Logger.Translator

Default translation for Erlang log messages.

Logger allows developers to rewrite log messages provided by OTP applications into a format more compatible with Elixir log messages by providing a translator.

A translator is simply a tuple containing a module and a function that can be added and removed via the Logger.add_translator/1 and Logger.remove_translator/1 functions and is invoked for every Erlang message above the minimum log level with four arguments:

  • min_level - the current Logger level
  • level - the level of the message being translated
  • kind - if the message is a :report or :format
  • message - the message to format. If it is :report, it is a tuple with{report_type, report_data}, if it is:format, it is a tuple with{format_message, format_args}. The function must return: *- if the message translation with its metadata *- the translated message *:skip- if the message is not meant to be translated nor logged *:none- if there is no translation, which triggers the next translator See the function [translate/4`](#translate/4) in this module for an example implementation and the default messages translated by Logger.
