Class Logger

A basic logger facade that delegates to an underlying output implementation.

Namespace: LaunchDarkly.Logging

Assembly: LaunchDarkly.Logging.dll

Syntax

public sealed class Logger

Remarks

Code that generates log output will send it through this class. What happens to the output depends on the ILogAdapter that was used to create the Logger.

The logger has output methods for each of the levels defined in LogLevel. Each can take either a simple string, or a format string with variable parameters in the syntax used by Format(string, object). For efficiency (to avoid unnecessarily creating varargs arrays), each method has four overloads: one simple string, format with one parameter, format with two parameters, and format with an arbitrary number of parameters.

Methods

Debug(object)

Writes a message at Debug level.

Declaration

public void Debug(object message)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object	message	the message; if null, nothing is logged

Debug(string, object)

Writes a message at Debug level with one parameter.

Declaration

public void Debug(string format, object param)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string; if null, nothing is logged
object	param	the parameter

Debug(string, object, object)

Writes a message at Debug level with two parameters.

Declaration

public void Debug(string format, object param1, object param2)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string; if null, nothing is logged
object	param1	the first parameter
object	param2	the second parameter

Debug(string, params object[])

Writes a message at Debug level with any number of parameters.

Declaration

public void Debug(string format, params object[] allParams)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string; if null, nothing is logged
object[]	allParams	the parameters

Error(object)

Writes a message at Error level.

Declaration

public void Error(object message)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object	message	the message

Error(string, object, object)

Writes a message at Error level with two parameters.

Declaration

public void Error(string format, object param1, object param2)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string
object	param1	the first parameter
object	param2	the second parameter

Error(string, params object[])

Writes a message at Error level with any number of parameters.

Declaration

public void Error(string format, params object[] allParams)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string
object[]	allParams	the parameters

Info(object)

Writes a message at Info level.

Declaration

public void Info(object message)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object	message	the message

Info(string, object)

Writes a message at Info level with one parameter.

Declaration

public void Info(string format, object param)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string
object	param	the parameter

Info(string, object, object)

Writes a message at Info level with two parameters.

Declaration

public void Info(string format, object param1, object param2)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string
object	param1	the first parameter
object	param2	the second parameter

Info(string, params object[])

Writes a message at Info level with any number of parameters.

Declaration

public void Info(string format, params object[] allParams)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string
object[]	allParams	the parameters

IsEnabled(LogLevel)

Tests whether log output for a certain level is at least potentially visible.

Declaration

public bool IsEnabled(LogLevel level)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
LogLevel	level	a log level

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true if this level is potentially visible

Remarks

Generally, any desired level filtering should be set up in the initial logging configuration, and code that generates log messages should simply call methods like Info(object) without having to know whether that particular level is enabled or is being filtered out. However, if some kind of log message is particularly expensive to compute, you may call IsEnabled; a false value means you can skip trying to log any message at that level.

Another approach is to generate any computationally expensive output lazily, such as by using the methods in LogValues.

SubLogger(string)

Creates a logger instance derived from this instance.

Declaration

public Logger SubLogger(string nameSuffix)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	nameSuffix	will be appended to the current logger's name, separated by a period, to create the new logger's name

Returns

Type	Description
Logger	a new logger instance

Warn(object)

Writes a message at Warn level.

Declaration

public void Warn(object message)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object	message	the message

Warn(string, object)

Writes a message at Warn level with one parameter.

Declaration

public void Warn(string format, object param)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string
object	param	the parameter

Warn(string, object, object)

Writes a message at Warn level with two parameters.

Declaration

public void Warn(string format, object param1, object param2)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description

error(string, object)

Writes a message at Error level with one parameter.

Declaration

public void error(string format, object param)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	the format string
