Class CLogClient

class CLogClient : public CLogBase;

Description

Log Engine implementation.

It creates a shared session on the log database and allows log viewers to retrieve events from the log.

The class also provides log administration functions.

Wherever time values are used by this class, they must be specified as UTC rather than local time.

Member functions


AddEvent()

Capability: Security policy note: For built-in event types, the required capability level is defined in the event type's write access policy.

virtual IMPORT_C void AddEvent(CLogEvent &aEvent, TRequestStatus &aStatus);

Description

Adds an event to the log database. This is an asynchronous request.

There must be no asynchronous request outstanding when this function is called, otherwise the function raises a LogCli 0 panic.

Parameters

CLogEvent &aEvent

A log event detail object containing the attributes of the event to be added. The Log Engine sets the unique event ID, the UTC time and the event description, replacing any supplied values. The caller must ensure that this object remains in existence and valid until the request is complete.

TRequestStatus &aStatus

The request status. On request completion,contains: KErrNone, if the event has been successfully added to the log database; KErrNotFound, if the event type is not registered with the Log Engine; KErrNotSupported, if the logging of events of this type has been disabled; otherwise, one of the other system wide error codes.

Capability: Security policy note: None required.

IMPORT_C void NotifyChange(TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds32 aDelay, TRequestStatus &aStatus);

Description

Requests notification of changes to the Log Engine database. This is an asynchronous request.

The function requires the caller to specify a minimum time that must elapse before this notification request can complete. The Log Engine buffers all changes that occur during this time; the request, then completes after this minimum time period has elapsed. If no changes occur within this time period, then the request completes when the next change to the database occurs.

There must be no asynchronous request outstanding when this function is called, otherwise the function raises a LogCli 0 panic.

Note that once a notification request has completed, this function must be called again to get further change notifications.

Parameters

TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds32 aDelay

The minimum time, in microseconds, that elapses before the notification request can complete.

TRequestStatus &aStatus

The request status. On request completion, contains:KErrNone, if successful;KErrCancel, if an outstanding notification request is cancelled; otherwise, one of the other system wide error codes.


NotifyChangeCancel()

Capability: Security policy note: None required

GetString()

Capability: Security policy note: None required.

virtual IMPORT_C TInt GetString(TDes &aString, TInt aId) const;

Description

Gets a standard string from the specified resource in logwrap.dll resource file.

The function can be used to populate some of the event fields in a CLogEvent object before creating or changing an event.

Note that TLogString is a modifiable buffer descriptor that is guaranteed to be large enough to contain all standard strings used in the Log Engine; pass an instance of this type to this function.

Parameters

TDes &aString

A modifiable descriptor into which the string is copied.

TInt aId

The resource id.

Return value

TInt

KErrNone, if successful; otherwise, one of the other system wide error codes.

This function is called as part of the active object's Cancel().

It must call the appropriate cancel function offered by the active object's asynchronous service provider. The asynchronous service provider's cancel is expected to act immediately.

DoCancel() must not wait for event completion; this is handled by Cancel().


CLogBase_Reserved1()

private: virtual IMPORT_C void CLogBase_Reserved1();

Description
