ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB CPP RS Driver Observability Logging

Caution

You're viewing documentation for an unstable version of ScyllaDB CPP RS Driver. Switch to the latest stable version.

Logging¶

The driver’s logging system uses stderr by default and the log level CASS_LOG_WARN. Both of these settings can be changed using the driver’s cass_log_*() configuration functions.

Important: Logging configuration must be done before calling any other driver function.

Log Level¶

To update the log level use cass_log_set_level().

cass_log_set_level(CASS_LOG_INFO);

/* Create cluster and connect session */

Custom Logging Callback¶

The use of a logging callback allows an application to log messages to a file, syslog, or any other logging mechanism. This callback must be thread-safe because it is possible for it to be called from multiple threads concurrently. The data parameter allows custom resources to be passed to the logging callback.

void on_log(const CassLogMessage* message, void* data) {
  /* Handle logging */
}

int main() {
  void* log_data = NULL /* Custom log resource */;
  cass_log_set_callback(on_log, log_data);
  cass_log_set_level(CASS_LOG_INFO);

  /* Create cluster and connect session */

}
