Hello, shown my translator for Qt using boost.log: void qt_message_translator(QtMsgType type, const QMessageLogContext &context, const QString &msg) { QString const context_message = QString("Qt [") + context.function + " (" + context.file + ":" + QString::number(context.line) + ")] "; QByteArray const ctx_msg = context_message.toUtf8(); QByteArray const qt_msg = msg.toUtf8(); boost::log::sources::severity_logger<severity_level> slg; switch (type) { case QtDebugMsg: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, debug) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; case QtWarningMsg: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, warning) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; case QtCriticalMsg: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, error) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; case QtFatalMsg: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, fatal) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; default: BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, fatal) << ctx_msg.constData() << qt_msg.constData(); break; } } ... qInstallMessageHandler(qt_message_translator); The problem is more of cosmetic nature; the logging format output is different from what is used normally - it looks alien. Since the context data is available I assume I can write an own logging source writing/fill the log records filled with the context information. Additionally I want to add a "Scope" or "Library" flag "Qt" (Scope may be not the best choise since it's used in another context). But I didn't find an example in the boost.log module to find the entry; is writing an own source the right way? How to use it in the qt_message_translator? Thanks, Olaf
