logbox

What problem does it solve?

Centralizes and standardizes logging configuration for ColdBox and standalone LogBox so teams avoid inconsistent logging, noisy outputs, and expensive log evaluations that slow applications or overwhelm operators.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Appender configuration and selection including console, file, rolling, DB, scope, socket, and email for development and production routing.
• Category-based inheritance, root logger control, and WireBox injection to provide per-package logging policies without code changes.
• Performance and observability patterns: closure messages, can{} guards, structured extraInfo handling, async appenders, and guidance for rolling files and retention.
• Extensibility for custom appenders and layouts to forward logs to webhooks, ELK, or cloud providers while applying production best practices like redaction and async tradeoffs.

Quick Start

Configure LogBox to use a console appender for development and a rolling file appender for production, set package-level categories for INFO and enable async on high-volume appenders.
