Windows event_composer formatters not being set? (1.57.0.0)

[Eduardo Navarro]

Hi,

I've been going around this for quite a bit. I can get the logging to emit events to the log, but the messages come out with the %n notation. I tried numerous things with no success. Im using a global logger and setting tags on a per-thread basis.

My message text is good, messages and event IDs are properly interpreted. I get the messages output with %1 and the EventData is empty. As an example, my genering info message is INFO %1 where %1 should be whatever message I logged.

I do a pretty vanilla global logger, and my current focus is composer. Below is how I initialize it:
BOOST_LOG_GLOBAL_LOGGER_INIT(akv_global_logger, src::severity_logger_mt)
{
//#define EVENT_LOG_ID_TAG "EventID"
//#define EVENT_LOG_GENERIC_MSG_TAG "Message"
//TRUNCATED INITIALIZATION OF backend, type mapping, and category mapping.
sinks::event_log::event_composer composer(
sinks::event_log::direct_event_id_mapping< int >(EVENT_LOG_ID_TAG));
composer[AKV_MSG_GENERICINFO]
% expr::attr< attrs::current_process_id::value_type >("ProcessId")
% expr::attr< std::string >(EVENT_LOG_GENERIC_MSG_TAG);
boost::shared_ptr< sinks::synchronous_sink< sinks::event_log_backend > > sink(
new sinks::synchronous_sink< sinks::event_log_backend >(backend));
sink->locked_backend()->set_event_composer(composer);
logging::core::get()->add_sink(sink);
logging::core::get()->add_global_attribute("ProcessId", attrs::current_process_id());
}

For some reason, the composer's m_EventMap is empty after adding the formatters (I have a couple more). Can anyone help?

Could really use the help here :)

I don't know how that can happen, given that operator[] and operator% in the composer fill m_EventMap. Maybe you have some ABI mismatch? You'll have to step through in the debugger to see what is happening. What compiler are you using?

Im using VS 2013. I ran debugger, and it was not populating the m_EventMap object. The m_EventIDMapper is properly initialized. Events are being fired and logged, just that there is no formatting.

The tests I'm doing are running under the Boost UTF, not sure if that matters. I tried MBCS and UNICODE, no difference. m_EventMap is empty.
