So That I Don't Goof Again ..... (Tracers or was it loggers)

Communities ColdBox HMVC

I created an app - put in tracers - then got lost. Ha Ha Ha.

I had a hard time remembering where I put all my tracers.

I'm using CB3. I thought there was a way that tracers (or was it
loggers) would automatically display where they were being sent from.

Can anyone help me with this - so that I do not repeat my mistakes?

They should be going to the appenders you declared in your config

I am using the following Code (with various messages):
    <cfset getPlugin("logger").tracer("Need to check credentials
here")>

It works great. However, it does not show where it is coming from.
The next day, I forgot where that was. It took a long time to find
it.

Is there another - better method? If so, what's the syntax for it?

Sorry, guys .... I'm not sure what just happened - except that my
browser closed when I was typing my response.

When it re-launched, I put the reply in and hit "send".

The next thing I know - there are 3 or 4 other the same messages.

I am so sorry guy.

It's not SPAM. Just a goofy "thing".

Use the already configured logger object in every handler, interceptor and plugin. The name is “log”.

log.debug(“my data”)

The logger object is not automatically available in your model,
though, correct? You either have to use the getPlugin method or inject
it.

Solved:

Thanks guys .... With the help of Brad Wood's reply and much more
reading, I found an extremely good answer.

log.info("my data") works ok.
log.debug("my data") did not work. It said that "debug" was not a
method of log.

At any rate, this is my solution:
Both of these methods will display the source of the message:

            myLogger = logBox.getLogger(this);
            myLogger.info("I just created my first logger");

But, the one with great debug info is this one:
            myLogger = logBox.getLogger(this);
            try{
             data = dao.getDBData();
            }
           catch(Any e){
           myLogger.error("Something really died on my dbdata method:
#e.message# #e.detail#",e.tagContext);
           }

I had read this page before - but with Brad's note, I knew what to
look for. Here is the page ...
