Logging

Log handlers

In order to enable logging, application needs to instantiate at least one log handler. If necessary, several different log handlers can be instantiated at the same time.

// EXAMPLE - enabling multiple log handlers

SerialLogHandler logHandler1;
Serial1LogHandler logHandler2(57600); // Baud rate

void setup() {
    Log.info("This is info message"); // Processed by all handlers
}

void loop() {
}

The library provides the following log handlers:

  • SerialLogHandler
  • Additional community-supported log handlers can be found further below.

  • filters : category filters (not specified by default)
