## Motivation In some cases, `Layer` implementations may wish to trigger new events on the inner subscriber. Potential use cases include layers that aggregate or roll up events. Now that PR #281 allows events to be constructed without implicitly dispatching them to a `Subscriber`, we can add support for this to the `Layer` trait. ## Solution This commit adds a `Context::event` method to the `layer::Context` type in `tracing-subscriber`. This takes an `&Event` and calls `Subscriber::event` on the wrapped subscriber. Signed-off-by: Eliza Weisman <eliza@buoyant.io>
tracing
Application-level tracing for Rust.
Overview
tracing
is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
structured, event-based diagnostic information. tracing
is maintained by the
Tokio project, but does not require the tokio
runtime to be used.
Getting Help
First, see if the answer to your question can be found in the API documentation. If the answer is not there, there is an active community in the Tracing Gitter channel. We would be happy to try to answer your question. Last, if that doesn't work, try opening an issue with the question.
Contributing
🎈 Thanks for your help improving the project! We are so happy to have you! We have a contributing guide to help you get involved in the Tracing project.
Project layout
The tracing
crate contains the primary instrumentation API, used for
instrumenting libraries and applications to emit trace data. The tracing-core
crate contains the core API primitives on which the rest of tracing
is
instrumented. Authors of trace subscribers may depend on tracing-core
, which
guarantees a higher level of stability.
Additionally, this repository contains several compatibility and utility
libraries built on top of tracing
. Some of these crates are in a pre-release
state, and are less stable than the tracing
and tracing-core
crates.
