Logging

logging is a fundamental aspect of software development and system administration, providing a valuable means to record and monitor the activities and events within an application or system this tutorial aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills to enable logging in your applications or systems effectively we will explore the essential concepts of logging, such as log levels, log formats, and log destinations by the end of this tutorial, you will have a clear understanding of how to incorporate logging into your projects and locate log files for analysis and debugging purposes prerequisites completed the docid\ lsfy9tq3vfq4roow9shkd tutorial, specifically initialized licensemanager (or licensehandler ) with your configuration using the appropriate settings created a licenseid using either licenseid fromkey or licenseid fromuser function, depending on the activation method you prefer implemented basic license management, including license activations, deactivations, and both online and local license checks enabling logging and verifying its status logging is enabled within the configuration object, prior to the product and license being configured within the application note logging is disabled by default logging can be enabled using the following method void licensespring extendedoptions enablelogging( bool enable ) bool licensespring extendedoptions enableloggingpublic b requestlogging( feign logger level requestlogging )// just set log handler lslog log = { level, message in print("\[\\(level)] \\(message())") }import logging \# configure logging logging basicconfig( filename='app log', # name of the log file filemode='a', # append to the file ('w' for overwrite) format='%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s', # log format level=logging info # log level (debug, info, warning, error, critical) ) warning logging is for developer use only, ensure it is disabled in your release builds to see how to enable logging in an application environment, see below std string appname = "name";
