Ember's Log Filtering

by TysonTheEmber

Ember's Log Filtering decides which messages reach the console, using regex rules, logger names and log levels set in logfilter.json.

FabricForgeNeoForgeGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Rules in the config file can suppress log messages whose text matches a regular expression, or target a logger by exact name with hierarchical matching. Each rule carries an action: DENY hides a match, ALLOW forces it to show, and NEUTRAL passes it through to the next rule. A rule can also be limited to one log level such as DEBUG, INFO, WARN or ERROR, so only messages at that level are checked.

The file logfilter.json is created in the config directory on first launch with defaults, and changes apply instantly, though a restart is needed for some settings. Individual rules can be toggled on or off without being removed. The mod ships several pre-made rules that are disabled by default, including one that suppresses OpenAL and LWJGL info spam. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Regex message filtering

    Rules match log message text with regular expressions, so whole families of noisy lines can be hidden at once.

  2. Logger name filtering

    A rule can match one logger by exact name, and the match follows the logger hierarchy.

  3. Per-level targeting

    Rules can be restricted to DEBUG, INFO, WARN or ERROR messages, so a rule does not catch lines at other levels.

  4. Per-rule control

    Each rule has an enabled setting, so it can be switched off in the config without deleting it.

  5. Pre-made disabled rules

    Ready-made rules for common log spam are included but disabled, so they can be turned on one at a time.
