Struct LoggerFactory 

pub struct LoggerFactory {}

The primary entry point for the Timber logging system.

LoggerFactory provides a centralized interface for creating specialized loggers. It uses a fluent builder pattern to allow for granular configuration of retry policies, concurrency models, and destination-specific settings.

Example: Console Logging

let logger = LoggerFactory::cout()
    .max_retries(5)
    .build(Concurrency::Async);

Example: Capturing Logs for Testing

let logger = LoggerFactory::vector()
    .capacity(500)
    .build(Concurrency::Sync);

Implementations

impl LoggerFactory

pub fn silent() -> Logger

Returns a “No-Op” logger that discards all messages.

Useful for silencing output in production environments or as a default placeholder in library configuration.

pub fn loki() -> Loki

Creates a builder for Grafana Loki.

Requires the loki feature to be enabled.

pub fn cloudwatch() -> CloudWatch

Creates a builder for Amazon CloudWatch.

Requires the aws feature to be enabled.

pub fn io() -> IoWrite

Creates a builder for byte-oriented output targets (Files, TCP streams).

pub fn fmt() -> FmtWrite

Creates a builder for string-oriented output targets (String, in-memory buffers).

pub fn vector() -> Vector

Creates a builder for capturing structured Message data in a Vec.

Ideal for unit testing and programmatic analysis.

pub fn cout() -> CoutWrite

Creates a builder for logging to the Standard Output (stdout).

pub fn cerr() -> CerrWrite

Creates a builder for logging to the Standard Error (stderr).
