Getting started

Slog is quite simple to use, but very flexible. The following guides might help you get slog to do what you want fast. Feel free to reach out for more help on slog gitter channel.

• I am writing a new application, and I want to use slog features.
• I have an existing application, and would like an easy way to use slog features
• I want the users of my library to benefit from slog features.

New application

• Check slog - logging to terminal example
• Check slog - logging to a file example
• Check how mussh (ssh multiplexer) setups up custom slog logging
• Check how shadowsocks-rust setups up custom slog logging

Existing application

Generally existing applications should eventually use the same techniques as advised for new apps, but there are couple helpers to get up to speed without too much trouble.

• If you were using env_logger before, check slog-envlogger README
• If you want to avoid converting your existing logging statements, check slog scope example

Library

• Check slog example library, especially the main lib.rs
