Struct tracing_subscriber::fmt::Layer

pub struct Layer<S, N = DefaultFields, E = Format<Full>, W = fn() -> Stdout> { /* private fields */ }

A Layer that logs formatted representations of tracing events.

Examples

Constructing a layer with the default configuration:

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, Registry};
use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;

let subscriber = Registry::default()
    .with(fmt::Layer::default());

tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber).unwrap();

Overriding the layer’s behavior:

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, Registry};
use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;

let fmt_layer = fmt::layer()
   .with_target(false) // don't include event targets when logging
   .with_level(false); // don't include event levels when logging

let subscriber = Registry::default().with(fmt_layer);

Setting a custom event formatter:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt::{self, format, time};
use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;

let fmt = format().with_timer(time::Uptime::default());
let fmt_layer = fmt::layer()
    .event_format(fmt)
    .with_target(false);

Implementations

impl<S> Layer<S>

pub fn builder() -> LayerBuilder<S>

👎Deprecated since 0.2.4: a separate layer builder is not necessary, use Layer::new/Layer::default instead

Returns a new LayerBuilder for configuring a Layer.

pub fn new() -> Self

Returns a new Layer with the default configuration.

impl<S, N, E, W> Layer<S, N, E, W>where S: Subscriber + for<'a> LookupSpan<'a>, N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static, W: MakeWriter + 'static,

pub fn event_format<E2>(self, e: E2) -> Layer<S, N, E2, W>where E2: FormatEvent<S, N> + 'static,

Sets the event formatter that the layer will use to format events.

The event formatter may be any type implementing the FormatEvent trait, which is implemented for all functions taking a FmtContext, a &mut dyn Write, and an Event.

Examples

Setting a type implementing FormatEvent as the formatter:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt::{self, format};

let layer = fmt::layer()
    .event_format(format().compact());

impl<S, N, E, W> Layer<S, N, E, W>

pub fn with_writer<W2>(self, make_writer: W2) -> Layer<S, N, E, W2>where W2: MakeWriter + 'static,

Sets the MakeWriter that the Layer being built will use to write events.

Examples

Using stderr rather than stdout:

use std::io;
use tracing_subscriber::fmt;

let layer = fmt::layer()
    .with_writer(io::stderr);

pub fn with_test_writer(self) -> Layer<S, N, E, TestWriter>

Configures the subscriber to support libtest’s output capturing when used in unit tests.

See TestWriter for additional details.

Examples

Using TestWriter to let cargo test capture test output:

use std::io;
use tracing_subscriber::fmt;

let layer = fmt::layer()
    .with_test_writer();

impl<S, N, L, T, W> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>where N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static,

pub fn with_timer<T2>(self, timer: T2) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T2>, W>

Use the given timer for span and event timestamps.

See time for the provided timer implementations.

Note that using the chrono feature flag enables the additional time formatters ChronoUtc and ChronoLocal.

pub fn without_time(self) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, ()>, W>

Do not emit timestamps with spans and event.

pub fn with_span_events(self, kind: FmtSpan) -> Self

Configures how synthesized events are emitted at points in the span lifecycle.

The following options are available:

• FmtSpan::NONE: No events will be synthesized when spans are created, entered, exited, or closed. Data from spans will still be included as the context for formatted events. This is the default.
• FmtSpan::NEW: An event will be synthesized when spans are created.
• FmtSpan::ENTER: An event will be synthesized when spans are entered.
• FmtSpan::EXIT: An event will be synthesized when spans are exited.
• FmtSpan::CLOSE: An event will be synthesized when a span closes. If timestamps are enabled for this formatter, the generated event will contain fields with the span’s busy time (the total time for which it was entered) and idle time (the total time that the span existed but was not entered).
• FmtSpan::ACTIVE: Events will be synthesized when spans are entered or exited.
• FmtSpan::FULL: Events will be synthesized whenever a span is created, entered, exited, or closed. If timestamps are enabled, the close event will contain the span’s busy and idle time, as described above.

The options can be enabled in any combination. For instance, the following will synthesize events whenever spans are created and closed:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt;
use tracing_subscriber::fmt::format::FmtSpan;

let subscriber = fmt()
    .with_span_events(FmtSpan::NEW | FmtSpan::CLOSE)
    .finish();

Note that the generated events will only be part of the log output by this formatter; they will not be recorded by other Subscribers or by Layers added to this subscriber.

pub fn with_ansi(self, ansi: bool) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

Enable ANSI encoding for formatted events.

pub fn with_target(self, display_target: bool) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

Sets whether or not an event’s target is displayed.

pub fn with_level(self, display_level: bool) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

Sets whether or not an event’s level is displayed.

pub fn with_thread_ids( self, display_thread_ids: bool ) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

Sets whether or not the thread ID of the current thread is displayed when formatting events

pub fn with_thread_names( self, display_thread_names: bool ) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

Sets whether or not the name of the current thread is displayed when formatting events

pub fn compact(self) -> Layer<S, N, Format<Compact, T>, W>where N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static,

Sets the layer being built to use a less verbose formatter.

pub fn pretty(self) -> Layer<S, Pretty, Format<Pretty, T>, W>

Sets the layer being built to use an excessively pretty, human-readable formatter.

pub fn json(self) -> Layer<S, JsonFields, Format<Json, T>, W>

Sets the layer being built to use a JSON formatter.

The full format includes fields from all entered spans.

Example Output

{"timestamp":"Feb 20 11:28:15.096","level":"INFO","target":"mycrate","fields":{"message":"some message", "key": "value"}}

Options

• Layer::flatten_event can be used to enable flattening event fields into the root object.

See format::Json

pub fn with_current_span( self, display_current_span: bool ) -> Layer<S, JsonFields, Format<Json, T>, W>

See format::Json

pub fn with_span_list( self, display_span_list: bool ) -> Layer<S, JsonFields, Format<Json, T>, W>

pub fn finish(self) -> Layer<S, N, E, W>

Builds a Layer with the provided configuration.
