The Logging OSID provides a means to read and wite to logs. A Log represents a collection of log entries. Each log entry is composed of a priority Type, timestamp, Agent, the agent's associated Resource, and a record.

Logs can be organized into hierarchies for federation. A log that is a parent of another log makes visible the log entries of its children.

Example

                         
                         
                         LoggingSession out = manager.getLoggingSession();
                         out.log(warningLogEntryPriorityType, "hello world", stringLogEntryContentType);
                         
                         LogReadingSession in = manager.getLogReadingSession();
                         LogEntryList entries = inn.getLogEntries();
                         while (entries.hasNext()) {
                             LogEntry entry = entries.getNextLogEntry();
                             printEntry(entry);
                         }
