lib.rs

1//! Utilities for implementing and composing [`tracing`] subscribers.
2//!
3//! [`tracing`] is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
4//! scoped, structured, and async-aware diagnostics. The [`Subscriber`] trait
5//! represents the functionality necessary to collect this trace data. This
6//! crate contains tools for composing subscribers out of smaller units of
7//! behaviour, and batteries-included implementations of common subscriber
8//! functionality.
9//!
10//! `tracing-subscriber` is intended for use by both `Subscriber` authors and
11//! application authors using `tracing` to instrument their applications.
12//!
13//! *Compiler support: [requires `rustc` 1.63+][msrv]*
14//!

16//!
17//! ## `Layer`s and `Filter`s
18//!
19//! The most important component of the `tracing-subscriber` API is the
20//! [`Layer`] trait, which provides a composable abstraction for building
21//! [`Subscriber`]s. Like the [`Subscriber`] trait, a [`Layer`] defines a
22//! particular behavior for collecting trace data. Unlike [`Subscriber`]s,
23//! which implement a *complete* strategy for how trace data is collected,
24//! [`Layer`]s provide *modular* implementations of specific behaviors.
25//! Therefore, they can be [composed together] to form a [`Subscriber`] which is
26//! capable of recording traces in a variety of ways. See the [`layer` module's
27//! documentation][layer] for details on using [`Layer`]s.
28//!
29//! In addition, the [`Filter`] trait defines an interface for filtering what
30//! spans and events are recorded by a particular layer. This allows different
31//! [`Layer`]s to handle separate subsets of the trace data emitted by a
32//! program. See the [documentation on per-layer filtering][plf] for more
33//! information on using [`Filter`]s.

40//!
41//! ## Included Subscribers
42//!
43//! The following `Subscriber`s are provided for application authors:
44//!
45//! - [`fmt`] - Formats and logs tracing data (requires the `fmt` feature flag)
46//!
47//! ## Feature Flags
48//!
49//! - `std`: Enables APIs that depend on the Rust standard library
50//!   (enabled by default).
51//! - `alloc`: Depend on [`liballoc`] (enabled by "std").
52//! - `env-filter`: Enables the [`EnvFilter`] type, which implements filtering
53//!   similar to the [`env_logger` crate]. **Requires "std"**.
54//! - `fmt`: Enables the [`fmt`] module, which provides a subscriber
55//!   implementation for printing formatted representations of trace events.
56//!   Enabled by default. **Requires "registry" and "std"**.
57//! - `ansi`: Enables `fmt` support for ANSI terminal colors. Enabled by
58//!   default.
59//! - `registry`: enables the [`registry`] module. Enabled by default.
60//!   **Requires "std"**.
61//! - `json`: Enables `fmt` support for JSON output. In JSON output, the ANSI
62//!   feature does nothing. **Requires "fmt" and "std"**.
63//! - `local-time`: Enables local time formatting when using the [`time`
64//!   crate]'s timestamp formatters with the `fmt` subscriber.
65//!
66//! [`registry`]: mod@registry
67//!
68//! ### Optional Dependencies
69//!
70//! - [`tracing-log`]: Enables better formatting for events emitted by `log`
71//!   macros in the `fmt` subscriber. Enabled by default.
72//! - [`time`][`time` crate]: Enables support for using the [`time` crate] for timestamp
73//!   formatting in the `fmt` subscriber.
74//! - [`smallvec`]: Causes the `EnvFilter` type to use the `smallvec` crate (rather
75//!   than `Vec`) as a performance optimization. Enabled by default.
76//! - [`parking_lot`]: Use the `parking_lot` crate's `RwLock` implementation
77//!   rather than the Rust standard library's implementation.
78//!
79//! ### `no_std` Support
80//!
81//! In embedded systems and other bare-metal applications, `tracing` can be
82//! used without requiring the Rust standard library, although some features are
83//! disabled. Although most of the APIs provided by `tracing-subscriber`, such
84//! as [`fmt`] and [`EnvFilter`], require the standard library, some
85//! functionality, such as the [`Layer`] trait, can still be used in
86//! `no_std` environments.
87//!
88//! The dependency on the standard library is controlled by two crate feature
89//! flags, "std", which enables the dependency on [`libstd`], and "alloc", which
90//! enables the dependency on [`liballoc`] (and is enabled by the "std"
91//! feature). These features are enabled by default, but `no_std` users can
92//! disable them using:
93//!
94//! ```toml
95//! # Cargo.toml
96//! tracing-subscriber = { version = "0.3", default-features = false }
97//! ```
98//!
99//! Additional APIs are available when [`liballoc`] is available. To enable
100//! `liballoc` but not `std`, use:
101//!
102//! ```toml
103//! # Cargo.toml
104//! tracing-subscriber = { version = "0.3", default-features = false, features = ["alloc"] }
105//! ```
106//!
107//! ### Unstable Features
108//!
109//! These feature flags enable **unstable** features. The public API may break in 0.1.x
110//! releases. To enable these features, the `--cfg tracing_unstable` must be passed to
111//! `rustc` when compiling.
112//!
113//! The following unstable feature flags are currently available:
114//!
115//! * `valuable`: Enables support for serializing values recorded using the
116//!   [`valuable`] crate as structured JSON in the [`format::Json`] formatter.
117//!
118//! #### Enabling Unstable Features
119//!
120//! The easiest way to set the `tracing_unstable` cfg is to use the `RUSTFLAGS`
121//! env variable when running `cargo` commands:
122//!
123//! ```shell
124//! RUSTFLAGS="--cfg tracing_unstable" cargo build
125//! ```
126//! Alternatively, the following can be added to the `.cargo/config` file in a
127//! project to automatically enable the cfg flag for that project:
128//!
129//! ```toml
130//! [build]
131//! rustflags = ["--cfg", "tracing_unstable"]
132//! ```
133//!

136//! [`format::Json`]: crate::fmt::format::Json
137//!
138//! ## Supported Rust Versions
139//!
140//! Tracing is built against the latest stable release. The minimum supported
141//! version is 1.63. The current Tracing version is not guaranteed to build on
142//! Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.
143//!
144//! Tracing follows the same compiler support policies as the rest of the Tokio
145//! project. The current stable Rust compiler and the three most recent minor
146//! versions before it will always be supported. For example, if the current
147//! stable compiler version is 1.69, the minimum supported version will not be
148//! increased past 1.66, three minor versions prior. Increasing the minimum
149//! supported compiler version is not considered a semver breaking change as
150//! long as doing so complies with this policy.
