Welcome to hslogger, the Haskell Logging Framework

hslogger is a logging framework for Haskell, roughly similar to Python's logging module.

hslogger has a number of features:

  • Each log message has a priority and a source associated with it
  • Multiple log writers can be on the system
  • Configurable global actions based on priority and source
  • Extensible log writers (handlers)
  • Default handlers that write to the console, file handles, or syslog
  • Easy to use operation

hslogger is written by John Goerzen and was initially part of MissingH. It is licensed under the LGPL.

Contributing to hslogger

You can always download the source from the Downloads page and attach diffs. But it's far better, both for you and for me, if you use Git.

Please see our 5-Minute Git Guide. You can check out the hslogger repository with:

git clone git://git.complete.org/hslogger
