Since the inclusion of "easylogging", loggedfs does not log ANYTHING

[s-m-e]

With commit 02339be and earlier, things work as expected. With commit 6a85fbd and later (with the inclusion of easylogging, loggedfs essentially does not log anything for me anymore - even if I allow everything in the XML configuration file.

All I get is something along those lines ...

2019-04-11 12:42:10,442 INFO [default] Configuration file : /demo/test_loggedfs_cfg.xml
2019-04-11 12:42:10,442 INFO [default] LoggedFS running as a public filesystem
2019-04-11 12:42:10,442 INFO [default] LoggedFS starting at /demo/test_mount/test_child.
2019-04-11 12:42:10,442 INFO [default] Using configuration file /demo/test_loggedfs_cfg.xml.

2019-04-11 12:42:10,755 INFO [default] LoggedFS closing.

... although I ran a few actions on it, like creating a file, changing it, etc.

Testing on openSUSE Leap 42.3 x86_64, patch level as of today. Tried to compile with both g++ 4.7 and 6.2.

Narrowed it down. It is this little blob, which is causing this annoyance:

        if (loggedfsArgs->isDaemon)
        {
            dispatchAction = el::base::DispatchAction::SysLog;
            loggerId = "syslog";
        }

If in daemon mode, logged data (at least in my case) ONLY goes to the sys log. Except loggedfs status information, which goes to the log file itself (as expected).

Workaround, if you do not need the sys log: Comment the above 5 lines.

I also have this problem.

I believe running the following should provide better output:

root@8e36fd945083:~# mkdir /tmp/TEST
root@8e36fd945083:~# loggedfs -l log.txt /tmp/TEST
2021-11-20 08:25:50,401 INFO [default] LoggedFS log file : log.txt
root@8e36fd945083:~# echo this is some data > /tmp/TEST/test.txt
root@8e36fd945083:~# cat log.txt 
2021-11-20 08:25:50,402 INFO [default] LoggedFS starting at /tmp/TEST.
