Enumeration Type Documentation

NDDS_Config_LogVerbosity

enum NDDS_Config_LogVerbosity

The verbosities at which RTI Connext diagnostic information is logged.

Enumerator
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_SILENT	No further output will be logged.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_ERROR	Only error and fatal error messages will be logged. An error indicates something wrong in the functioning of RTI Connext. The most common cause of errors is incorrect configuration.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_WARNING	Both error and warning messages will be logged. A warning indicates that RTI Connext is taking an action that may or may not be what you intended. Some configuration information is also logged at this verbosity to aid in debugging.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_STATUS_LOCAL	Errors, warnings, and verbose information about the lifecycles of local RTI Connext objects will be logged.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_STATUS_REMOTE	Errors, warnings, and verbose information about the lifecycles of remote RTI Connext objects will be logged.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_STATUS_ALL	Errors, warnings, verbose information about the lifecycles of local and remote RTI Connext objects, and periodic information about RTI Connext threads will be logged.

NDDS_Config_LogLevel

enum NDDS_Config_LogLevel

Level category assigned to RTI Connext log messages returned to an output device.

Enumerator
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL_ERROR	The message describes a fatal error. A fatal error indicates an unrecoverable situation in the functioning of RTI Connext. Error messages with this log level usually indicate a violation of an internal invariant or a segfault, and may include the function call stack where the fatal error happened.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR	The message describes an error. An error indicates a non-fatal problem in the functioning of RTI Connext. Errors are usually recoverable and will not stop application execution, although they may prevent some features from working properly. The most common cause of non-fatal errors is incorrect configuration and incorrect arguments.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING	The message describes a warning. A warning indicates that RTI Connext is taking an action that may or may not be what you intended. Some configuration information is also logged at this verbosity to aid in debugging.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_STATUS_LOCAL	The message contains information about the lifecycles of local RTI Connext objects will be logged.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_STATUS_REMOTE	The message contains information about the lifecycles of remote RTI Connext objects will be logged.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG	The message contains debug information that might be relevant to your application.

NDDS_Config_SyslogLevel

enum NDDS_Config_SyslogLevel

Syslog level category assigned to RTI Connext log messages. See Syslog Level and Verbosity Mapping, in the Core Libraries User's Manual, for more information.

Enumerator
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_LEVEL_EMERGENCY	System is unusable. Maps to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL_ERROR.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_LEVEL_ALERT	Should be corrected immediately. Maps to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL	Critical conditions. Maps to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_LEVEL_ERROR	Error conditions. Maps to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_LEVEL_WARNING	May indicate that an error will occur if action is not taken. Maps to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_LEVEL_NOTICE	Events that are unusual, but not error conditions. Maps to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_STATUS_LOCAL.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_LEVEL_INFORMATIONAL	Normal operational messages that require no action. Maps to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_STATUS_LOCAL.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_LEVEL_DEBUG	Information useful to developers for debugging the application. Maps to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG.

NDDS_Config_LogCategory

enum NDDS_Config_LogCategory

Categories of logged messages.

The NDDS_Config_Logger_get_verbosity_by_category and NDDS_Config_Logger_set_verbosity_by_category can be used to specify different verbosities for different categories of messages.

Enumerator
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_CATEGORY_PLATFORM	Log messages pertaining to the underlying platform (hardware and OS) on which RTI Connext is running are in this category.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_CATEGORY_COMMUNICATION	Log messages pertaining to data serialization and deserialization and network traffic are in this category.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_CATEGORY_DATABASE	Log messages pertaining to the internal database in which RTI Connext objects are stored are in this category.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_CATEGORY_ENTITIES	Log messages pertaining to local and remote entities, and to a subset of the discovery process, are in this category. (To see all discovery-related messages, use the DISCOVERY category.)
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_CATEGORY_API	Log messages pertaining to the API layer of RTI Connext (such as function argument validation) are in this category.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_CATEGORY_DISCOVERY	Log messages pertaining to discovery are in this category.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_CATEGORY_SECURITY	Log messages pertaining to security are in this category. These messages include any messages logged by RTI Connext components even if they are not related to the Security Plugins.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_CATEGORY_USER	Log messages that are generated by the user using the following log APIs: NDDS_Config_Logger_emergency, NDDS_Config_Logger_alert, NDDS_Config_Logger_critical, NDDS_Config_Logger_error, NDDS_Config_Logger_warning, NDDS_Config_Logger_notice, NDDS_Config_Logger_informational, NDDS_Config_Logger_debug.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_CATEGORY_ALL	Log messages pertaining to all categories in RTI Connext.

NDDS_Config_LogPrintFormat

enum NDDS_Config_LogPrintFormat

The format used to output RTI Connext diagnostic information.

Enumerator
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_PRINT_FORMAT_DEFAULT	(default) Print message, method name, log level, Activity Context (what was happening when the event occurred), and logging category.
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_PRINT_FORMAT_TIMESTAMPED	Print message, method name, log level, Activity Context, logging category, and timestamp.

NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_PRINT_FORMAT_MAXIMAL	Print all available fields.

