Detailed Description

addtogroup gazebo_util

Handles logging of data to disk

The LogRecord class is a Singleton that manages data logging of any entity within a running simulation. An entity may be a World, Model, or any of their child entities. This class only writes log files, see LogPlay for playback functionality.

State information for an entity may be logged through the LogRecord::Add function, and stopped through the LogRecord::Remove function. Data may be logged into a single file, or split into many separate files by specifying different filenames for the LogRecord::Add function.

The LogRecord is updated at the start of each simulation step. This guarantees that all data is stored.

Member Function Documentation

void Add ( const std::string &  _name,
const std::string &  _filename,
std::function< bool(std::ostringstream &)>  _logCallback 
)

Add an object to a log file.

Add a new object to a log. An object can be any valid named object in simulation, including the world itself. Duplicate additions are ignored. Objects can be added to the same file by specifying the same _filename.

Parameters
[in]_nameName of the object to log.
[in]_filenameFilename of the log file.
[in]_logCallbackFunction used to log data for the object. Typically an object will have a log function that outputs data to the provided ofstream.
Exceptions
Exception
std::string BasePath ( ) const

Get the base path for a log recording.

Returns
Path for log recording.
unsigned int BufferSize ( ) const

Get the size of the buffer.

Returns
Size of the buffer, in bytes.
const std::string& Encoding ( ) const

Get the encoding used.

Returns
Either [txt, zlib, or bz2], where txt is plain txt and bz2 and zlib are compressed data with Base64 encoding.
std::string Filename ( const std::string &  _name = "") const

Get the filename for a log object.

Parameters
[in]_nameName of the log object.
Returns
Filename, empty string if not found.
unsigned int FileSize ( const std::string &  _name = "") const

Get the file size for a log object.

Parameters
[in]_nameName of the log object.
Returns
Size in bytes.
std::string Filter ( ) const

Get the log recording filter string.

Returns
Log recording filter string.
void Fini ( )

Finialize, and shutdown.

bool FirstUpdate ( ) const

Return true if an Update has not yet been completed.

Returns
True if an Update has not yet been completed.
bool Init ( const std::string &  _subdir)

Initialize logging into a subdirectory.

Init may only be called once, False will be returned if called multiple times.

Parameters
[in]_subdirDirectory to record to
Returns
True if successful.
static LogRecord * Instance ( )
inlinestaticinherited

Get an instance of the singleton.

bool IsReadyToStart ( ) const

Get whether the logger is ready to start, which implies that any previous runs have finished.

void Notify ( )

Tell the recorder that an update should occur.

bool Paused ( ) const

Get whether logging is paused.

Returns
True if logging is paused.
See Also
LogRecord::SetPaused
double Period ( ) const

Get the log recording period.

Returns
Log recording period in seconds.
bool Remove ( const std::string &  _name)

Remove an entity from a log.

Removes an entity from the logger. The stops data recording for the entity and all its children. For example, specifying a world will stop all data logging.

Parameters
[in]_nameName of the log
Returns
True if the entity existed and was removed. False if the entity was not registered with the logger.
bool Running ( ) const

Get whether logging is running.

Returns
True if logging has been started.
common::Time RunTime ( ) const

Get the run time in sim time.

Returns
Run sim time.
void SetBasePath ( const std::string &  _path)

Set the base path.

Parameters
[in]_pathPath to the new logging location.
void SetFilter ( const std::string &  _filter)

Set the log recording filter string.

Parameters
[in]_filterNew log record filter regex string
void SetPaused ( const bool  _paused)

Set whether logging should pause.

A paused state means the log file is still open, but data is not written to it.

Parameters
[in]_pausedTrue to pause data logging.
See Also
LogRecord::GetPaused
void SetPeriod ( const double  _period)

Set the log recording period.

Parameters
[in]_periodNew log recording period in seconds.
bool Start ( const LogRecordParams _params)

Start the logger.

[in] _params Log recording parameters.

bool Start ( const std::string &  _encoding = "zlib",
const std::string &  _path = "" 
)

Start the logger.

Parameters
[in]_encodingThe type of encoding (txt, zlib, or bz2).
[in]_pathPath in which to store log files.
void Stop ( )

Stop the logger.

void Write ( const bool  _force = false)

Write all logs.

Parameters
[in]_forceTrue to skip waiting on dataAvailableCondition.
