Consider using __attribute__(format) or SA_FormatString to get some compile time checking for the format strings.

@jww: What do you mean by Audit log? The way I see it that is what syslog is for. 6 Informational. And it provides standard consistent logging that has numerous tools that do everything you want with the log files. logstash being my current favorite. Which centralizes log files and indexes them.

The other levels pretty much allow debugging in the field. I'll hold my opinions on debugging in the field, but I will say: debug your warez before its provided to customers and unsuspecting users. | |

I'm not actually familiar with syslog, but I'll have a look at it to see what I can learn from it.

| Sep 13, 2014 at 17:37 | comment | added | Loki Astari | Please do not reinvent features that are done so well already. Everybody tries to do this and everybody does it so badly. I you want to write a C++ logger it should be a wrapper around syslog. That thing (syslog) does so much more than you can imagine and so much better than any other user written implementation. It also standardizes a lot of factors about log files so a maintainer does not need to search for them of figure out how to filter/sort/organize/retain/compress/centraliz them (as tools already exist) which your specific implementation does not provide. | |
