Module format

Available on crate features fmt and std only.

Formatters for logging tracing events.

This module provides several formatter implementations, as well as utilities for implementing custom formatters.

Formatters

This module provides a number of formatter implementations:

• Full: The default formatter. This emits human-readable, single-line logs for each event that occurs, with the current span context displayed before the formatted representation of the event. See here for sample output.

• Compact: A variant of the default formatter, optimized for short line lengths. Fields from the current span context are appended to the fields of the formatted event, and span names are not shown; the verbosity level is abbreviated to a single character. See here for sample output.

• Pretty: Emits excessively pretty, multi-line logs, optimized for human readability. This is primarily intended to be used in local development and debugging, or for command-line applications, where automated analysis and compact storage of logs is less of a priority than readability and visual appeal. See here for sample output.

• Json: Outputs newline-delimited JSON logs. This is intended for production use with systems where structured logs are consumed as JSON by analysis and viewing tools. The JSON output is not optimized for human readability. See here for sample output.

Structs

• Compact
  Marker for Format that indicates that the compact log format should be used.
• DefaultFields
  The default FormatFields implementation.
• DefaultVisitor
  The visitor produced by DefaultFields’s MakeVisitor implementation.
• FieldFn
  A FormatFields implementation that formats fields by calling a function or closure.
• FieldFnVisitor
  The visitor produced by FieldFn’s MakeVisitor implementation.
• FmtSpan
  Configures what points in the span lifecycle are logged as events.
• Format
  A pre-configured event formatter.
• Full
  Marker for Format that indicates that the default log format should be used.
• Jsonjson
  Marker for Format that indicates that the newline-delimited JSON log format should be used.
• JsonFieldsjson
  The JSON FormatFields implementation.
• JsonVisitorjson
  The visitor produced by JsonFields’s MakeVisitor implementation.
• Prettyansi
  An excessively pretty, human-readable event formatter.
• PrettyFieldsansi
  An excessively pretty, human-readable MakeVisitor implementation.
• PrettyVisitoransi
  The visitor produced by Pretty’s MakeVisitor implementation.
• Writer
  A writer to which formatted representations of spans and events are written.

Traits
