API module for Logger, the standard logging facility in Erlang/OTP.
This module implements the main API for logging in Erlang/OTP. To create a log event, use the API functions or the log macros, for example:
?LOG_ERROR("error happened because: ~p", [Reason]). % With macro
logger:error("error happened because: ~p", [Reason]). % Without macro
To configure the Logger backend, use Kernel configuration parameters or configuration functions in the Logger API.
By default, the Kernel application installs one log handler at system start. This handler is named default
. It receives and processes standard log events produced by the Erlang runtime system, standard behaviours and different Erlang/OTP applications. The log events are by default printed to the terminal.
If you want your systems logs to be printed to a file instead, you must configure the default handler to do so. The simplest way is to include the following in your sys.config
:
[{kernel,
[{logger,
[{handler, default, logger_std_h,
#{config => #{file => "path/to/file.log"}}}]}]}].
For more information about:
logger_std_h
and logger_disk_log_h
.logger_formatter
.logger_filters
.The following macros are defined in logger.hrl
, which is included in a module with the directive
-include_lib("kernel/include/logger.hrl").
?LOG_EMERGENCY(StringOrReport[,Metadata])
?LOG_EMERGENCY(FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])
?LOG_ALERT(StringOrReport[,Metadata])
?LOG_ALERT(FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])
?LOG_CRITICAL(StringOrReport[,Metadata])
?LOG_CRITICAL(FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])
?LOG_ERROR(StringOrReport[,Metadata])
?LOG_ERROR(FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])
?LOG_WARNING(StringOrReport[,Metadata])
?LOG_WARNING(FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])
?LOG_NOTICE(StringOrReport[,Metadata])
?LOG_NOTICE(FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])
?LOG_INFO(StringOrReport[,Metadata])
?LOG_INFO(FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])
?LOG_DEBUG(StringOrReport[,Metadata])
?LOG_DEBUG(FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])
?LOG(Level,StringOrReport[,Metadata])
?LOG(Level,FunOrFormat,Args[,Metadata])
All macros expand to a call to Logger, where Level
is taken from the macro name, or from the first argument in the case of the ?LOG
macro. Location data is added to the metadata as described under the metadata/0
type definition.
The call is wrapped in a case statement and will be evaluated only if Level
is equal to or below the configured log level.

-type level() :: emergency | alert | critical | error | warning | notice | info | debug.
The severity level for the message to be logged.
A log event passed to filters and handlers
-type metadata() :: #{pid => pid(), gl => pid(), time => timestamp(), mfa => {module(), atom(), non_neg_integer()}, file => file:filename(), line => non_neg_integer(), domain => [atom()], report_cb => report_cb(), atom() => term()}.
Metadata for the log event.
Logger adds the following metadata to each log event:
pid => self()
gl => group_leader()
time => logger:timestamp()
When a log macro is used, Logger also inserts location information:
mfa => {?MODULE, ?FUNCTION_NAME, ?FUNCTION_ARITY}
file => ?FILE
line => ?LINE
You can add custom metadata, either by:
set_process_metadata/1
or update_process_metadata/1
.set_primary_config/1
or through the kernel configuration parameter logger_metadataWhen adding custom metadata, make sure not to use any of the keys mentioned above as that may cause a lot of confusion about the log events.
Logger merges all the metadata maps before forwarding the log event to the handlers. If the same keys occur, values from the log call overwrite process metadata, which overwrites the primary metadata, which in turn overwrite values set by Logger.
The following custom metadata keys have special meaning:
domain
- The value associated with this key is used by filters for grouping log events originating from, for example, specific functional areas. See logger_filters:domain/2
for a description of how this field can be used.
report_cb
- If the log message is specified as a report/0
, the report_cb
key can be associated with a fun (report callback) that converts the report to a format string and arguments, or directly to a string. See the type definition of report_cb/0
, and section Log Message in the User's Guide for more information about report callbacks.
Overload protection configuration.
NoteDEPRECATED: Use logger_handler:olp_config/0
instead.
-type primary_config() :: #{level => level() | all | none, metadata => metadata(), filter_default => log | stop, filters => [{filter_id(), filter()}]}.
Primary configuration data for Logger. The following default values apply:
level => info
filter_default => log
filters => []
A log report.
A fun which converts a report()
to a format string and arguments, or directly to a string.
See section Log Message in the User's Guide for more information.
A timestamp produced with logger:timestamp()
.
Add a handler with the given configuration.
HandlerId
is a unique identifier which must be used in all subsequent calls referring to this handler.
Add a filter to the specified handler.
The filter fun is called with the log event as the first parameter, and the specified filter_args()
as the second parameter.
