C++ logging framework suggestions [closed]

Question

I'm looking for a C++ logging framework with the following features:

• logs have a severity (info, warning, error, critical, etc)
• logs are tagged with a module name
• framework has a UI (or CLI) to configure for which modules we will actually log to file, and the minimum severity required for a log to be written to file.
• has a viewer which lets me search per module, severity, module name, error name, etc

Answer 1

Not sure about the configuration from a UI or CLI. I've used both of these logging frameworks at one point or other.

It wouldn't be too hard to drive your logging based on a configuration file that could be editable by hand or through a quick and dirty GUI or CLI app. Might be a bit harder to adjust these dynamically but not too bad.

Update:

It looks like the proposed Boost.Log is now in Boost 1.54 which is at a stable release. If you are already using Boost than I would take a look at it.

Answer 2

No viewer but you could try pantheios. I have been using it for almost a year now and am quite happy with it.
