Logs to a file handle such as stdout, stderr, or a file. Contexts and other information will be flattened out into bracketed fields. For example:

[2016-05-11 21:01:15][MyApp][Info][myhost.example.com][PID 1724][ThreadId 1154][main:Helpers.Logging Helpers/Logging.hs:32:7] Started
[2016-05-11 21:01:15][MyApp.confrabulation][Debug][myhost.example.com][PID 1724][ThreadId 1154][confrab_factor:42.0][main:Helpers.Logging Helpers/Logging.hs:41:9] Confrabulating widgets, with extra namespace and context
[2016-05-11 21:01:15][MyApp][Info][myhost.example.com][PID 1724][ThreadId 1154][main:Helpers.Logging Helpers/Logging.hs:43:7] Namespace and context are back to normal

Returns the newly-created Scribe. The finalizer flushes the handle. Handle mode is set to LineBuffering automatically.

A traditional bracketed log format. Contexts and other information will be flattened out into bracketed fields. For example:

[2016-05-11 21:01:15][MyApp][Info][myhost.example.com][PID 1724][ThreadId 1154][main:Helpers.Logging Helpers/Logging.hs:32:7] Started
[2016-05-11 21:01:15][MyApp.confrabulation][Debug][myhost.example.com][PID 1724][ThreadId 1154][confrab_factor:42.0][main:Helpers.Logging Helpers/Logging.hs:41:9] Confrabulating widgets, with extra namespace and context
[2016-05-11 21:01:15][MyApp][Info][myhost.example.com][PID 1724][ThreadId 1154][main:Helpers.Logging Helpers/Logging.hs:43:7] Namespace and context are back to normal
valuejsonFormat :: LogItem a => ItemFormatter a
#

Logs items as JSON. This can be useful in circumstances where you already have infrastructure that is expecting JSON to be logged to a standard stream or file. For example:

{"at":"2018-10-02T21:50:30.4523848Z","env":"production","ns":["MyApp"],"data":{},"app":["MyApp"],"msg":"Started","pid":"10456","loc":{"loc_col":9,"loc_pkg":"main","loc_mod":"Helpers.Logging","loc_fn":"Helpers\\Logging.hs","loc_ln":44},"host":"myhost.example.com","sev":"Info","thread":"ThreadId 139"}
{"at":"2018-10-02T21:50:30.4523848Z","env":"production","ns":["MyApp","confrabulation"],"data":{"confrab_factor":42},"app":["MyApp"],"msg":"Confrabulating widgets, with extra namespace and context","pid":"10456","loc":{"loc_col":11,"loc_pkg":"main","loc_mod":"Helpers.Logging","loc_fn":"Helpers\\Logging.hs","loc_ln":53},"host":"myhost.example.com","sev":"Debug","thread":"ThreadId 139"}
{"at":"2018-10-02T21:50:30.4523848Z","env":"production","ns":["MyApp"],"data":{},"app":["MyApp"],"msg":"Namespace and context are back to normal","pid":"10456","loc":{"loc_col":9,"loc_pkg":"main","loc_mod":"Helpers.Logging","loc_fn":"Helpers\\Logging.hs","loc_ln":55},"host":"myhost.example.com","sev":"Info","thread":"ThreadId 139"}

Provides a simple log environment with 1 scribe going to stdout. This is a decent example of how to build a LogEnv and is best for scripts that just need a quick, reasonable set up to log to stdout.
