# get_log

DEPRECATED: This version of the `get_log` function is deprecated in IDOL Community Component 11.4.0 and later.

This version of the function is still available for existing implementations, but it might be incompatible with new functionality. This version of the function might be removed in future.

Micro Focus recommends that you use the function `get_log( log_type )` instead.

The `get_log` function reads a configuration file and returns a LuaLog object that provides the capability to use the specified log stream.

## Syntax

    get_log( config, logstream )

## Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`config` | (LuaConfig) A LuaConfig object that represents the configuration file which contains the log stream. You can obtain a LuaConfig object using the function get_config.
`logstream` | (string) The name of the section in the configuration file that contains the settings for the log stream.

## Returns

(LuaLog). A LuaLog object that provides the capability to use the log stream.

## Example

    local config = get_config("connector.cfg")
    local log = get_log(config, "SynchronizeLogStream")
