# spdlog
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Very fast, header only, C++ logging library. [](https://travis-ci.org/gabime/spdlog)  [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/gabime/spdlog)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
#### Just copy the headers:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Copy the source [folder](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/tree/v1.x/include/spdlog) to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Or use your favorite package manager:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Ubuntu: `apt-get install libspdlog-dev`
 | 
						|
* Homebrew: `brew install spdlog`
 | 
						|
* FreeBSD:  `cd /usr/ports/devel/spdlog/ && make install clean`
 | 
						|
* Fedora: `yum install spdlog`
 | 
						|
* Gentoo: `emerge dev-libs/spdlog`
 | 
						|
* Arch Linux: `yaourt -S spdlog-git`
 | 
						|
* vcpkg: `vcpkg install spdlog`
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Platforms
 | 
						|
 * Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, AIX
 | 
						|
 * Windows (msvc 2013+, cygwin)
 | 
						|
 * macOS (clang 3.5+)
 | 
						|
 * Android
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Features
 | 
						|
* Very fast - performance is the primary goal (see [benchmarks](#benchmarks) below).
 | 
						|
* Headers only, just copy and use.
 | 
						|
* Feature rich using the excellent [fmt](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) library.
 | 
						|
* Fast asynchronous mode (optional)
 | 
						|
* [Custom](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/wiki/3.-Custom-formatting) formatting.
 | 
						|
* Multi/Single threaded loggers.
 | 
						|
* Various log targets:
 | 
						|
    * Rotating log files.
 | 
						|
    * Daily log files.
 | 
						|
    * Console logging (colors supported).
 | 
						|
    * syslog.
 | 
						|
    * Windows debugger (```OutputDebugString(..)```)
 | 
						|
    * Easily extendable with custom log targets  (just implement a single function in the [sink](include/spdlog/sinks/sink.h) interface).
 | 
						|
* Severity based filtering - threshold levels can be modified in runtime as well as in compile time.
 | 
						|
* Binary data logging.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    // create color multi threaded logger

						|
    console->critical("Support for int: {0:d};  hex: {0:x};  oct: {0:o}; bin: {0:b}", 42);
 | 
						|
    console->info("Support for floats {:03.2f}", 1.23456);
 | 
						|
    console->info("Positional args are {1} {0}..", "too", "supported");
 | 
						|
    console->info("{:<30}", "left aligned");
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    spdlog::get("console")->info("loggers can be retrieved from a global registry using the spdlog::get(logger_name)");
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    // Runtime log levels
 | 
						|
    spdlog::set_level(spdlog::level::info); // Set global log level to info
 | 
						|
    console->debug("This message should not be displayed!");
 | 
						|
    console->set_level(spdlog::level::trace); // Set specific logger's log level
 | 
						|
    console->debug("This message should be displayed..");
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    // Customize msg format for all loggers
 | 
						|
    spdlog::set_pattern("[%H:%M:%S %z] [%n] [%^---%L---%$] [thread %t] %v");
 | 
						|
    console->info("This an info message with custom format");
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    // Compile time log levels
 | 
						|
    // define SPDLOG_DEBUG_ON or SPDLOG_TRACE_ON
 | 
						|
    SPDLOG_TRACE(console, "Enabled only #ifdef SPDLOG_TRACE_ON..{} ,{}", 1, 3.23);
 | 
						|
    SPDLOG_DEBUG(console, "Enabled only #ifdef SPDLOG_DEBUG_ON.. {} ,{}", 1, 3.23);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```

#### Basic file logger
 | 
						|
```c++
 | 
						|
#include "spdlog/sinks/basic_file_sink.h"
 | 
						|
void basic_logfile_example()
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    try 
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
        auto my_logger = spdlog::basic_logger_mt("basic_logger", "logs/basic-log.txt");
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
    catch (const spdlog::spdlog_ex &ex)
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
        std::cout << "Log init failed: " << ex.what() << std::endl;
 | 
						|
        return 1;
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
#### Rotating files
 | 
						|
```c++
 | 
						|
#include "spdlog/sinks/rotating_file_sink.h"
 | 
						|
void rotating_example()
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    // Create a file rotating logger with 5mb size max and 3 rotated files
 | 
						|
    auto rotating_logger = spdlog::rotating_logger_mt("some_logger_name", "logs/rotating.txt", 1048576 * 5, 3);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
#### Daily files
 | 
						|
```c++
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#include "spdlog/sinks/daily_file_sink.h"
 | 
						|
void daily_example()
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    // Create a daily logger - a new file is created every day on 2:30am
 | 
						|
    auto daily_logger = spdlog::daily_logger_mt("daily_logger", "logs/daily.txt", 2, 30);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
#### Cloning loggers 
 | 
						|
```c++
 | 
						|
// clone a logger and give it new name.
