Logging

Danger

A missing logging framework will hinder the application from starting

You can use all logging frameworks compatible with the SLF4J logging facade, but the usage of logback is encouraged.

Kotlin GradleMaven

build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
  implementation("ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:VERSION)
}

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
    <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
    <version>VERSION</version>
</dependency>

Replace VERSION with the latest version

Configuration¶

This configuration has been taken from the jda wiki because it has a consistent styling and is understandable.

logback.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %boldCyan(%-34.-34thread) %red(%10.10X{jda.shard}) %boldGreen(%-15.-15logger{0}) %highlight(%-6level) %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <root level="info">
