pub struct SubscriberBuilder<N = DefaultFields, E = Format<Full>, F = LevelFilter, W = fn() -> Stdout> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Configures and constructs Subscribers.

Implementations§

Finish the builder, returning a new FmtSubscriber.

Install this Subscriber as the global default if one is not already set.

If the tracing-log feature is enabled, this will also install the LogTracer to convert Log records into tracing Events.

Errors

Returns an Error if the initialization was unsuccessful, likely because a global subscriber was already installed by another call to try_init.

Install this Subscriber as the global default.

If the tracing-log feature is enabled, this will also install the LogTracer to convert Log records into tracing Events.

Panics

Panics if the initialization was unsuccessful, likely because a global subscriber was already installed by another call to try_init.

Use the given timer for log message timestamps.

See time for the provided timer implementations.

Note that using the chrono feature flag enables the additional time formatters ChronoUtc and ChronoLocal.

Do not emit timestamps with log messages.

Configures how synthesized events are emitted at points in the span lifecycle.

The following options are available:

  • FmtSpan::NONE: No events will be synthesized when spans are created, entered, exited, or closed. Data from spans will still be included as the context for formatted events. This is the default.
  • FmtSpan::NEW: An event will be synthesized when spans are created.
  • FmtSpan::ENTER: An event will be synthesized when spans are entered.
  • FmtSpan::EXIT: An event will be synthesized when spans are exited.
  • FmtSpan::CLOSE: An event will be synthesized when a span closes. If timestamps are enabled for this formatter, the generated event will contain fields with the span’s busy time (the total time for which it was entered) and idle time (the total time that the span existed but was not entered).
  • FmtSpan::ACTIVE: An event will be synthesized when spans are entered or exited.
  • FmtSpan::FULL: Events will be synthesized whenever a span is created, entered, exited, or closed. If timestamps are enabled, the close event will contain the span’s busy and idle time, as described above.

The options can be enabled in any combination. For instance, the following will synthesize events whenever spans are created and closed:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt::format::FmtSpan;
use tracing_subscriber::fmt;

let subscriber = fmt()
    .with_span_events(FmtSpan::NEW | FmtSpan::CLOSE)
    .finish();

Note that the generated events will only be part of the log output by this formatter; they will not be recorded by other Subscribers or by Layers added to this subscriber.

Enable ANSI encoding for formatted events.

Sets whether or not an event’s target is displayed.

Sets whether or not an event’s level is displayed.

Sets whether or not the name of the current thread is displayed when formatting events

Sets whether or not the thread ID of the current thread is displayed when formatting events

Sets the subscriber being built to use a less verbose formatter.

See format::Compact.

Sets the subscriber being built to use an excessively pretty, human-readable formatter.

Sets the subscriber being built to use a JSON formatter.

See format::Json

Sets the json subscriber being built to flatten event metadata.

See format::Json

Sets whether or not the JSON subscriber being built will include the current span in formatted events.

See format::Json

Sets whether or not the JSON subscriber being built will include a list (from root to leaf) of all currently entered spans in formatted events.

See format::Json

Configures the subscriber being built to allow filter reloading at runtime.

Returns a Handle that may be used to reload the constructed subscriber’s filter.

Sets the Visitor that the subscriber being built will use to record fields.

For example:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt::format;
use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;

let formatter =
    // Construct a custom formatter for `Debug` fields
    format::debug_fn(|writer, field, value| write!(writer, "{}: {:?}", field, value))
        // Use the `tracing_subscriber::MakeFmtExt` trait to wrap the
        // formatter so that a delimiter is added between fields.
        .delimited(", ");

let subscriber = tracing_subscriber::fmt()
    .fmt_fields(formatter)
    .finish();

Sets the EnvFilter that the subscriber will use to determine if a span or event is enabled.

Note that this method requires the “env-filter” feature flag to be enabled.

If a filter was previously set, or a maximum level was set by the with_max_level method, that value is replaced by the new filter.

Examples

Setting a filter based on the value of the RUST_LOG environment variable:

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, EnvFilter};

fmt()
    .with_env_filter(EnvFilter::from_default_env())
    .init();

Setting a filter based on a pre-set filter directive string:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt;

fmt()
    .with_env_filter("my_crate=info,my_crate::my_mod=debug,[my_span]=trace")
    .init();

Adding additional directives to a filter constructed from an env var:

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, filter::{EnvFilter, LevelFilter}};

let filter = EnvFilter::try_from_env("MY_CUSTOM_FILTER_ENV_VAR")?
    // Set the base level when not matched by other directives to WARN.
    .add_directive(LevelFilter::WARN.into())
    // Set the max level for `my_crate::my_mod` to DEBUG, overriding
    // any directives parsed from the env variable.
    .add_directive("my_crate::my_mod=debug".parse()?);

fmt()
    .with_env_filter(filter)
    .try_init()?;

Sets the maximum verbosity level that will be enabled by the subscriber.

If the max level has already been set, or a EnvFilter was added by with_filter, this replaces that configuration with the new maximum level.

Examples

Enable up to the DEBUG verbosity level:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt;
use tracing::Level;

fmt()
    .with_max_level(Level::DEBUG)
    .init();

This subscriber won’t record any spans or events!

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, filter::LevelFilter};

let subscriber = fmt()
    .with_max_level(LevelFilter::OFF)
    .finish();

Sets the function that the subscriber being built should use to format events that occur.

👎Deprecated since 0.2.0: this no longer does anything

Sets whether or not spans inherit their parents’ field values (disabled by default).

👎Deprecated since 0.2.0: renamed to event_format.

Sets the function that the subscriber being built should use to format events that occur.

Sets the MakeWriter that the subscriber being built will use to write events.

Examples

Using stderr rather than stdout:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt;
use std::io;

fmt()
    .with_writer(io::stderr)
    .init();

Configures the subscriber to support libtest’s output capturing when used in unit tests.

See TestWriter for additional details.

Examples

Using TestWriter to let cargo test capture test output. Note that we do not install it globally as it may cause conflicts.

use tracing_subscriber::fmt;
use tracing::subscriber;

subscriber::set_default(
    fmt()
        .with_test_writer()
        .finish()
);
