local log = require("log.log")
-- Create a logger instance to use in this file
local logger = log.get_logger("my_logger_name")
function init(self)
-- All available functions in logger instance:
logger:trace("Trace is typically used to log the start and end of functions or specific events")
logger:debug("Debug is suitable for detailed system information that could be helpful during development", { level = self.level, message = "any_param" })
logger:info("Info is used for general system information under normal operation")
logger:warn("Warn is intended for potentially harmful situations that could require attention")
