<p>The <a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/trait.Subscriber.html" title="trait tracing_core::subscriber::Subscriber"><code>Subscriber</code></a> trait in <code>tracing-core</code> represents the <em>complete</em> set of
functionality required to consume <code>tracing</code> instrumentation. This means that
a single <code>Subscriber</code> instance is a self-contained implementation of a
complete strategy for collecting traces; but it <em>also</em> means that the
<code>Subscriber</code> trait cannot easily be composed with other <code>Subscriber</code>s.</p>
<p>In particular, <a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/trait.Subscriber.html" title="trait tracing_core::subscriber::Subscriber"><code>Subscriber</code></a>s are responsible for generating <a href="../../tracing_core/span/struct.Id.html" title="struct tracing_core::span::Id">span IDs</a> and
assigning them to spans. Since these IDs must uniquely identify a span
within the context of the current trace, this means that there may only be
a single <code>Subscriber</code> for a given thread at any point in time —
otherwise, there would be no authoritative source of span IDs.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the majority of the <a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/trait.Subscriber.html" title="trait tracing_core::subscriber::Subscriber"><code>Subscriber</code></a> traits functionality
is composable: any number of subscribers may <em>observe</em> events, span entry
and exit, and so on, provided that there is a single authoritative source of
span IDs. The <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a> trait represents this composable subset of the
<a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/trait.Subscriber.html" title="trait tracing_core::subscriber::Subscriber"><code>Subscriber</code></a> behavior; it can <em>observe</em> events and spans, but does not
assign IDs.</p>
<h2 id="composing-layers"><a href="#composing-layers">Composing Layers</a></h2>
<p>Since a <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a> does not implement a complete strategy for collecting
traces, it must be composed with a <code>Subscriber</code> in order to be used. The
<a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a> trait is generic over a type parameter (called <code>S</code> in the trait
definition), representing the types of <code>Subscriber</code> they can be composed
with. Thus, a <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a> may be implemented that will only compose with a
particular <code>Subscriber</code> implementation, or additional trait bounds may be
added to constrain what types implementing <code>Subscriber</code> a <code>Layer</code> can wrap.</p>
<p><code>Layer</code>s may be added to a <code>Subscriber</code> by using the <a href="trait.SubscriberExt.html#method.with" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::SubscriberExt::with"><code>SubscriberExt::with</code></a>
method, which is provided by <code>tracing-subscriber</code>s <a href="../prelude/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::prelude">prelude</a>. This method
returns a <a href="struct.Layered.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::layer::Layered"><code>Layered</code></a> struct that implements <code>Subscriber</code> by composing the
<code>Layer</code> with the <code>Subscriber</code>.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>tracing_subscriber::Layer;
<span class="kw">use </span>tracing_subscriber::prelude::<span class="kw-2">*</span>;

<span class="comment">// ...
</span>}
<span class="kw">let </span>subscriber = MySubscriber::new()
.with(MyLayer::new());
tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber);</code></pre></div>
<p>Multiple <code>Layer</code>s may be composed in the same manner:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">pub struct </span>MyOtherLayer {
<span class="comment">// ...

<span class="kw">pub struct </span>MyThirdLayer {
<span class="comment">// ...

<p>The <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.with_subscriber" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::with_subscriber"><code>Layer::with_subscriber</code></a> constructs the <a href="struct.Layered.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::layer::Layered"><code>Layered</code></a> type from a

In
general, it is more idiomatic to use <a href="trait.SubscriberExt.html#method.with" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::SubscriberExt::with"><code>SubscriberExt::with</code></a>, and treat
<a href="trait.Layer.html#method.with_subscriber" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::with_subscriber"><code>Layer::with_subscriber</code></a> as an implementation detail, as <code>with_subscriber</code>
calls must be nested, leading to less clear code for the reader.</p>
<h3 id="runtime-configuration-with-layers"><a href="#runtime-configuration-with-layers">Runtime Configuration With <code>Layer</code>s</a></h3>
<p>In some cases, a particular <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a> may be enabled or disabled based on
runtime configuration. This can introduce challenges, because the type of a
layered <a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/trait.Subscriber.html" title="trait tracing_core::subscriber::Subscriber"><code>Subscriber</code></a> depends on which layers are added to it: if an <code>if</code>
or <code>match</code> expression adds some <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a> implementation in one branch,
and other layers in another, the <a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/trait.Subscriber.html" title="trait tracing_core::subscriber::Subscriber"><code>Subscriber</code></a> values returned by those
branches will have different types. For example, the following <em>will not</em>
work:</p>

<p>If a <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a> may be one of several different types, note that <a href="trait.Layer.html#impl-Layer%3CS%3E-for-Box%3Cdyn%20Layer%3CS%3E%20+%20Send%20+%20Sync%3E" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Box&lt;dyn Layer&lt;S&gt; + Send + Sync&gt;</code> implements <code>Layer</code></a>.

