+ <h2>Description</h2>
50
+ <h1>Formatters</h1>
51
+ <p>
52
+ Formatters are responsible for formatting LogEvent data. An Outputter
53
+ owning a Formatter will invoke the <a
54
+ href="../../Log4r/Formatter.html#M000007">Log4r::Formatter#format</a>
55
+ method prior to writing.
56
+ </p>
57
+ <h2>Available Formatters</h2>
58
+ <ul>
59
+ <li><a href="../../Log4r/BasicFormatter.html">Log4r::BasicFormatter</a> -
60
+ default
61
+
62
+ </li>
63
+ <li><a href="../../Log4r/PatternFormatter.html">Log4r::PatternFormatter</a> -
64
+ most flexible. See <a
65
+ href="patternformatter_rb.html">log4r/formatter/patternformatter.rb</a>
66
+
67
+ </li>
68
+ <li><a href="../../Log4r/SimpleFormatter.html">Log4r::SimpleFormatter</a> -
69
+ like BasicFormatter for Strings only (low noise)
70
+
71
+ </li>
72
+ <li><a href="../../Log4r/ObjectFormatter.html">Log4r::ObjectFormatter</a> - for
73
+ inspecting objects
74
+
75
+ </li>
76
+ <li>Log4r::NullFormatter - twirls on its feet and does nothing
77
+
78
+ </li>
79
+ </ul>
80
+ <h1>XML Configuration</h1>
81
+ <p>
82
+ Specify the Formatter and its class (as <tt>type</tt>) under an
83
+ <tt>&lt;outputter&gt;</tt> directive:
84
+ </p>
85
+ <pre>
86
+ &lt;outputter name=&quot;someout&quot; type=&quot;sometype&quot;&gt;
87
+ &lt;formatter type=&quot;Log4r::BasicFormatter&quot;/&gt;
88
+ &lt;/outputter&gt;
89
+ </pre>
90
+ <p>
91
+ As explained in <a
92
+ href="../configurator_rb.html">log4r/configurator.rb</a>, the hash
93
+ arguments you would normally pass to <tt>new</tt> are specified as <em>XML
94
+ parameters</em>. Only PatternFormatter has any of these.
95
+ </p>
96
+ <h1>Custom Formatting</h1>
97
+ <p>
98
+ Building a custom Formatter is extremely easy. Just define a class that
99
+ extends Formatter and override the Formatter#format method. Then give it to
100
+ any interested Outputters.
101
+ </p>
102
+ <p>
103
+ If you&#8217;re interested in setting up your custom formatters in XML,
104
+ please take a look at log4r/configurator.rb.

54
+ <h1>PatternFormatter</h1>
55
+ <p>
56
+ PatternFormatter offers complete control over the appearance of <a
57
+ href="../../Log4r.html">Log4r</a> log events without having to write custom
58
+ Formatter classes. In order to take advantage of PatternFormatter, some
59
+ familarity with Kernel#sprintf or the C printf function is recommended. For
60
+ time formatting, please look at Time.strftime.
61
+ </p>
62
+ <p>
63
+ PatternFormatter accepts three hash arguments:
64
+ </p>
65
+ <table>
66
+ <tr><td valign="top"><tt>pattern</tt>:</td><td>Log event format string.
67
+
68
+ </td></tr>
69
+ <tr><td valign="top"><tt>date_pattern</tt>:</td><td>Date format string.
70
+
71
+ </td></tr>
72
+ <tr><td valign="top"><tt>date_method</tt>:</td><td><tt>Time</tt> method to call (instead of using date_pattern).
73
+
74
+ </td></tr>
75
+ </table>
76
+ <p>
77
+ The <tt>pattern</tt> format string is something like &#8220;%l [%d]
78
+ %80M&#8221;, which resembles a pattern one would normally pass to
79
+ Kernel#sprintf. However, the directives are specific to <a
80
+ href="../../Log4r.html">Log4r</a>. Before we go on, let&#8217;s cover some

142

143
+ <dl>
144
+ <dt><b>%d</b></dt><dd>Prints out the date according to our date_pattern or date_method. By
145

152

153
+
154
+ </dd>
155
+ </dl>
156
+ <h2>Pattern String</h2>
157
+ <p>
158
+ A pattern string is simply a bunch of directives combined with the desired
159
+ format. For instance, to show the level in brackets followed by the date
160
+ and then the log message trimmed to 15 characters, we use the following
161
+ pattern:
162
+ </p>
163
+ <pre>
164
+ &quot;[%l] %d :: %.15m&quot; #=&gt; [DEBUG] 2001-01-12 13:15:50 :: This is a messa
165
+ </pre>
166
+ <p>
167
+ To create a PatternFormatter with this format:
168
+ </p>
169
+ <pre>
170
+ p = PatternFormatter.new(:pattern =&gt; &quot;[%l] %d :: %.15m&quot;)
171
+ </pre>
172
+ <h2>Formatting time</h2>
173
+ <p>
174
+ To format time, do one of the following:
175
+ </p>
176
+ <ul>
177
+ <li>Specify a date_pattern
178
+
179
+ </li>
180
+ <li>Specify what class method of Ruby&#8217;s <tt>Time</tt> class to call.
181
+
182
+ </li>
183
+ <li>Use the default format
184
+
185
+ </li>
186
+ </ul>
187
+ <p>
188
+ If neither date_pattern nor date_method is specified, the default date
189
+ format will be used. Currently, that would be ISO8601,
190
+ </p>
191
+ <p>
192
+ The date_pattern is exactly what one would pass to <tt>Time.strftime</tt>.
193
+ To specify a date_pattern, pass
194
+ <tt>:date_pattern=&gt;&quot;pattern&quot;</tt> to PatternFormat.new.
195
+ </p>
196
+ <p>
197
+ Alternatively, date_method can be specified to produce the output of a
198
+ specific <tt>Time</tt> method, such as <tt>usec</tt> or <tt>to_s</tt> or
199
+ any other zero argument <tt>Time</tt> method that produces a time. More
200
+ precisely, the method to call will be invoked on <tt>Time.now</tt>. To
201
+ specify a date_method, pass <tt>:date_method=&gt;'methodname'</tt> (or a
202
+ Symbol equivalent) to <tt>PatternFormatter.new</tt>.
203
+ </p>
204
+ <h1>XML Configuration</h1>
205
+ <p>
206
+ As explained in <a
207
+ href="../configurator_rb.html">log4r/configurator.rb</a>, the hash
208
+ arguments to PatternFormatter are <em>XML parameters</em>. Here&#8217;s an
209
+ example:
210
+ </p>
211
+ <pre>
212
+ &lt;formatter type=&quot;PatternFormatter&quot; pattern=&quot;[%l] %d :: %.15m&quot;&gt;
213
+ &lt;date_method&gt;usec&lt;/date_method&gt;
214
+ &lt;/formatter&gt;
215
+ </pre>
216
+ <h1>Performace considerations</h1>
217
+ <p>
218
+ The performance impact of using a particular directive letter is noted in
219
+ the <b>What the Directives Letters mean</b> section.
220
+ </p>
221
+ <p>
222
+ The performance impact of time formatting merits special attention. If you
223
+ aren&#8217;t aware yet, the Time class is kind of a kludge. Time.now.usec
224
+ happens to be faster than Time.now. If you&#8217;re concerned about
225
+ performance, please profile the various time methods and patterns.
226
+ </p>