NDDS_Config_LogFacility

enum NDDS_Config_LogFacility

A number that identifies the source of a log message.

In the Syslog Protocol, the Facility is a numerical code that represents the machine process that created a Syslog event. RTI Connext uses the facility to represent the source of a given log message.

Enumerator
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_FACILITY_USER	A log message produced by the APIs that log user messages in NDDS_Config_Logger (e.g, NDDS_Config_Logger_emergency). Numerical code: 1
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_FACILITY_SECURITY_EVENT	A security-related message logged by the RTI Security Plugins Logging Plugin. Numerical code: 10
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_FACILITY_SERVICE	A log message produced by an Infrastructure Service, such as Routing Service. Infrastructure Services operate using the Core Libraries. The messages that the Core Libraries create are categorized under the MIDDLEWARE facility. Log messages that are directly generated by the Infrastructure Service itself are marked with the SERVICE facility. Numerical code: 22
NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_FACILITY_MIDDLEWARE	A log message produced by RTI Connext Core Libraries. Numerical code: 23

NDDS_Config_SyslogVerbosity

enum NDDS_Config_SyslogVerbosity

The Syslog verbosities at which RTI Connext diagnostic information is logged. These Syslog verbosities are mapped to NDDS_Config_LogVerbosity. See Syslog Level and Verbosity Mapping, in the Core Libraries User's Manual, for more information.

Enumerator
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_VERBOSITY_SILENT	No messages will be logged. (lowest verbosity) Equivalent to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_SILENT.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_VERBOSITY_EMERGENCY	Emergency, critical, alert, and error messages will be logged. This Syslog verbosity level is translated to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_ERROR when interpreted by RTI Connext. (That's why this level actually logs more than just emergency messages.)
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_VERBOSITY_ALERT	Emergency, critical, and alert messages will be logged. This Syslog verbosity level is translated to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_ERROR when interpreted by RTI Connext. (That's why this level actually logs more than just emergency, critical and alert messages.)
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_VERBOSITY_CRITICAL	Emergency, critical, alert, and error messages will be logged. This Syslog verbosity level is translated to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_ERROR when interpreted by RTI Connext. (That's why this level actually logs more than just emergency and critical messages.)
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_VERBOSITY_ERROR	Emergency, critical, alert, and error messages will be logged. This Syslog verbosity level is translated to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_ERROR when interpreted by RTI Connext.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_VERBOSITY_WARNING	Emergency, critical, alert, error, and warning messages will be logged. This Syslog verbosity level is translated to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_WARNING when interpreted by RTI Connext.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_VERBOSITY_NOTICE	Emergency, critical, alert, error, warning, notice and informational messages will be logged. This Syslog verbosity level is translated to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_STATUS_REMOTE when interpreted by RTI Connext. (That's why this level actually logs more than just emergency, critical, alert, error, warning and notice messages.)
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_VERBOSITY_INFORMATIONAL	Emergency, critical, alert, error, warning, notice, and informational messages will be logged. This Syslog verbosity level is translated to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_STATUS_REMOTE when interpreted by RTI Connext.
NDDS_CONFIG_SYSLOG_VERBOSITY_DEBUG	All messages will be logged. This Syslog verbosity level is translated to NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_STATUS_ALL when interpreted by RTI Connext.

NDDS_Config_Logger * NDDS_Config_Logger_get_instanceI

(

void

)

Get the singleton instance of this type.

MT Safety:

UNSAFE. In VxWorks, it is unsafe to call this function while another thread may be simultaneously calling DDS_DomainParticipantFactory_get_instance, DDS_DomainParticipantFactory_finalize_instance, DDS_TypeCodeFactory_get_instance, DDS_GuardCondition_new, DDS_WaitSet_new, DDS_WaitSet_new_ex, DDS_GuardCondition_delete, DDS_WaitSet_delete, NDDS_Config_Logger_get_instance, NDDS_Config_Logger_get_output_device, NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_device, DDS_TypeCodeFactory_finalize_instance, NDDS_Utility_enable_network_capture, or NDDS_Utility_disable_network_capture.

NDDS_Config_Logger_get_verbosity()

NDDS_Config_LogVerbosity NDDS_Config_Logger_get_verbosity

(

const NDDS_Config_Logger *

self

)

Get the verbosity at which RTI Connext is currently logging diagnostic information.

The default verbosity if NDDS_Config_Logger_set_verbosity is never called is NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_ERROR.

If NDDS_Config_Logger_set_verbosity_by_category has been used to set different verbosities for different categories of messages, this function will return the maximum verbosity of all categories.

NDDS_Config_Logger_get_verbosity_by_category()

NDDS_Config_LogVerbosity NDDS_Config_Logger_get_verbosity_by_category	(	const NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		NDDS_Config_LogCategory	category
	)

Get the verbosity at which RTI Connext is currently logging diagnostic information in the given category.

The default verbosity if NDDS_Config_Logger_set_verbosity and NDDS_Config_Logger_set_verbosity_by_category are never called is NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_ERROR.