<p>Finally, if the number of layers <em>changes</em> at runtime, a <code>Vec</code> of
subscribers can be used alongside the <a href="../reload/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::reload"><code>reload</code></a> module to
add or remove subscribers dynamically at runtime.</p>
<h2 id="recording-traces"><a href="#recording-traces">Recording Traces</a></h2>
<p>The <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a> trait defines a set of methods for consuming notifications from
tracing instrumentation, which are generally equivalent to the similarly
named methods on <a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/trait.Subscriber.html" title="trait tracing_core::subscriber::Subscriber"><code>Subscriber</code></a>. Unlike <a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/trait.Subscriber.html" title="trait tracing_core::subscriber::Subscriber"><code>Subscriber</code></a>, the methods on
<code>Layer</code> are additionally passed a <a href="struct.Context.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::layer::Context"><code>Context</code></a> type, which exposes additional
information provided by the wrapped subscriber (such as <a href="struct.Context.html#method.current_span" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Context::current_span">the current span</a>)
to the layer.</p>
<h2 id="filtering-with-layers"><a href="#filtering-with-layers">Filtering with <code>Layer</code>s</a></h2>
<p>As well as strategies for handling trace events, the <code>Layer</code> trait may also
be used to represent composable <em>filters</em>. This allows the determination of
what spans and events should be recorded to be decoupled from <em>how</em> they are
recorded: a filtering layer can be applied to other layers or
subscribers. <code>Layer</code>s can be used to implement <em>global filtering</em>, where a
<code>Layer</code> provides a filtering strategy for the entire subscriber.
Additionally, individual recording <code>Layer</code>s or sets of <code>Layer</code>s may be
combined with <em>per-layer filters</em> that control what spans and events are
recorded by those layers.</p>
<h3 id="global-filtering"><a href="#global-filtering">Global Filtering</a></h3>
<p>A <code>Layer</code> that implements a filtering strategy should override the
<a href="trait.Layer.html#method.register_callsite" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::register_callsite"><code>register_callsite</code></a> and/or <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.enabled" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::enabled"><code>enabled</code></a> methods. It may also choose to implement
methods such as <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.on_enter" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::on_enter"><code>on_enter</code></a>, if it wishes to filter trace events based on
the current span context.</p>
<p>Note that the <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.register_callsite" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::register_callsite"><code>Layer::register_callsite</code></a> and <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.enabled" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::enabled"><code>Layer::enabled</code></a> methods
determine whether a span or event is enabled <em>globally</em>. Thus, they should
<strong>not</strong> be used to indicate whether an individual layer wishes to record a
particular span or event. Instead, if a layer is only interested in a subset
of trace data, but does <em>not</em> wish to disable other spans and events for the
rest of the layer stack should ignore those spans and events in its
notification methods.</p>
<p>The filtering methods on a stack of <code>Layer</code>s are evaluated in a top-down
order, starting with the outermost <code>Layer</code> and ending with the wrapped
<a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/trait.Subscriber.html" title="trait tracing_core::subscriber::Subscriber"><code>Subscriber</code></a>. If any layer returns <code>false</code> from its <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.enabled" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::enabled"><code>enabled</code></a> method, or
<a href="../../tracing_core/subscriber/struct.Interest.html#method.never" title="associated function tracing_core::subscriber::Interest::never"><code>Interest::never()</code></a> from its <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.register_callsite" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::register_callsite"><code>register_callsite</code></a> method, filter
evaluation will short-circuit and the span or event will be disabled.</p>
<h4 id="enabling-interest"><a href="#enabling-interest">Enabling Interest</a></h4>
<p>Whenever an tracing event (or span) is emitted, it goes through a number of
steps to determine how and how much it should be processed. The earlier an
event is disabled, the less work has to be done to process the event, so
<code>Layer</code>s that implement filtering should attempt to disable unwanted
events as early as possible. In order, each event checks:</p>
<ul>