The return value of the fun specifies if a log event is to be discarded or forwarded to the handler callback:
log_event/0
- The filter passed. The next handler filter, if any, is applied. If no more filters exist for this handler, the log event is forwarded to the handler callback.
stop
- The filter did not pass, and the log event is immediately discarded.
ignore
- The filter has no knowledge of the log event. The next handler filter, if any, is applied. If no more filters exist for this handler, the value of the filter_default
configuration parameter for the handler specifies if the log event shall be discarded or forwarded to the handler callback.
See section Filters in the User's Guide for more information about filters.
Some built-in filters exist. These are defined in logger_filters
.
-spec add_handlers(Application) -> ok | {error, term()} when Application :: atom(); (HandlerConfig) -> ok | {error, term()} when HandlerConfig :: [config_handler()].
Reads the application configuration parameter logger
and calls add_handlers/1
with its contents.
This function should be used by custom Logger handlers to make configuration consistent no matter which handler the system uses. Normal usage is to add a call to logger:add_handlers/1
just after the processes that the handler needs are started, and pass the application's logger
configuration as the argument. For example:
-behaviour(application).
start(_, []) ->
case supervisor:start_link({local, my_sup}, my_sup, []) of
{ok, Pid} ->
ok = logger:add_handlers(my_app),
{ok, Pid, []};
Error -> Error
end.
This reads the logger
configuration parameter from the my_app
application and starts the configured handlers. The contents of the configuration use the same rules as the logger handler configuration.
If the handler is meant to replace the default handler, the Kernel's default handler have to be disabled before the new handler is added. A sys.config
file that disables the Kernel handler and adds a custom handler could look like this:
[{kernel,
[{logger,
%% Disable the default Kernel handler
[{handler, default, undefined}]}]},
{my_app,
[{logger,
%% Enable this handler as the default
[{handler, default, my_handler, #{}}]}]}].
-spec add_primary_filter(FilterId, Filter) -> ok | {error, term()} when FilterId :: filter_id(), Filter :: filter().
Add a primary filter to Logger.
The filter fun is called with the log event as the first parameter, and the specified filter_args()
as the second parameter.
The return value of the fun specifies if a log event is to be discarded or forwarded to the handlers:
log_event/0
- The filter passed. The next primary filter, if any, is applied. If no more primary filters exist, the log event is forwarded to the handler part of Logger, where handler filters are applied.
stop
- The filter did not pass, and the log event is immediately discarded.
ignore
- The filter has no knowledge of the log event. The next primary filter, if any, is applied. If no more primary filters exist, the value of the primary filter_default
configuration parameter specifies if the log event shall be discarded or forwarded to the handler part.
See section Filters in the User's Guide for more information about filters.
Some built-in filters exist. These are defined in logger_filters
.
Look up all current Logger configuration, including primary, handler, and proxy configuration, and module level settings.
Look up the current configuration for all handlers.
Look up the current configuration for the given handler.
Look up the identities for all installed handlers.
-spec get_module_level() -> [{Module, Level}] when Module :: module(), Level :: level() | all | none.

from the handler identified by HandlerId
.
-spec remove_primary_filter(FilterId) -> ok | {error, term()} when FilterId :: filter_id().

from Logger.
-spec set_application_level(Application, Level) -> ok | {error, not_loaded} when Application :: atom(), Level :: level() | all | none.
Set the log level for all the modules of the specified application.
This function is a convenience function that calls logger:set_module_level/2 for each module associated with an application.
Set configuration data for the specified handler. This overwrites the current handler configuration.
To modify the existing configuration, use update_handler_config/2
, or, if a more complex merge is needed, read the current configuration with get_handler_config/1
, then do the merge before writing the new configuration back with this function.
If a key is removed compared to the current configuration, and the key is known by Logger, the default value is used. If it is a custom key, then it is up to the handler implementation if the value is removed or a default value is inserted.
-spec set_handler_config(HandlerId, level, Level) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), Level :: level() | all | none, Return :: ok | {error, term()}; (HandlerId, filter_default, FilterDefault) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), FilterDefault :: log | stop, Return :: ok | {error, term()}; (HandlerId, filters, Filters) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), Filters :: [{filter_id(), filter()}], Return :: ok | {error, term()}; (HandlerId, formatter, Formatter) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), Formatter :: {module(), formatter_config()}, Return :: ok | {error, term()}; (HandlerId, config, Config) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), Config :: term(), Return :: ok | {error, term()}.
Add or update configuration data for the specified handler. If the given Key
already exists, its associated value will be changed to the given value. If it does not exist, it will be added.