NDDS_Config_Logger_set_verbosity()

void NDDS_Config_Logger_set_verbosity	(	NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		NDDS_Config_LogVerbosity	verbosity
	)

Set the verbosity at which RTI Connext will log diagnostic information.

Note: Logging at high verbosities will be detrimental to your application's performance. Your default setting should typically remain at NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_WARNING or below. (The default verbosity if you never set it is NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_VERBOSITY_ERROR.)

NDDS_Config_Logger_set_verbosity_by_category()

void NDDS_Config_Logger_set_verbosity_by_category	(	NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		NDDS_Config_LogCategory	category,
		NDDS_Config_LogVerbosity	verbosity
	)

Set the verbosity at which RTI Connext will log diagnostic information in the given category.

NDDS_Config_Logger_get_output_file()

FILE * NDDS_Config_Logger_get_output_file

(

NDDS_Config_Logger *

self

)

Get the file to which the logged output is redirected.

If no output file has been registered through NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file, this function will return NULL. In this case, logged output will on most platforms go to standard out as if through printf.

NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file()

DDS_Boolean NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file	(	NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		FILE *	out
	)

Set the file to which the logged output is redirected.

The file passed may be NULL, in which case further logged output will be redirected to the platform-specific default output location (standard out on most platforms).

For better performance when log messages are generated frequently, the log messages are not flushed into a file immediately after they are generated. In other words, while writing a log message, RTI Connext only calls the function fwrite() (see https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/fwrite.html); it does not call the function fflush() (see https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/fflush.html). If your application requires a different flushing behavior, you may use NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_device to configure a custom logging device.

NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file_name()

DDS_Boolean NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file_name	(	NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		const char *	file_name
	)

Set the name of the file to which the logged output is redirected.

The name may be NULL, in which case further logged output will be redirected to the platform-specific default output location (standard out on most platforms).

See NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file for the flushing behavior.

NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file_set()

DDS_Boolean NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file_set	(	NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		const char *	file_preffix,
		const char *	file_suffix,
		int	max_capacity,
		int	max_files
	)

Configure a set of files to redirect the logged output.

The logged output will be redirected to a set of files whose names are configured with a prefix and a suffix. The maximum number of bytes configures how many bytes to write into a file before opening the next file. After reaching the maximum number of files, the first one is overwritten.

For example, if the prefix is 'Foo', the suffix is '.txt', the max number of bytes is 1GB, and the max number of files is 3, the logger will create (at most) these files: Foo1.txt, Foo2.txt, and Foo3.txt. It will write to Foo1.txt, and after writing 1GB, it will move on to Foo2.txt, then to Foo3.txt, then to Foo1.txt again, and so on.

To stop logging to these files and redirect the output to the platform-specific location, pass NULL, NULL, 0, 0.

See NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file for the flushing behavior.

NDDS_Config_Logger_get_print_format()

NDDS_Config_LogPrintFormat NDDS_Config_Logger_get_print_format

(

const NDDS_Config_Logger *

self

)

Get the current message format for the log level NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR.

Use NDDS_Config_Logger_get_print_format_by_log_level to retrieve the format for other log levels.

If NDDS_Config_Logger_set_print_format is never called, the default format is NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_PRINT_FORMAT_DEFAULT.

NDDS_Config_Logger_get_print_format_by_log_level()

NDDS_Config_LogPrintFormat NDDS_Config_Logger_get_print_format_by_log_level	(	const NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		NDDS_Config_LogLevel	log_level
	)

Get the current message format, by log level, that RTI Connext is using to log diagnostic information.

If NDDS_Config_Logger_set_print_format is never called, the default format is NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_PRINT_FORMAT_DEFAULT.

NDDS_Config_Logger_set_print_format()

DDS_Boolean NDDS_Config_Logger_set_print_format	(	NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		NDDS_Config_LogPrintFormat	print_format
	)

Set the message format that RTI Connext will use to log diagnostic information for all the log levels, except for NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL_ERROR. When the Activity Context is printed, the user can select the information that will be part of the Activity Context by using the API NDDS_Config_ActivityContext_set_attribute_mask.

Set print mask for all the log levels, except for (RTI_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL_ERROR).

NDDS_Config_Logger_set_print_format_by_log_level()

DDS_Boolean NDDS_Config_Logger_set_print_format_by_log_level	(	NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		NDDS_Config_LogPrintFormat	print_format,

Registered user device or NULL if no user device is registered.

NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_device()

DDS_Boolean NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_device	(	NDDS_Config_Logger *	self,
		struct NDDS_Config_LoggerDevice *	device
	)

Register a NDDS_Config_LoggerDevice.

Register the specified logging device with the logger.

There can be at most only one device registered with the logger at any given time.

When a device is installed, the logger will stop sending the log messages to the standard output and to the file set with NDDS_Config_Logger_set_output_file.

To remove an existing device, use this function with NULL as the device parameter. After a device is removed the logger will continue sending log messages to the standard output and to the output file.

To replace an existing device with a new device, use this function providing the new device as the device parameter.

When a device is unregistered (by setting it to NULL), NDDS_Config_LoggerDevice calls the function NDDS_Config_LoggerDevice::close.
