Quick Logger is asynchronous. All logs are sent to a queue and don't compromises your application flow. You can define many providers to sent every log entry and decide what level accepts every one.

program
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
    Quick.Logger:
    Quick.Logger.Provider.Files;
    Quick.Logger.Provider.Console;
begin
    //Add Log File and console providers
    Logger.Providers.Add(GlobalLogFileProvider);
    Logger.Providers.Add(GlobalLogConsoleProvider);
    //Configure provider options
    with GlobalLogFileProvider do
 	begin
    	FileName := '.\Logger.log';
        DailyRotate := True;
        MaxFileSizeInMB := 20;
        LogLevel := LOG_ALL;
    	Enabled := True;
  	end;
    with GlobalLogConsoleProvider do
    begin
    	LogLevel := LOG_DEBUG;
        ShowEventColors := True;
        Enabled := True;
    end;
    Log('Test entry',etInfo);
    Log('Test number: %d',[1],etWarning);
end.

QuickLogger manages Logger and Providers automatically. Logger and providers have a global class, auto created and released on close your app. You only need to add wanted providers to your uses clause.

Note: You need to add almost one provider to send logging.

There are a range of eventtypes you can define in your logs: etHeader, etInfo, etSuccess, etWarning, etError, etCritical, etException, etDebug, etTrace, etCustom1, etCustom2.

Every logger provider can be configured to listen for one or more of these event types and limit the number of received eventtypes received for a range of eventtypes per Day, hour, minute or second for avoid performance problems or be spammed.

Providers manage the output for your logs. Output can be file, console, email, etc. If a provider fails many times to send a log, will be disabled automatically (full disk, remote server down, etc). Limits can be specified per provider. Providers have a property to change Time format settings property to your needs. Every provider has a queue log to receive log items, but can be disabled to allow direct write/send. There are some events to control providers work (OnRestart, OnCriticalError, OnSendLimits, etc).

There are some predefined providers, but you can make your own provider if needed:

• Quick.Logger.Provider.Files: Sends logging to a file, managing log rotation and compression.

QuickLogger allows to select with info to log. You can include HOSTNAME, OS Version, AppName, Platform or Environment(production, test, etc) and other fields (to be compatible with multienvironments or multidevices). It's more evident for a remote logging like redis or rest, but File provider can be write a header with this fields if you like. Properties:

- **Platform:** Define your log source (API, Destokp app or your own value).
- **Environment:** Define your environment (Production, Test, develop or your own value). 
- **AppName:** Uses default filename without extension, but can be customized.
- **IncludedInfo:** Define which fields do you want to include as part of your log info.

GlobalLogConsoleProvider.IncludedInfo := [iiAppName,iiHost,iiEnvironment,iiPlatform];

- **CustomMsgOutput:** If enabled, LogItem.Msg field is only included as output. It ables to send customized json to redis, rest, etc. 

GlobalLogRedisProvider.CustomMsgOutput := True;
Log('{"level":"warn","text":"my text"}',etInfo);

QuickLogger can import or export config from/to JSON format. This feature allows a easy way to preconfigure your providers.

	//Load single provider from json file
	GlobalLogRedisProvider.LoadFromFile('C:\logfileprovider.json');
	//Save all providers to json file
	Logger.Providers.SaveToFile('C:\loggerconfig.json');
	//Load all providers from json string
	Logger.Providers.FromJson(json);

QuickLogger can capture your application exceptions. Add unit Quick.Logger.ExceptionHook to your uses clause to allow receiving any exception thown.

Note: QuickLogger receives even try..except exceptions.
