Struct CollectorBuilder

pub struct CollectorBuilder<N = DefaultFields, E = Format, F = LevelFilter, W = fn() -> Stdout> { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate features fmt and std only.

Configures and constructs Collectors.

Implementations

impl<N, E, F, W> CollectorBuilder<N, E, F, W>

where N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static, E: FormatEvent<Registry, N> + 'static, W: for<'writer> MakeWriter<'writer> + 'static, F: Subscribe<Formatter<N, E, W>> + Send + Sync + 'static, Subscriber<Registry, N, E, W>: Subscribe<Registry> + Send + Sync + 'static,

pub fn finish(self) -> Collector<N, E, F, W>

Finish the builder, returning a new FmtCollector.

pub fn try_init(self) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static>>

Install this collector as the global default if one is not already set.

If the tracing-log feature is enabled, this will also install the LogTracer to convert Log records into tracing Events.

Errors

Returns an Error if the initialization was unsuccessful, likely because a global collector was already installed by another call to try_init.

pub fn init(self)

Install this collector as the global default.

If the tracing-log feature is enabled, this will also install the LogTracer to convert Log records into tracing Events.

Panics

Panics if the initialization was unsuccessful, likely because a global collector was already installed by another call to try_init.

impl<N, L, T, F, W> CollectorBuilder<N, Format<L, T>, F, W>

where N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static,

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

Use the given timer for log message timestamps.

See the time module for the provided timer implementations.

Note that using the "time“” feature flag enables the additional time formatters UtcTime and LocalTime, which use the time crate to provide more sophisticated timestamp formatting options.

pub fn without_time(self) -> CollectorBuilder<N, Format<L, ()>, F, W>

Do not emit timestamps with log messages.

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: An event 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::format::FmtSpan;
use tracing_subscriber::fmt;

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 Collectors or by Subscribers added to this subscriber.

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

Sets whether or not the formatter emits ANSI terminal escape codes for colors and other text formatting.

Enabling ANSI escapes (calling with_ansi(true)) requires the “ansi” crate feature flag. Calling with_ansi(true) without the “ansi” feature flag enabled will panic if debug assertions are enabled, or print a warning otherwise.

This method itself is still available without the feature flag. This is to allow ANSI escape codes to be explicitly disabled without having to opt-in to the dependencies required to emit ANSI formatting. This way, code which constructs a formatter that should never emit ANSI escape codes can ensure that they are not used, regardless of whether or not other crates in the dependency graph enable the “ansi” feature flag.

pub fn log_internal_errors( self, log_internal_errors: bool, ) -> CollectorBuilder<N, Format<L, T>, F, W>

Sets whether to write errors from FormatEvent to the writer. Defaults to true.

By default, fmt::Collector will write any FormatEvent-internal errors to the writer. These errors are unlikely and will only occur if there is a bug in the FormatEvent implementation or its dependencies.

If writing to the writer fails, the error message is printed to stderr as a fallback.

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

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

pub fn with_file( self, display_filename: bool, ) -> CollectorBuilder<N, Format<L, T>, F, W>

Sets whether or not an event’s source code file path is displayed.

pub fn with_line_number( self, display_line_number: bool, ) -> CollectorBuilder<N, Format<L, T>, F, W>

Sets whether or not an event’s source code line number is displayed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

pub fn compact(self) -> CollectorBuilder<N, Format<Compact, T>, F, W>

where N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static,

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

See format::Compact for details.

pub fn pretty(self) -> CollectorBuilder<Pretty, Format<Pretty, T>, F, W>

Available on crate feature ansi only.

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

pub fn json(self) -> CollectorBuilder<JsonFields, Format<Json, T>, F, W>

where N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static,

Available on crate feature json only.

Sets the collector being built to use a JSON formatter.

See format::Json for details.

impl<T, F, W> CollectorBuilder<JsonFields, Format<Json, T>, F, W>

pub fn flatten_event( self, flatten_event: bool, ) -> CollectorBuilder<JsonFields, Format<Json, T>, F, W>

Available on crate feature json only.

Sets the json collector being built to flatten event metadata.

See format::Json for details.

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

Available on crate feature json only.

Sets whether or not the JSON subscriber being built will include the current span in formatted events.

See format::Json for details.

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

Available on crate feature json only.

Sets whether or not the JSON subscriber being built will include a list (from root to leaf) of all currently entered spans in formatted events.

See format::Json for details.

impl<N, E, F, W> CollectorBuilder<N, E, Subscriber<F>, W>

where Formatter<N, E, W>: Collect + 'static,

pub fn reload_handle(&self) -> Handle<F>

Returns a Handle that may be used to reload the constructed collector’s filter.

impl<N, E, F, W> CollectorBuilder<N, E, F, W>

pub fn fmt_fields<N2>(self, fmt_fields: N2) -> CollectorBuilder<N2, E, F, W>

where N2: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static,

Sets the Visitor that the collector being built will use to record fields.

For example:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt::format;
use tracing_subscriber::field::MakeExt;

let formatter =
    // Construct a custom formatter for `Debug` fields
    format::debug_fn(|writer, field, value| write!(writer, "{}: {:?}", field, value))
        // Use the `tracing_subscriber::MakeExt` trait to wrap the
        // formatter so that a delimiter is added between fields.
        .delimited(", ");

let collector = tracing_subscriber::fmt()
    .fmt_fields(formatter)
    .finish();

pub fn with_env_filter( self, filter: impl Into<EnvFilter>, ) -> CollectorBuilder<N, E, EnvFilter, W>

where Formatter<N, E, W>: Collect + 'static,

Available on crate feature env-filter only.

