LuaLogService:new
The constructor for a LuaLogService
object (creates a new LuaLogService
).
IMPORTANT: Do not create a new log service to write messages to log types that are defined in the Jive Connector configuration file. Instead use the same log service as Jive Connector, by calling get_log_service, or obtain a LuaLog
object through the function get_log.
Syntax
LuaLogService:new( config )
Arguments
Argument | Description |
---|---|
config
|
(LuaConfig) The configuration object to read the logging settings from. You can obtain a LuaConfig object through the function get_config. |
Returns
(LuaLogService). The new LuaLogService
object.
Example
The following example creates a LuaLogService
object to write log messages to a custom log file named lua.log
. Declare the log service globally to avoid a LuaLogService
object being created every time the script runs. For example, if you are writing a Lua script to use with a connector or CFS, create the LuaLogService
outside the handler
function. Otherwise, the server creates a LuaLogService
object for every document that is processed.
