SLF4J v2

The Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J v2 - using JDK9+ module system JPMS) serves as a simple facade or abstraction for various logging frameworks (e.g. java.util.logging, logback, log4j).

In order to use this logging backend, we need to add the following line in our build.sbt file:

libraryDependencies += "dev.zio" %% "zio-logging-slf4j2" % "2.4.0"

NOTE: SLF4J v2 implementation is similar to v1, however there are some differences, v1 using MDC context, working with JDK8, v2 using key-value pairs, working with JDK9+.

Logger layer:

import zio.logging.backend.SLF4J

val logger = Runtime.removeDefaultLoggers >>> SLF4J.slf4j

Default SLF4J logger setup:

• logger name (by default) is extracted from zio.Trace
  • for example, trace zio.logging.example.Slf4jSimpleApp.run(Slf4jSimpleApp.scala:17) will have zio.logging.example.Slf4jSimpleApp as logger name
  • NOTE: custom logger name may be set by zio.logging.loggerName aspect
• all annotations (logger name and log marker name annotations are excluded) are passed like key-value pairs
• cause is logged as throwable

See also LogFormat and LogAppender

Custom logger name set by aspect:

ZIO.logInfo("Starting user operation") @@ zio.logging.loggerName("zio.logging.example.UserOperation")

Log marker name set by aspect:

ZIO.logInfo("Confidential user operation") @@ SLF4J.logMarkerName("CONFIDENTIAL")
