One of the key parts of succesful background processes is adequate logging. The AbstractLogger aims to simplify logging from inside daemon processes by providing additional useful information with each log line, including calling file name and line number and support for cleanly logging exceptions.

The logger can be accessed through DaemonKit.logger.

AbstractLogger provides an interface that is fully compatible with the Logger class provided by Ruby‘s Standard Library, and is extended with some additional conveniences.

The AbstractLogger supports different backends, by default it uses a Logger instance, but can by swapped out for a SysLogLogger logger as well.