If the value is incomplete, which for example can be the case for the config
key, it is up to the handler implementation how the unspecified parts are set. For all handlers in the Kernel application, unspecified data for the config
key is set to default values. To update only specified data, and keep the existing configuration for the rest, use update_handler_config/3
.
See the definition of the logger_handler:config/0
type for more information about the different parameters.
-spec set_module_level(Modules, Level) -> ok | {error, term()} when Modules :: [module()] | module(), Level :: level() | all | none.
Set the log level for the specified modules.
The log level for a module overrides the primary log level of Logger for log events originating from the module in question. Notice, however, that it does not override the level configuration for any handler.
For example: Assume that the primary log level for Logger is info
, and there is one handler, h1
, with level info
and one handler, h2
, with level debug
.
With this configuration, no debug messages will be logged, since they are all stopped by the primary log level.
If the level for mymodule
is now set to debug
, then debug events from this module will be logged by the handler h2
, but not by handler h1
.
Debug events from other modules are still not logged.
To change the primary log level for Logger, use set_primary_config(level, Level)
.
To change the log level for a handler, use set_handler_config(HandlerId, level, Level)
.
The originating module for a log event is only detected if the key mfa
exists in the metadata, and is associated with {Module, Function, Arity}
. When log macros are used, this association is automatically added to all log events. If an API function is called directly, without using a macro, the logging client must explicitly add this information if module levels shall have any effect.
Set primary configuration data for Logger. This overwrites the current configuration.
To modify the existing configuration, use update_primary_config/1
, or, if a more complex merge is needed, read the current configuration with get_primary_config/0
, then do the merge before writing the new configuration back with this function.
If a key is removed compared to the current configuration, the default value is used.
-spec set_primary_config(level, Level) -> ok | {error, term()} when Level :: level() | all | none; (filter_default, FilterDefault) -> ok | {error, term()} when FilterDefault :: log | stop; (filters, Filters) -> ok | {error, term()} when Filters :: [{filter_id(), filter()}]; (metadata, Meta) -> ok | {error, term()} when Meta :: metadata().
Add or update primary configuration data for Logger. If the given Key
already exists, its associated value will be changed to the given value. If it does not exist, it will be added.
The metadata
key was added in OTP 24.0.
-spec set_process_metadata(Meta) -> ok when Meta :: metadata().
Set metadata which Logger shall automatically insert in all log events produced on the current process.
Location data produced by the log macros, and/or metadata given as argument to the log call (API function or macro), are merged with the process metadata. If the same keys occur, values from the metadata argument to the log call overwrite values from the process metadata, which in turn overwrite values from the location data.
Subsequent calls to this function overwrites previous data set. To update existing data instead of overwriting it, see update_process_metadata/1
.
-spec set_proxy_config(Config) -> ok | {error, term()} when Config :: olp_config().
Set configuration data for the Logger proxy. This overwrites the current proxy configuration. Keys that are not specified in the Config
map gets default values.
To modify the existing configuration, use update_proxy_config/1
, or, if a more complex merge is needed, read the current configuration with get_proxy_config/0
, then do the merge before writing the new configuration back with this function.
For more information about the proxy, see section Logger Proxy in the Kernel User's Guide.
-spec unset_application_level(Application) -> ok | {error, {not_loaded, Application}} when Application :: atom().
Unset the log level for all the modules of the specified application.
This function is a utility function that calls logger:unset_module_level/2 for each module associated with an application.
-spec unset_module_level() -> ok.
Remove module specific log settings. After this, the primary log level is used for all modules.
-spec unset_module_level(Modules) -> ok when Modules :: [module()] | module().
Remove module specific log settings. After this, the primary log level is used for the specified modules.
-spec unset_process_metadata() -> ok.
Delete data set with set_process_metadata/1
or update_process_metadata/1
.
Update the formatter configuration for the specified handler.
The new configuration is merged with the existing formatter configuration.
To overwrite the existing configuration without any merge, use
set_handler_config(HandlerId, formatter,
{FormatterModule, FormatterConfig}).
-spec update_formatter_config(HandlerId, Key, Value) -> ok | {error, term()} when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), Key :: atom(), Value :: term().
Equivalent to update_formatter_config(HandlerId, #{Key => Value})
.
Update configuration data for the specified handler. This function behaves as if it was implemented as follows:
{ok, {_, Old}} = logger:get_handler_config(HandlerId),
logger:set_handler_config(HandlerId, maps:merge(Old, Config)).
To overwrite the existing configuration without any merge, use set_handler_config/2
.
