register_logger {teal.logger}

Registers a logger instance in a given logging namespace.

Description

Usage

register_logger(namespace = NA_character_, layout = NULL, level = NULL)

Arguments

namespace

(character(1) or NA_character_)
the name of the logging namespace

layout

(character(1))
the log layout. Alongside the standard logging variables provided by the logging package (e.g. pid) the token variable can be used which will write the last 8 characters of the shiny session token to the log.

level

(character(1) or call) the log level. Can be passed as character or one of the logger's objects. See logger::log_threshold() for more information.

Details

Creates a new logging namespace specified by the namespace argument. When the layout and level arguments are set to NULL (default), the function gets the values for them from system variables or R options. When deciding what to use (either argument, an R option or system variable), the function picks the first non NULL value, checking in order:

1. Function argument.

2. System variable.

3. R option.

layout and level can be set as system environment variables, respectively:

• teal.log_layout as TEAL.LOG_LAYOUT,

• teal.log_level as TEAL.LOG_LEVEL.

If neither the argument nor the environment variable is set the function uses the following R options:

• options(teal.log_layout), which is passed to logger::layout_glue_generator(),

• options(teal.log_level), which is passed to logger::log_threshold()

The logs are output to stdout by default. Check logger for more information about layouts and how to use logger.

Value

invisible(NULL)

Note

It's a thin wrapper around the logger package.
