The Per-Process Logger

Ice allows you to install a per-process custom logger. This logger is used by all communicators that do not have their own specific logger established at the time they are created.

You can set a per-process logger by calling setProcessLogger, and you can retrieve the per-process logger by calling getProcessLogger:

namespace Ice
{
    LoggerPtr getProcessLogger();
    void setProcessLogger(const LoggerPtr&);
}

namespace Ice;

public sealed class Util
{
    public static Logger getProcessLogger()
    {
      ...
    }

    public static void setProcessLogger(Logger logger)
    {
      ...
    }
}

package com.zeroc.Ice;

public final class Util
{
    public static Logger getProcessLogger()
    {
      ...
    }

    public static void setProcessLogger(Logger logger)
    {
      ...
    }
}

declare module "@zeroc/ice" {
    namespace Ice {
        function getProcessLogger(): Ice.Logger;
        function setProcessLogger(logger: Ice.Logger): void;
    }
}

def getProcessLogger() -> Ice.Logger:
  ...
def setProcessLogger(logger: Ice.Logger) -> None:
  ...

If you call getProcessLogger without having called setProcessLogger first, the Ice runtime installs a default per-process logger. Note that if you call setProcessLogger, only communicators created after that point will use this per-process logger; communicators created earlier use the logger that was in effect at the time they were created. (This also means that you can call setProcessLogger multiple times; communicators created after that point will use whatever logger was established by the last call to setProcessLogger.)
