Hi, I'd like to propose an addition of put_process_level(pid, level) into the Logger module to allow controlling the runtime logging level on a per-process basis.
Our app runs multiple background processing jobs that are performing data sync. This means that the jobs run "forever". We're running a job (OTP process) for each user. While we have metrics and alerts to understand when a new user is hitting some bumps, we'd like to have detailed logs to help debug any potential issues. The issues are mostly data-dependent and are happening in the initial phase of the sync. After that, the issues rarely ever happen and so the detailed logs are pretty useless, but they still consume resources. We could address our use case with something like the following: new? = DateTime.diff(DateTime.utc_now(), sync_start) > @threshold Logger.put_process_level(self(), if new?, do: :debug, else: :warn) The implementation should be pretty straightforward and resemble the implementation of Logger.enable/1. Looking forward to your thoughts. Best, Stefan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
