Log to separate log files using tinyLog

[msingh-ms]

I'm working on a project with multiple modules for end user and logs for different modules must be logged to separate log files. Is it possible to achieve this using tinyLog?

For example, logs for creating a new user in the project must go to newuser.log

and logs for deleting an existing user in the project must go to deleteuser.log

You can use tagged loggers to archive this:

TaggedLogger newUserLogger = Logger.tag("NEWUSER");
TaggedLogger deleteUserLogger = Logger.tag("DELETEUSER");

Then you can bind your file writers to these tags:

writer1      = file
writer1.tag  = NEWUSER
writer1.file = newuser.log

writer2      = file
writer2.tag  = DELETEUSER
writer2.file = deleteuser.log

Documentation about tags:

Thank you so much!

Asking another question here as its related, is it possible to add another writer after first Log has been written and config has been frozen?

Something like:

    Configuration.set("writer", "rolling file");
    Configuration.set("writer.file", "log.txt");
    Configuration.set("writer.tag", "log");
    Configuration.set("writer.append", "true");
    Configuration.set("writer.policies", "daily");
    Logger.tag("log").info("Hello world!");
    Map configUpdate = new HashMap();
    configUpdate.put("writer1", "rolling file");
    configUpdate.put("writer1.file", "log1.txt");
    configUpdate.put("writer1.tag", "log1");
    configUpdate.put("writer1.append", "true");
    configUpdate.put("writer1.policies", "daily");
    ReconfigurableLoggingProvider.reload(configUpdate);
    Logger.tag("log1").info("Hello world 1!");
    Logger.tag("log").info("Hello world again!");

Basically, I'm looking for a thread safe approach as logging to existing writers may be in progress while configuration is being updated using CustomLoggingProvider
