Interface Logger

@ThreadSafe public interface Logger
A Logger is the entry point into a log pipeline.

Obtain a logRecordBuilder(), add properties using the setters, and emit it via LogRecordBuilder.emit().

The OpenTelemetry logs bridge API exists to enable bridging logs from other log frameworks (e.g. SLF4J, Log4j, JUL, Logback, etc) into OpenTelemetry and is NOT a replacement log API.

Since:
1.27.0

    • logRecordBuilder

      LogRecordBuilder logRecordBuilder()
      Return a LogRecordBuilder to emit a log record.

      IMPORTANT: this should be used to write appenders to bridge logs from logging frameworks (e.g. SLF4J, Log4j, JUL, Logback, etc). It is NOT a replacement for an application logging framework, and should not be used by application developers.

      Build the log record using the LogRecordBuilder setters, and emit via LogRecordBuilder.emit().
