Question: logging entry does not contain timestamps?

[yxiang92128]

Hi,

I am using a file_backend in boost to dump the azure logs with format specified as below: boost::log::keywords::format = "%UTCTimeStamp% (%TimeStamp%) [%ThreadID%]: %Message%",

However the messages shown in the log don't seem to contain timestamp/thread number:
59B8CCCB-B782-418A-94BD-668C5C521B48 : Failed request ID =
59B8CCCB-B782-418A-94BD-668C5C521B48 : Exception thrown while processing response: Not Found
59B8CCCB-B782-418A-94BD-668C5C521B48 : Retry policy did not allow for a retry, so throwing exception: Not Found
267F2550-8563-4DCA-9CAD-3306199FEF39 : Exception thrown while processing response: Error in SSL handshake

I can't figure out what I've done wrong here. Can you please help?

Thanks,

Yang

I'm going to look into this issue.

@yxiang92128 Did you ever call boost::log::add_common_attributes() which registers attributes like TimeStamp, ProcessID, ThreadID.

@JinmingHu-MSFT
see attached test code. I tried add_common_attributes before and after add_sink call and neither worked. Any hints?

Thanks,

@yxiang92128 Maybe you should setup formatter or register attributes by yourself instead of calling add_common_attributes for self-defined sink? I'm not sure, the boost::log stuff is kind of complex.

The following easy log init code works for me.

boost::log::add_file_log
(
    boost::log::keywords::file_name = "log.txt",
    boost::log::keywords::format = "%UTCTimeStamp% (%TimeStamp%) [%ThreadID%]: %Message%"
);
boost::log::add_common_attributes();

And you can have a look at boost/log/utility/setup/file.hpp::add_file_log, it does something more than just initialize a backend and a sink and add the sink to core.
