SwifterLog

A framework in Swift to create and manage log entries.

SwifterLog is part of the Swiftfire, the HTTP(S) webserver framework.

Features

• 5 different logging targets:
  1. The OS Log facility
  2. A file
  3. STDOUT (println)
  4. A network destination
  5. A list of callback objects from the Application itself.
• 8 log levels:
  1. Debug
  2. Info
  3. Notice
  4. Warning
  5. Error
  6. Critical
  7. Alert
  8. Emergency
• Each logging target can have its own cut-off level for the information that is logged.
• The file target can be configured to store the log info in a predefined number of files of a predefined maximum size. When the maximum number of files is exceeded, the oldest file will automatically be removed.
• Included high performance non-evaluation destinations to allow debug logging calls to remain in shipping code
• Compiles using SPM (Swift Package Manager)
• Includes Xcode project that creates a modular framework.
