CMS MessageLogger: Establishing File and Stream Destinations

CMS MessageLogger Service
Establishing File and Stream Destinations

process TEST = {

  service = MessageLogger {
    vstring destinations = {   "detailedInfo.txt"
                             , "critical.txt"
                             , "cout"
                             , "cerr"
                                             }
    PSet critical.txt     = { string threshold = "ERROR"   }
    PSet detailedInfo.txt = { string threshold = "INFO"    } 
    PSet cerr             = { string threshold = "WARNING" }
  }
  untracked PSet maxEvents = {untracked int32 input = 5}
  path p = { myAnalysisModule }
  module myAnalysisModule = ModuleThatIssuesMessages { }
  source = EmptySource { }
}
The vstring destinations = {"detailedInfo.txt", ... } parameter establishes one or more file (or ostream) destinations for the messages issued. The destinations can be configured individually to establish filtering of messages.

If messages are issued prior to the initiation of the MessageLogger service, the configuration of these destinations will not yet have occurred. Such messages will be sent to cerr.
