Logging

Introduction
Logging is built-in with ConanJs to provide you with an integrated platform so that you can:
Log meaningful message easily
Log what is happening internally in ConanJs
Fine tune at runtime what should be logged.
ConanData and Asaps both produce ConanJs log messages out of the box.
As of v1.0 dependency injection does not log anything at the moment, but this will be the case soon.
Anatomy
A logging message has many attributes that are helpful to understand where the message comes from, its information, and also, to make easier to fine tune what should be logged out.
Nature (Where?)
Indicates the nature of the source of this log message. There are seven natures:
Name
Source
MAIN
The main thread in a Conan state
META
The meta flow in a Conan state
ASYNC
The monitor thread in a Conan state
HELPER
The main thread in a Conan state (when the user decides to override the nature)
ASAP
Log message from an ASAP.
AUX
Derived from a Conan State that is created internally by the framework (you are likely to want to have this always turned off)
Level (How important?)
There are 7 levels. In order of importance (from less important to more important):
DEBUG
TRACE
INFO
MILESTONE
WARN
ERROR
shortDesc
A string message describing what is happening
payload
Optionally, there can a payload that will also get logged out.
Fine tuning Logging.
You can configure what to log at runtime. By default it gets log out everything that is:
MAIN and MILESTONE
To fine tune what gets logged out there are three main methods
updateLoggingFilter
Receives the current rules for logging, returns the new rules for logging
setLoggingFilter
Sets the logging rules
getLoggingFilter
Get the current rules.
