Configuration

Configuration (JSON)

logme supports full configuration using a JSON file. This allows defining the entire logging topology without recompiling the application.

What Can Be Configured

• Channel hierarchy
• Backends and their parameters
• Routing rules
• Error Channel
• Control server settings
• Log encryption
• Severity thresholds

Basic Structure

A configuration file describes a tree of channels. Each channel may define:

• Name
• Parent channel
• Backends
• Routing rules
• Severity filters

The configuration can be loaded at startup or reloaded at runtime.

Default Channel

If no configuration file is provided, logme creates a default channel with predefined settings.

When a configuration file is used, the default channel may be explicitly defined or overridden.