-spec update_handler_config(HandlerId, level, Level) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), Level :: level() | all | none, Return :: ok | {error, term()}; (HandlerId, filter_default, FilterDefault) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), FilterDefault :: log | stop, Return :: ok | {error, term()}; (HandlerId, filters, Filters) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), Filters :: [{filter_id(), filter()}], Return :: ok | {error, term()}; (HandlerId, formatter, Formatter) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), Formatter :: {module(), formatter_config()}, Return :: ok | {error, term()}; (HandlerId, config, Config) -> Return when HandlerId :: logger_handler:id(), Config :: term(), Return :: ok | {error, term()}.
Add or update configuration data for the specified handler. If the given Key
already exists, its associated value will be changed to the given value. If it does not exist, it will be added.
If the value is incomplete, which for example can be the case for the config
key, it is up to the handler implementation how the unspecified parts are set. For all handlers in the Kernel application, unspecified data for the config
key is not changed. To reset unspecified data to default values, use set_handler_config/3
.
See the definition of the logger_handler:config/0
type for more information about the different parameters.
-spec update_primary_config(Config) -> ok | {error, term()} when Config :: primary_config().
Update primary configuration data for Logger. This function behaves as if it was implemented as follows:
Old = logger:get_primary_config(),
logger:set_primary_config(maps:merge(Old, Config)).
To overwrite the existing configuration without any merge, use set_primary_config/1
.
-spec update_process_metadata(Meta) -> ok when Meta :: metadata().
Set or update metadata to use when logging from current process
If process metadata exists for the current process, this function behaves as if it was implemented as follows:
logger:set_process_metadata(maps:merge(logger:get_process_metadata(), Meta)).
If no process metadata exists, the function behaves as set_process_metadata/1
.
-spec update_proxy_config(Config) -> ok | {error, term()} when Config :: olp_config().
Update configuration data for the Logger proxy. This function behaves as if it was implemented as follows:
Old = logger:get_proxy_config(),
logger:set_proxy_config(maps:merge(Old, Config)).
To overwrite the existing configuration without any merge, use set_proxy_config/1
.
For more information about the proxy, see section Logger Proxy in the Kernel User's Guide.

Create a log event at the given log level, with the given message to be logged and metadata.
Example:

1> logger:log(info, "Hello World").
%% A plain string with metadata
2> logger:log(debug, "Hello World", #{ meta => data }).
%% A format string with arguments
3> logger:log(warning, "The roof is on ~ts",[Cause]).
%% A report
4> logger:log(warning, #{ what => roof, cause => Cause }).
Equivalent to log(Level, FormatOrFun, Args, #{})
if called as log(Level, FormatOrFun, Args)
.
Create a log event at the given log level, with the given message to be logged and metadata.
The message and metadata can either be given directly in the arguments, or returned from a fun. Passing a fun instead of the message/metadata directly is useful in scenarios when the message/metadata is very expensive to compute. This is because the fun is only evaluated when the message/metadata is actually needed, which may be not at all if the log event is not to be logged. Examples:
%% A plain string with expensive metadata
1> logger:info(fun([]) -> {"Hello World", #{ meta => expensive() }} end,[]).
%% An expensive report
2> logger:debug(fun(What) -> #{ what => What, cause => expensive() } end,roof).
%% A plain string with expensive metadata and normal metadata
3> logger:debug(fun([]) -> {"Hello World", #{ meta => expensive() }} end,[],
#{ meta => data }).
When metadata is given both as an argument and returned from the fun they are merged. If equal keys exists the values are taken from the metadata returned by the fun.

, lt
if Level1
is less severe, and eq
if the levels are equal.
-spec format_report(Report) -> FormatArgs when Report :: report(), FormatArgs :: {io:format(), [term()]}.
Convert a log message on report form to {Format, Args}
. This is the default report callback used by logger_formatter
when no custom report callback is found. See section Log Message in the Kernel User's Guide for information about report callbacks and valid forms of log messages.
The function produces lines of Key: Value
from key-value lists. Strings are printed with ~ts
and other terms with ~tp
.
If Report
is a map, it is converted to a key-value list before formatting as such.
-spec reconfigure() -> ok | {error, term()}.
Reconfigure Logger using updated kernel
configuration that was set after kernel
application was loaded.
Beware, that this is meant to be run only by the build tools, not manually during application lifetime, as this may cause missing log entries.
Before reconfiguration, simple
logger handler is added to capture log events before the logging infrastructure is started and prints them to standard output. After the default
handler is added again, all log events captured by the simple
handler are replayed to the default
handler, and the simple
handler is removed. Notice that if you don't add the default
handler, simple
handler will persist.
Return a timestamp that can be inserted as the time