Sets the EnvFilter that the collector will use to determine if a span or event is enabled.

Note that this method requires the “env-filter” feature flag to be enabled.

If a filter was previously set, or a maximum level was set by the with_max_level method, that value is replaced by the new filter.

Examples

Setting a filter based on the value of the RUST_LOG environment variable:

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, EnvFilter};

fmt()
    .with_env_filter(EnvFilter::from_default_env())
    .init();

Setting a filter based on a pre-set filter directive string:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt;

fmt()
    .with_env_filter("my_crate=info,my_crate::my_mod=debug,[my_span]=trace")
    .init();

Adding additional directives to a filter constructed from an env var:

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, filter::{EnvFilter, LevelFilter}};

let filter = EnvFilter::try_from_env("MY_CUSTOM_FILTER_ENV_VAR")?
    // Set the base level when not matched by other directives to WARN.
    .add_directive(LevelFilter::WARN.into())
    // Set the max level for `my_crate::my_mod` to DEBUG, overriding
    // any directives parsed from the env variable.
    .add_directive("my_crate::my_mod=debug".parse()?);

fmt()
    .with_env_filter(filter)
    .try_init()?;

pub fn with_max_level( self, filter: impl Into<LevelFilter>, ) -> CollectorBuilder<N, E, LevelFilter, W>

Sets the maximum verbosity level that will be enabled by the collector.

If the max level has already been set, or a EnvFilter was added by with_env_filter, this replaces that configuration with the new maximum level.

Examples

Enable up to the DEBUG verbosity level:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt;
use tracing::Level;

fmt()
    .with_max_level(Level::DEBUG)
    .init();

This collector won’t record any spans or events!

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, filter::LevelFilter};

let subscriber = fmt()
    .with_max_level(LevelFilter::OFF)
    .finish();

pub fn with_filter_reloading(self) -> CollectorBuilder<N, E, Subscriber<F>, W>

Configures the collector being built to allow filter reloading at runtime.

The returned builder will have a reload_handle method, which returns a reload::Handle that may be used to set a new filter value.

For example:

use tracing::Level;
use tracing_subscriber::util::SubscriberInitExt;

let builder = tracing_subscriber::fmt()
     // Set a max level filter on the collector
    .with_max_level(Level::INFO)
    .with_filter_reloading();

// Get a handle for modifying the collector's max level filter.
let handle = builder.reload_handle();

// Finish building the collector, and set it as the default.
builder.finish().init();

// Currently, the max level is INFO, so this event will be disabled.
tracing::debug!("this is not recorded!");

// Use the handle to set a new max level filter.
// (this returns an error if the collector has been dropped, which shouldn't
// happen in this example.)
handle.reload(Level::DEBUG).expect("the collector should still exist");

// Now, the max level is INFO, so this event will be recorded.
tracing::debug!("this is recorded!");

pub fn event_format<E2>(self, fmt_event: E2) -> CollectorBuilder<N, E2, F, W>

where E2: FormatEvent<Registry, N> + 'static, N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static, W: for<'writer> MakeWriter<'writer> + 'static,

Sets the event formatter that the subscriber being built will use to format events that occur.

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

Examples

Setting a type implementing FormatEvent as the formatter:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt::format;

let subscriber = tracing_subscriber::fmt()
    .event_format(format().compact())
    .finish();

pub fn with_writer<W2>(self, make_writer: W2) -> CollectorBuilder<N, E, F, W2>

where W2: for<'writer> MakeWriter<'writer> + 'static,

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

Examples

Using stderr rather than stdout:

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

fmt()
    .with_writer(io::stderr)
    .init();

pub fn with_test_writer(self) -> CollectorBuilder<N, E, F, TestWriter>

Configures the collector 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. Note that we do not install it globally as it may cause conflicts.

use tracing_subscriber::fmt;
use tracing::collect;

collect::set_default(
    fmt()
        .with_test_writer()
        .finish()
);

pub fn map_event_format<E2>( self, f: impl FnOnce(E) -> E2, ) -> CollectorBuilder<N, E2, F, W>

where E2: FormatEvent<Registry, N> + 'static, N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static, W: for<'writer> MakeWriter<'writer> + 'static,

Updates the event formatter by applying a function to the existing event formatter.

This sets the event formatter that the collector being built will use to record fields.

Examples

Updating an event formatter:

let subscriber = tracing_subscriber::fmt()
    .map_event_format(|e| e.compact())
    .finish();

pub fn map_fmt_fields<N2>( self, f: impl FnOnce(N) -> N2, ) -> CollectorBuilder<N2, E, F, W>

where N2: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static,

Updates the field formatter by applying a function to the existing field formatter.

This sets the field formatter that the subscriber being built will use to record fields.

Examples

Updating a field formatter:

use tracing_subscriber::field::MakeExt;
let subscriber = tracing_subscriber::fmt()
    .map_fmt_fields(|f| f.debug_alt())
    .finish();

pub fn map_writer<W2>( self, f: impl FnOnce(W) -> W2, ) -> CollectorBuilder<N, E, F, W2>

where W2: for<'writer> MakeWriter<'writer> + 'static,

Updates the MakeWriter by applying a function to the existing MakeWriter.

This sets the MakeWriter that the subscriber being built will use to write events.

Examples

Redirect output to stderr if level is <= WARN:

use tracing::Level;
use tracing_subscriber::fmt::{self, writer::MakeWriterExt};

let stderr = std::io::stderr.with_max_level(Level::WARN);
let collector = tracing_subscriber::fmt()
    .map_writer(move |w| stderr.or_else(w))
    .finish();