filter events based on their <a href="../../tracing_core/metadata/struct.Metadata.html" title="struct tracing_core::metadata::Metadata"><code>Metadata</code></a>. If an event can be disabled
based only on <a href="../../tracing_core/metadata/struct.Metadata.html" title="struct tracing_core::metadata::Metadata"><code>Metadata</code></a>, it should be, as this allows the construction
of the actual <code>Event</code>/<code>Span</code> to be skipped.</li>
<li>For events only (and not spans), <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.event_enabled" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::event_enabled"><code>event_enabled</code></a> is called just before
processing the event. This gives layers one last chance to say that
an event should be filtered out, now that the events fields are known.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="per-layer-filtering"><a href="#per-layer-filtering">Per-Layer Filtering</a></h3>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: per-layer filtering APIs currently require the <a href="../index.html#feature-flags" title="mod tracing_subscriber"><code>&quot;registry&quot;</code> crate
feature flag</a> to be enabled.</p>
<p>Sometimes, it may be desirable for one <code>Layer</code> to record a particular subset
of spans and events, while a different subset of spans and events are
recorded by other <code>Layer</code>s. For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>A layer that records metrics may wish to observe only events including
particular tracked values, while a logging layer ignores those events.</li>
<li>If recording a distributed trace is expensive, it might be desirable to
only send spans with <code>INFO</code> and lower verbosity to the distributed tracing
system, while logging more verbose spans to a file.</li>
<li>Spans and events with a particular target might be recorded differently
from others, such as by generating an HTTP access log from a span that
tracks the lifetime of an HTTP request.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="../filter/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::filter"><code>Filter</code></a> trait is used to control what spans and events are
observed by an individual <code>Layer</code>, while still allowing other <code>Layer</code>s to
potentially record them. The <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.with_filter" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::with_filter"><code>Layer::with_filter</code></a> method combines a
<code>Layer</code> with a <a href="../filter/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::filter"><code>Filter</code></a>, returning a <a href="../filter/struct.Filtered.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::filter::Filtered"><code>Filtered</code></a> layer.</p>
<p>This crates <a href="../filter/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::filter"><code>filter</code></a> module provides a number of types which implement
the <a href="../filter/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::filter"><code>Filter</code></a> trait, such as <a href="../filter/struct.LevelFilter.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::filter::LevelFilter"><code>LevelFilter</code></a>, <a href="../filter/targets/struct.Targets.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::filter::targets::Targets"><code>Targets</code></a>, and
<a href="../filter/struct.FilterFn.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::filter::FilterFn"><code>FilterFn</code></a>. These <a href="../filter/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::filter"><code>Filter</code></a>s provide ready-made implementations of
common forms of filtering. For custom filtering policies, the <a href="../filter/struct.FilterFn.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::filter::FilterFn"><code>FilterFn</code></a>
and <a href="../filter/struct.DynFilterFn.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::filter::DynFilterFn"><code>DynFilterFn</code></a> types allow implementing a <a href="../filter/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::filter"><code>Filter</code></a> with a closure or
function pointer. In addition, when more control is required, the <a href="../filter/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::filter"><code>Filter</code></a>
trait may also be implemented for user-defined types.</p>
<p>//! <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.76.0/core/option/enum.Option.html" title="enum core::option::Option"><code>Option&lt;Filter&gt;</code></a> also implements <a href="../filter/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::filter"><code>Filter</code></a>, which allows for an optional
filter. <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.76.0/core/option/enum.Option.html#variant.None" title="variant core::option::Option::None"><code>None</code></a> filters out <em>nothing</em> (that is, allows
everything through). For example:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">fn </span>setup_tracing&lt;S: Subscriber&gt;(filter_config: <span class="prelude-ty">Option</span>&lt;<span class="kw-2">&amp;</span>str&gt;) {
<span class="kw">let </span>layer = MyLayer::&lt;S&gt;::new()
.with_filter(filter_config.map(|config| filter_fn(my_filter(config))));
<span class="comment">//...
</span>}</code></pre></div>
<pre class="compile_fail" style="white-space:normal;font:inherit;">
<strong>Warning</strong>: Currently, the <a href="../struct.Registry.html">
<code>Registry</code></a> type defined in this crate is the only root
<code>Subscriber</code> capable of supporting <code>Layer</code>s with
per-layer filters. In the future, new APIs will be added to allow other
root <code>Subscriber</code>s to support per-layer filters.
</pre>
<p>For example, to generate an HTTP access log based on spans with
the <code>http_access</code> target, while logging other spans and events to
standard out, a <a href="../filter/index.html" title="mod tracing_subscriber::filter"><code>Filter</code></a> can be added to the access log layer:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>tracing_subscriber::{filter, prelude::<span class="kw-2">*</span>};
<span class="comment">// Generates an HTTP access log.
</span><span class="kw">let </span>access_log = <span class="comment">// ...
// Add a filter to the access log layer so that it only observes
// spans and events with the `http_access` target.
</span><span class="kw">let </span>access_log = access_log.with_filter(filter::filter_fn(|metadata| {
<span class="comment">// Returns `true` if and only if the span or event's target is
// "http_access".
</span>metadata.target() == <span class="string">"http_access"
</span>}));
<span class="comment">// A general-purpose logging layer.
</span><span class="kw">let </span>fmt_layer = tracing_subscriber::fmt::layer();
<span class="comment">// Build a subscriber that combines the access log and stdout log
// layers.
</span>tracing_subscriber::registry()
.with(fmt_layer)
.with(access_log)
.init();</code></pre></div>
<p>Multiple layers can have their own, separate per-layer filters. A span or
event will be recorded if it is enabled by <em>any</em> per-layer filter, but it
will be skipped by the layers whose filters did not enable it. Building on
the previous example:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>tracing_subscriber::{filter::{filter_fn, LevelFilter}, prelude::<span class="kw-2">*</span>};

