C++ - allow platform-specific logging sinks in order to support non-posix
platforms
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: QPID-1361
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1361
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++ Broker, C++ Client
Reporter: Steve Huston
Assignee: Steve Huston
The current C++ code has options that affect run-time logging. The information
and level selectors are portable. The options affecting the logging sinks are
not. There was a recent exchange on qpid-dev concerning how best to handle
adding Windows logging sink options. The end result was a change from the
multiple --log-output possibilities to:
Logging sink options:
--log-to-stderr yes|no (1) Send logging output to stderr
--log-to-stdout yes|no (0) Send logging output to stdout
--log-to-file FILE Send log output to FILE.
--log-to-syslog yes|no (0) Send logging output to syslog;
customize using --syslog-name and
--syslog-facility
--syslog-name NAME (lt-qpidd) Name to use in syslog messages
--syslog-facility LOG_XXX (LOG_DAEMON) Facility to use in syslog messages
On Windows, these will be different, in that there's no syslog. There will
probably be something directing to the system event log and possibly some event
log-specific options. Other platforms may have other possibilities and may or
may not have stderr/stdout options. It's now dependent on the platform what the
logging sinks are.
