View Source Logger.Backends.Console (Logger v1.14.5)

A logger backend that logs messages by printing them to the console.

Options

:level - the level to be logged by this backend. Note that messages are filtered by the general :level configuration for the :logger application first.
:format - the format message used to print logs. Defaults to: "\n$time $metadata[$level] $message\n". It may also be a {module, function} tuple that is invoked with the log level, the message, the current timestamp and the metadata and must return IO.chardata/0. See Logger.Formatter.
:metadata - the metadata to be printed by $metadata. Defaults to an empty list (no metadata). Setting :metadata to :all prints all metadata. See the "Metadata" section for more information.
:colors - a keyword list of coloring options.
:device - the device to log error messages to. Defaults to :user but can be changed to something else such as :standard_error.
:max_buffer - maximum events to buffer while waiting for a confirmation from the IO device (default: 32). Once the buffer is full, the backend will block until a confirmation is received.

The supported keys in the :colors keyword list are:

:enabled - boolean value that allows for switching the coloring on and off. Defaults to: IO.ANSI.enabled?/0
:debug - color for debug messages. Defaults to: :cyan
:info - color for info and notice messages. Defaults to: :normal
:warning - color for warning messages. Defaults to: :yellow
:error - color for error and higher messages. Defaults to: :red

See the IO.ANSI module for a list of colors and attributes.

Here is an example of how to configure the :console backend in a config/config.exs file:

config :logger, :console,
  format: "\n$time $metadata[$level] $message\n",
  metadata: [:user_id]
