mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *
mongoc_structured_log_opts_new (void);

Creates a new mongoc_structured_log_opts_t, filled with defaults captured from the current environment.

Sets a default log handler which would write a text representation of each log message to stderr, stdout, or another file configurable using MONGODB_LOG_PATH. This setting has no effect if the default handler is replaced using mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_handler().

Environment variable errors are non-fatal, and result in one-time warnings delivered as an unstructured log.

Per-component maximum levels are initialized equivalently to:

mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_all_components(opts, MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING);
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env(opts);

This is a full list of the captured environment variables.

• MONGODB_LOG_MAX_DOCUMENT_LENGTH: Maximum length for JSON-serialized documents that appear within a log message. It may be a number, in bytes, or unlimited (case insensitive) to choose an implementation-specific value near the maximum representable length. By default, the limit is 1000 bytes. This limit affects interior documents like commands and replies, not the total length of a structured log message.

• MONGODB_LOG_PATH: A file path or one of the special strings stderr or stdout (case insensitive) specifying the destination for structured logs seen by the default handler. By default, it writes to stderr. This path will be captured during mongoc_structured_log_opts_new(), but it will not immediately be opened. If the file can't be opened, a warning is then written to the unstructured log and the handler writes structured logs to stderr instead.

  WARNING:

  When a file path is given for MONGODB_LOG_PATH, each log instance (one stand-alone client or pool) will separately open this file for append. The results are operating system specific. On UNIX-like platforms each instance's output will be interleaved, in most cases without splitting individual log messages. Notably on Windows the file will be opened in exclusive mode by the first instance and subsequent instances will fail, falling back on the default of stderr. Applications that use multiple processes or multiple client pools will likely want to supply a log handler that annotates each message with information about its originating log instance.

• MONGODB_LOG_COMMAND: A log level name to set as the maximum for MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_COMPONENT_COMMAND.
• MONGODB_LOG_TOPOLOGY: A log level name to set as the maximum for MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_COMPONENT_TOPOLOGY.
• MONGODB_LOG_SERVER_SELECTION: A log level name to set as the maximum for MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_COMPONENT_SERVER_SELECTION.
• MONGODB_LOG_CONNECTION: A log level name to set as the maximum for MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_COMPONENT_CONNECTION.
• MONGODB_LOG_ALL: A log level name applied to all components not otherwise specified.

Note that log level names are always case insensitive. This is a full list of recognized names, including allowed aliases:

• emergency, off
• alert
• critical
• error
• warning, warn
• notice
• informational, info
• debug
• trace

A newly allocated mongoc_structured_log_opts_t.

void
mongoc_structured_log_opts_destroy (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts);

• opts: Pointer to a mongoc_structured_log_opts_t allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new(), or NULL.

This function releases all resources associated with a mongoc_structured_log_opts_t. Does nothing if opts is NULL.

void
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_handler (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts,
                                        mongoc_structured_log_func_t log_func,
                                        void *user_data);

Sets the function to be called to handle structured log messages, as a mongoc_structured_log_func_t.

The callback is given a mongoc_structured_log_entry_t as a handle for obtaining additional information about the log message. This entry pointer is only valid during a callback, because it's a low cost reference to temporary data.

Structured log handlers must be thread-safe if they will be used with mongoc_client_pool_t. Handlers must avoid unbounded recursion, preferably by avoiding the use of any libmongoc client or pool which uses the same handler.

This function always replaces the default log handler from mongoc_structured_log_opts_new(), if it was still set. If the log_func is set to NULL, structured logging will be disabled.

• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new().
• log_func: The handler to install, a mongoc_structured_log_func_t, or NULL to disable structured logging.
• user_data: Optional user data, passed on to the handler.

Sets the maximum log level per-component. Only log messages at or below this severity level will be passed to mongoc_structured_log_func_t.

By default, each component's log level may come from environment variables. See mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env().

• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new().
• component: The component to set a max log level. for, as a mongoc_structured_log_component_t.
• level: The new max log level for this component, as a mongoc_structured_log_level_t.

Returns true on success, or false if the supplied parameters were incorrect.

Sets all per-component maximum log levels to the same value. Only log messages at or below this severity level will be passed to mongoc_structured_log_func_t. Effective even for logging components not known at compile-time.

• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new().
• level: The max log level for all components, as a mongoc_structured_log_level_t.

Returns true on success, or false if the supplied parameters were incorrect.

bool
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts);

Sets any maximum log levels requested by environment variables: MONGODB_LOG_ALL for all components, followed by per-component log levels MONGODB_LOG_COMMAND, MONGODB_LOG_CONNECTION, MONGODB_LOG_TOPOLOGY, and MONGODB_LOG_SERVER_SELECTION.

Expects the value to be recognizable by mongoc_structured_log_get_named_level(). Parse errors may cause a warning message, delivered via unstructured logging.

Component levels with no valid environment variable setting will be left unmodified.

This happens automatically when mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() establishes defaults. Any subsequent programmatic modifications to the mongoc_structured_log_opts_t will override the environment variable settings. For applications that desire the opposite behavior, where environment variables may override programmatic settings, they may call mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env() after calling mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_component() and mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_all_components(). This will process the environment a second time, allowing it to override customized defaults.

Returns true on success. If warnings are encountered in the environment, returns false and may log additional information to the unstructured logging facility. Note that, by design, these errors are by default non-fatal. When mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() internally calls this function, it ignores the return value.

• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new().
• component: Log component as a mongoc_structured_log_component_t.

Returns the configured maximum log level for a specific component, as a mongoc_structured_log_level_t. This may be the last value set with mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_component() or mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_all_components(), or it may be the default obtained from environment variables. If an invalid or unknown component enum is given, returns the lowest log level.

                                                    size_t max_document_length);

Sets a maximum length for BSON documents that appear serialized in JSON form as part of a structured log message.

Serialized JSON will be truncated at this limit, interpreted as a count of UTF-8 encoded bytes. Truncation will be indicated with a ... suffix, the length of which is not included in the max document length. If truncation at the exact indicated length would split a valid UTF-8 sequence, we instead truncate the document earlier at the nearest boundary between code points.

• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new().
• max_document_length: Maximum length for each embedded JSON document, in bytes, not including an ellipsis (...) added to indicate truncation. Values near or above INT_MAX will be rejected.

Returns true on success, or false if the supplied maximum length is too large.

Sets a maximum document length from the MONGODB_LOG_MAX_DOCUMENT_LENGTH environment variable, if a valid setting is found. See mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() for a description of the supported environment variable formats.

Parse errors may cause a warning message, delivered via unstructured logging.

Returns true on success: either a valid environment setting was found, or the value is unset and opts will not be modified. If warnings are encountered in the environment, returns false and may log additional information to the unstructured logging facility. Note that, by design, these errors are by default non-fatal.