 | 
						|
// Useful for creating subsystem loggers from some "root" logger
 | 
						|
void clone_example()
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    auto network_logger = spdlog::get("root")->clone("network");
 | 
						|
    network_logger->info("Logging network stuff..");
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
#### Periodic flush
 | 
						|
```c++
 | 
						|
// periodically flush all *registered* loggers every 3 seconds:
 | 
						|
// warning: only use if all your loggers are thread safe!
 | 
						|
spdlog::flush_every(std::chrono::seconds(3));
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
#### Binary logging
 | 
						|
```c++
 | 
						|
// log binary data as hex.
 | 
						|
// many types of std::container<char> types can be used.
 | 
						|
// ranges are supported too.
 | 
						|
// format flags:
 | 
						|
// {:X} - print in uppercase.
 | 
						|
// {:s} - don't separate each byte with space.
 | 
						|
// {:p} - don't print the position on each line start.
 | 
						|
// {:n} - don't split the output to lines.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#include "spdlog/fmt/bin_to_hex.h"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
void binary_example()
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    auto console = spdlog::get("console");
 | 
						|
    std::array<char, 80> buf;
 | 
						|
    console->info("Binary example: {}", spdlog::to_hex(buf));
 | 
						|
    console->info("Another binary example:{:n}", spdlog::to_hex(std::begin(buf), std::begin(buf) + 10));
 | 
						|
    // more examples:
 | 
						|
    // logger->info("uppercase: {:X}", spdlog::to_hex(buf));
 | 
						|
    // logger->info("uppercase, no delimiters: {:Xs}", spdlog::to_hex(buf));
 | 
						|
    // logger->info("uppercase, no delimiters, no position info: {:Xsp}", spdlog::to_hex(buf));
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
#### Logger with multi sinks - each with different format and log level
 | 
						|
```c++
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// create logger with 2 targets with different log levels and formats.
 | 
						|
// the console will show only warnings or errors, while the file will log all.
 | 
						|
void multi_sink_example()
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    auto console_sink = std::make_shared<spdlog::sinks::stdout_color_sink_mt>();
 | 
						|
    console_sink->set_level(spdlog::level::warn);
 | 
						|
    console_sink->set_pattern("[multi_sink_example] [%^%l%$] %v");
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    auto file_sink = std::make_shared<spdlog::sinks::basic_file_sink_mt>("logs/multisink.txt", true);
 | 
						|
    file_sink->set_level(spdlog::level::trace);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    spdlog::logger logger("multi_sink", {console_sink, file_sink});
 | 
						|
    logger.set_level(spdlog::level::debug);
 | 
						|
    logger.warn("this should appear in both console and file");
 | 
						|
    logger.info("this message should not appear in the console, only in the file");
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|
#include "spdlog/sinks/basic_file_sink.h"
 | 
						|
void async_example()
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    // default thread pool settings can be modified *before* creating the async logger:
 | 
						|
    // spdlog::init_thread_pool(8192, 1); // queue with 8k items and 1 backing thread.
 | 
						|
    auto async_file = spdlog::basic_logger_mt<spdlog::async_factory>("async_file_logger", "logs/async_log.txt");
 | 
						|
    // alternatively:
 | 
						|
    // auto async_file = spdlog::create_async<spdlog::sinks::basic_file_sink_mt>("async_file_logger", "logs/async_log.txt");
