# Mixlib::Log

[](https://travis-ci.org/chef/mixlib-log) [](https://badge.fury.io/rb/mixlib-log)

Mixlib::Log provides a mixin for enabling a class based logger object, a-la Merb, Chef, and Nanite. To use it:

```ruby require ‘mixlib/log‘

class Log

  extend Mixlib::Log

end ```

You can then do:

```ruby Log.debug(‘foo’) Log.info(‘bar’) Log.warn(‘baz’) Log.error(‘baz’) Log.fatal(‘wewt’) ```

By default, `Mixlib::Logger` logs to STDOUT. To alter this, you should call +Log.init+, passing any arguments to the standard Ruby Logger. For example:

```ruby Log.init(’/tmp/logfile’) # log to /tmp/logfile Log.init(’/tmp/logfile’, 7) # log to /tmp/logfile, rotate every day ```

Enjoy!
