Refreshing logging settings

[rd]

Hi,

I would like to be able to change the logging settings of a running program.

The first problem is to refresh the logging configuration. At the moment I'm using a PropertyFileConfiguration file to configure the settings, but there doesn't seem to be a way to make it reload the properties file. What is the best solution for this ?

After the configuration is updated, I think I should use the following code to update the logging subsystem:

LoggingConfigurator configurator;
configurator.configure(&this->config());

This seems to work, but sometimes I have the problem that the AsyncStream blocks forever in its destructor. Is it not allowed to reconfigure the logging subsystem?

Thanks,

Ronny

These two PropertyFileConfiguration methods look like the best candidates for the task:

Code: Select all


void load(std::istream& istr);
   /// Loads the configuration data from the given stream, which
   /// must be in properties file format.
      
void load(const std::string& path);
   /// Loads the configuration data from the given file, which
   /// must be in properties file format.

I couldn't find any association between 'AsyncStream' (I assume you are doing something with AsyncStreamChannel) and LoggingConfigurator. You should provide some code.
