# OpenFeign Normalized Logger

![](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/me.bvn13.openfeign.logger/feign-normalized-logger)

Standard OpenFeign logger provides the only approach to log communications - 
it logs every header in separated log entries, the body goes into another log entry.

It is very inconvenient to deal with such logs in production especially in multithreaded systems.

This 'Normalized Logger' is intended to combine all log entries related to one request-reply 
communication into one log entry.

## Old bad Logger

All parts are separated from each other:
1) Request:
   1) request headers - every header is put into separated entry
   2) request body - at separated entry
2) Response:
   1) response headers - separately
   2) response body - at separated entry as well

## New Normalized Logger

The whole communication (request and response parts) is combined into one log entry.

# How to use

In order to use Normalized Logger into the application they must the following.

## 0) Check the latest version

at [Maven Central Repo](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/me/bvn13/openfeign/logger)

## 1) Add dependency

for Maven

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>me.bvn13.openfeign.logger</groupId>
    <artifactId>feign-normalized-logger</artifactId>
    <version>0.2.1</version>
</dependency>
```

for Gradle

```groovy
implementation 'me.bvn13.openfeign.logger:feign-normalized-logger:0.1.4'
```

## 2) Create Feign configuration and enable logger + specify FULL logging level

```java
import feign.Logger;

public class MyFeignConfig {
    
    @Bean
    public Logger logger() {
        return new NormalizedFeignLogger();
    }

    @Bean
    public Logger.Level logLevel() {
        return Logger.Level.FULL;
    }
    
}
```

### 3) Use this configuration into `@FeignClient` objects

```java
@FeignClient(name = "auth", configuration = MyFeignConfig.class)
public interface AuthApi {
/*...methods...*/
}
```

### 4) Adjust INFO level for Normalized Logger

for Slf4J + Logback

```yaml
logging:
  level:
    me.bvn13.openfeign.logger.NormalizedFeignLogger: INFO
```