</span>})))
<span class="comment">// Add a filter for spans and events with the INFO level
// and below to the logging layer.
</span>.with(fmt_layer.with_filter(LevelFilter::INFO))
.init();
<span class="comment">// Neither layer will observe this event

</span><span class="macro">tracing::error!</span>(target: <span class="string">"http_access"</span>, <span class="string">"HTTP request failed with a very bad error!"</span>);</code></pre></div>
<p>A per-layer filter can be applied to multiple <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a>s at a time, by
combining them into a <a href="struct.Layered.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::layer::Layered"><code>Layered</code></a> layer using <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.and_then" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::and_then"><code>Layer::and_then</code></a>, and then
calling <a href="trait.Layer.html#method.with_filter" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::with_filter"><code>Layer::with_filter</code></a> on the resulting <a href="struct.Layered.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::layer::Layered"><code>Layered</code></a> layer.</p>
<p>Consider the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>layer_a</code> and <code>layer_b</code>, which should only receive spans and events at
the <a href="../../tracing_core/metadata/struct.Level.html#associatedconstant.INFO" title="associated constant tracing_core::metadata::Level::INFO"><code>INFO</code></a> <a href="../../tracing_core/metadata/struct.Level.html" title="struct tracing_core::metadata::Level">level</a> and above.</li>
<li>A third layer, <code>layer_c</code>, which should receive spans and events at
the <a href="../../tracing_core/metadata/struct.Level.html#associatedconstant.DEBUG" title="associated constant tracing_core::metadata::Level::DEBUG"><code>DEBUG</code></a> <a href="../../tracing_core/metadata/struct.Level.html" title="struct tracing_core::metadata::Level">level</a> as well.
The layers and filters would be composed thusly:</li>
</ul>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>tracing_subscriber::{filter::LevelFilter, prelude::<span class="kw-2">*</span>};
<span class="kw">let </span>layer_a = <span class="comment">// ...
</span><span class="kw">let </span>layer_b = <span class="comment">// ...
</span><span class="kw">let </span>layer_c = <span class="comment">// ...
</span><span class="kw">let </span>info_layers = layer_a
<span class="comment">// Combine `layer_a` and `layer_b` into a `Layered` layer:

<span class="comment">// ...and then add an `INFO` `LevelFilter` to that layer:

tracing_subscriber::registry()
<span class="comment">// Add `layer_c` with a `DEBUG` filter.
</span>.with(layer_c.with_filter(LevelFilter::DEBUG))
.with(info_layers)
.init();</code></pre></div>
<p>If a <a href="../filter/struct.Filtered.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::filter::Filtered"><code>Filtered</code></a> <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a> is combined with another <a href="trait.Layer.html" title="trait tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer"><code>Layer</code></a>
<a href="trait.Layer.html#method.and_then" title="method tracing_subscriber::layer::Layer::and_then"><code>Layer::and_then</code></a>, and a filter is added to the <a href="struct.Layered.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::layer::Layered"><code>Layered</code></a> layer, that
layer will be filtered by <em>both</em> the inner filter and the outer filter.
Only spans and events that are enabled by <em>both</em> filters will be
observed by that layer. This can be used to implement complex filtering
trees.</p>
<p>As an example, consider the following constraints:</p>
<ul>
<li>Suppose that a particular <a href="../../tracing_core/metadata/struct.Metadata.html#method.target" title="method tracing_core::metadata::Metadata::target">target</a> is used to indicate events that
should be counted as part of a metrics system, which should be only
observed by a layer that collects metrics.</li>
<li>A log of high-priority events (<a href="../../tracing_core/metadata/struct.Level.html#associatedconstant.INFO" title="associated constant tracing_core::metadata::Level::INFO"><code>INFO</code></a> and above) should be logged
to stdout, while more verbose events should be logged to a debugging log file.</li>
<li>Metrics-focused events should <em>not</em> be included in either log output.</li>
</ul>
<p>In that case, it is possible to apply a filter to both logging layers to
exclude the metrics events, while additionally adding a <a href="../filter/struct.LevelFilter.html" title="struct tracing_subscriber::filter::LevelFilter"><code>LevelFilter</code></a>
to the stdout log:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>tracing_subscriber::{filter, prelude::<span class="kw-2">*</span>};
