[jira] [Commented] (LOGCXX-566) Configurable output colors for log messages

["Robert Middleton (Jira)" <lo...@logging.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-566?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17642236#comment-17642236 ] 

Robert Middleton commented on LOGCXX-566:
-----------------------------------------

We should also have pre-set colors if possible.  This would be somewhat similar to what libfmt does, but as text in our configuration file.

 

ideas:

<param name="errorColor" value="red"/> <-- red color text(foreground implied)

<param name="errorColor" value="bg(red)|fg(white)|bold"/> <-- red background, white text, bold

<param name="errorColor" value="\x1b[7m"/> <-- white letters on black background(ANSI escape code directly set by user)

> With the %Y formatter, we can colorize the log output messages depending on their level.
>  
> This should be expanded to have a parameter on the PatternLayout that you can use to apply the colors.  For example, error is currently "\x1B[91m" for red, but this should be user-configurable so that it can be a different color if required.
> This also means that things such as bold text can be configured by the user.
