[trc] Improve usability by getting values from `Logger` or integrating with it
I came across tracing
and noticed that flexi_logger has some support for it, so i tried it out, and once it is working it is working "great", but the setup is a little more annoying that should likely be, here some points:
- currently tracing can only be setup via the
flexi_logger::trc::setup_tracing
function (not combined with something likeLogger
/LoggerHandle
) - no way to clone a
FileLogWriter
(for example from aLogger
orLoggerHandle
) - no way to clone / get a
LogSpecification
from aLogger
- a way to integrate those "keep around the return value"(/
_keep_alive_handles
) on aLogger
/LoggerHandle
- EDIT: only one Writer is supported (like only to a file or somewhere else, not std* and file)
- EDIT2:
trc
impliesspecfile
andasync
(though i dont see the need to)
TL;DR: clone a Logger
's configuration (like printing to various places like stdout/stderr and files) or integrating with it
Please note that i dont have too much experience with tracing
itself, as i just came around to find it (and async in general).
Maybe i am also completely misunderstanding on how tracing in flexi_logger or tracing in general is meant to be used
example of current non-tracing Logger
/ LoggerHandle
creation we use
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I fully agree. At least when I wrote the stuff, the API of tracing for subscribers was really hard to use, much more than it should be. I'll give it another try...
