Under the Hood

The idea is to dive deep, step by step, and see what’s happening under the hood of VBA Monologger. Each component plays a vital role in ensuring logs are structured, meaningful, handled and routed effectively.

Below are the key components and their roles:

• Log levels
  Classify the importance of log messages, ranging from detailed debugging information to critical errors that require immediate attention.

• Log record
  Captures detailed information about an event or action within an application, forming the core of a log entry.

• Formatter
  Structures log messages into a specific format, making them readable and suited for various outputs such as JSON, text, or HTML.

• Handler
  Routes log records to their appropriate destinations, such as files, console outputs, or external systems.

• Pre-Processor
  Adds or modifies context in log entries before they are formatted or handled, providing flexibility and enrichment to the log data.

• Logger
  The central component that orchestrates logging by managing levels, handlers, formatters, and pre-processors to ensure seamless log management.
