At the moment that log is used primarily for Arrow developers and is not likely to be terribly useful beyond that. It is not, as far as I know, very extensible. I think you can only configure it to log to stderr or to a single file. However, it could be made extensible if someone were motivated to do so.
On the other hand, we are starting to add support for open telemetry. That might be a better option. You will need to build Arrow with open telemetry turned on (-DARROW_WITH_OPENTELEMETRY=ON) and then I don't know if you have to do anything beyond that, other than configuring OpenTelemetry globally. There is an environment variable (ARROW_TRACING_BACKEND) which, when set, will lead Arrow to configuring an exporter (e.g. you can set ARROW_TRACING_BACKEND=ostream to dump to console) but I'm not sure you need to do this if you configure the exporter in your parent application. -Weston On Tue, Jul 5, 2022 at 1:06 PM José Almeida <jose.alme...@simbioseventures.com> wrote: > > Hello guys, > > I am planning to add a log system into a c++ application that uses arrow > flight sql, and I saw that arrows provides some logging methods > (cpp/src/arrow/util/logging.h).
