Detailed Description

This class contains RTI Distributed Logger singleton and the methods to configure and use it.

This class is a singleton, so only one copy will be created. Use the RTI_DLOptions class to customize the singleton BEFORE creating it.

Member Function Documentation

static RTI_DLDistLogger* RTI_DLDistLogger::getInstance ( )

static

Provides access to the RTI_DL_DistLogger singleton.

This method provides access to the singleton instance of the RTI_DL_DistLogger. If the instance does not exist, it will be created. Note that no change in options is allowed after the singleton is created.

Returns: The singleton instance of the RTI_DL_DistLogger.

DDS_ReturnCode_t RTI_DLDistLogger::setFilterLevel ( DDS_Long newLevel )

Sets the filter level for the singleton.

Filtering controls what type of log messages are sent. This enables filtering on the sending side (in the application using Distributed Logger). You can also enable filtering on the receiving side (such as in a tool that receives log messages, like RTI Admin Console or RTI Monitor).

Supported Filter Levels: See the IDL file provided with Distributed Logger (file: <RTI Connext Installation Folder>/resource/idl/distlog.idl).). The default value is RTI_DL_INFO_LEVEL.

In the IDL file, there are language-specific bindings. Prepend the appropriate binding to the filter level shown in the IDL. For example, one of the filter levels in the IDL is INFO_LEVEL. To refer to this filter level in C++, use RTI_DL_INFO_LEVEL.

Log messages up to and including the specified filter level will pass through the filter and be sent on the network. For example, the WARNING level allows log messages up to and including the WARNING level (FATAL, SEVERE, ERROR, and WARNING) to be sent; any other log messages with numerically higher filter levels (INFO, DEBUG, and TRACE) will be filtered out and not sent.

Parameters

[in] newLevel The new filter level.

Returns: Error code. DDS_RETCODE_OK if everything goes as planned.

The following table shows how RTI Connext DDS log levels map to RTI Distributed Logger log filter levels.

Not all RTI Distributed Logger levels appear in this table because there is not a one-to-one mapping between RTI Connext DDS and RTI Distributed Logger levels (there are more levels in RTI Distributed Logger).

*Filter Levels*
Connext DDS	Distributed Logger
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR	RTI_DL_ERROR_LEVEL
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING	RTI_DL_WARNING_LEVEL
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_STATUS_LOCAL	RTI_DL_NOTICE_LEVEL
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_STATUS_REMOTE	RTI_DL_INFO_LEVEL
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG	RTI_DL_DEBUG_LEVEL

static bool RTI_DLDistLogger::setOptions ( RTI_DLOptions & options )

static

Assigns configurable options to RTI Distributed Logger before its creation.

Assigns the values in the options to the RTI_DLDistLogger singleton before its creation. If the singleton was already created, this function has no effect.

Parameters

[in] options The new options to be assigned to the RTI_DLDistLogger singleton.

Precondition: The singleton must be NULL.

Returns: RTI_TRUE if everything went as planned. RTI_FALSE if RTI Distributed Logger already existed.

bool RTI_DLDistLogger::setRTILoggerPrintFormat ( NDDS_Config_LogPrintFormat logPrintFormat )

Sets PrintFormat of RTI Logger to the provided value.

This method is mostly a pass-through to the appropriate call in RTI DDS library, but it also has the benefit of keeping the state of RTI Logger and RTI Distributed Logger in sync.

Parameters

[in] logPrintFormat The new PrintFormat.

Returns: RTI_TRUE if everything went as planned.

void RTI_DLDistLogger::setRTILoggerVerbosityByCategory	(	NDDS_Config_LogCategory	category,
		NDDS_Config_LogVerbosity	verbosity
	)

Updates the LogCategory and the LogVerbosity in RTI Logger to the provided value.

This method is mostly a pass-through to the appropriate call in RTI DDS library, but it also has the benefit of keeping the state of RTI Logger and RTI Distributed Logger in sync.

Parameters

[in]	category	The category for which to set the verbosity.
[in]	verbosity	The new verbosity level for the category.

void RTI_DLDistLogger::logMessageWithLevelCategory	(	int	logLevel,
		const char *	message,
		const char *	category
	)

Logs a message at the specified level and with the specified category.

Parameters

[in]	logLevel	The level of the log message.
[in]	message	The message to log.
[in]	category	The category of the log message.

void RTI_DLDistLogger::logMessageWithParams ( const struct RTI_DL_DistLogger_MessageParams & params )

Performs the same function as logMessageWithLevelCategory except that it also allows specification of the message timestamp.

Parameters

[in] params Parameters.

void RTI_DLDistLogger::fatal ( const char * message )

Logs a fatal message.

The message received is logged using the default category and the RTI_DL_FATAL_LEVEL log level.

Parameters
