This is just a data model and no support is provided for +logging IO, applications can decide themselves the most appropriate method. + +The crate uses Serde for conversion between Rust and JSON. + +[qlog main schema]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-marx-qlog-main-schema +[qlog QUIC and HTTP/3 events]: https://quiclog.github.io/internet-drafts/draft-marx-qlog-event-definitions-quic-h3 +[TypeScript schema]: https://github.com/quiclog/qlog/blob/master/TypeScript/draft-01/QLog.ts + +Overview +-------- +qlog is a hierarchical logging format, with a rough structure of: + +* Log + * Trace(s) + * Event(s) + +In practice, a single QUIC connection maps to a single Trace file with one +or more Events. Applications can decide whether to combine Traces from +different connections into the same Log. + +## Traces + +A [`Trace`] contains metadata such as the [`VantagePoint`] of capture and +the [`Configuration`] of the `Trace`. + +A very important part of the `Trace` is the definition of `event_fields`. A +qlog Event is a vector of [`EventField`]; this provides great flexibility to +log events with any number of `EventFields` in any order. The `event_fields` +property describes the format of event logging and it is important that +events comply with that format. Failing to do so it going to cause problems +for qlog analysis tools. For information is available at +https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-marx-qlog-main-schema-01#section-3.3.4 + +In order to make using qlog a bit easier, this crate expects a qlog Event to +consist of the following EventFields in the following order: +[`EventField::RelativeTime`], [`EventField::Category`], +[`EventField::Event`] and [`EventField::Data`]. A set of methods are +provided to assist in creating a Trace and appending events to it in this +format. + +## Writing out logs +As events occur during the connection, the application appends them to the +trace. The qlog crate supports two modes of writing logs: the buffered mode +stores everything in memory and requires the application to serialize and write +the output, the streaming mode progressively writes serialized JSON output to a +writer designated by the application. + +Buffered Mode +--------------- + +Create the trace: + +```rust +let mut trace = qlog::Trace::new( + qlog::VantagePoint { + name: Some("Example client".to_string()), + ty: qlog::VantagePointType::Client, + flow: None, + }, + Some("Example qlog trace".to_string()), + Some("Example qlog trace description".to_string()), + Some(qlog::Configuration { + time_offset: Some("0".to_string()), + time_units: Some(qlog::TimeUnits::Ms), + original_uris: None, + }), + None, +); +``` + +### Adding events + +Qlog Events are added to `qlog::Trace.events`. + +It is recommended to use the provided utility methods to append semantically +valid events to a trace. However, there is nothing preventing you from +creating the events manually. + +The following example demonstrates how to log a QUIC packet +containing a single Crypto frame. It uses the [`QuicFrame::crypto()`], +[`packet_sent_min()`] and [`push_event()`] methods to create and log a +PacketSent event and its EventData. + +```rust +let scid = [0x7e, 0x37, 0xe4, 0xdc, 0xc6, 0x68, 0x2d, 0xa8]; +let dcid = [0x36, 0xce, 0x10, 0x4e, 0xee, 0x50, 0x10, 0x1c]; + +let pkt_hdr = qlog::PacketHeader::new( + 0, + Some(1251), + Some(1224), + Some(0xff00001b), + Some(b"7e37e4dcc6682da8"), + Some(&dcid), +); + +let frames = + vec![qlog::QuicFrame::crypto("0".to_string(), "1000".to_string())]; + +let event = qlog::event::Event::packet_sent_min( + qlog::PacketType::Initial, + pkt_hdr, + Some(frames), +); + +trace.push_event(std::time::Duration::new(0, 0), event); +``` + +### Serializing + +The qlog crate has only been tested with `serde_json`, however other serializer +targets might work. + +For example, serializing the trace created above: + +```rust +serde_json::to_string_pretty(&trace).unwrap(); +``` + +would generate the following: + +``` +{ + "vantage_point": { + "name": "Example client", + "type": "client" + }, + "title": "Example qlog trace", + "description": "Example qlog trace description", + "configuration": { + "time_units": "ms", + "time_offset": "0" + }, + "event_fields": [ + "relative_time", + "category", + "event", + "data" + ], + "events": [ + [ + "0", + "transport", + "packet_sent", + { + "packet_type": "initial", + "header": { + "packet_number": "0", + "packet_size": 1251, + "payload_length": 1224, + "version": "0xff00001b", + "scil": "8", + "dcil": "8", + "scid": "7e37e4dcc6682da8", + "dcid": "36ce104eee50101c" + }, + "frames": [ + { + "frame_type": "crypto", + "offset": "0", + "length": "100", + } + ] + } + ] + ] +} +``` + +Streaming Mode +--------------- + +Create the trace: + +```rust +let mut trace = qlog::Trace::new( + qlog::VantagePoint { + name: Some("Example client".to_string()), + ty: qlog::VantagePointType::Client, + flow: None, + }, + Some("Example qlog trace".to_string()), + Some("Example qlog trace description".to_string()), + Some(qlog::Configuration { + time_offset: Some("0".to_string()), + time_units: Some(qlog::TimeUnits::Ms), + original_uris: None, + }), + None, +); +``` + +Create an object with the [`Write`] trait: + +```rust +let mut file = std::fs::File::create("foo.qlog").unwrap(); +``` + +Create a [`QlogStreamer`] and start serialization to foo.qlog +using [`start_log()`]: + +```rust +let mut streamer = qlog::QlogStreamer::new( + qlog::QLOG_VERSION.to_string(), + Some("Example qlog".to_string()), + Some("Example qlog description".to_string()), + None, + std::time::Instant::now(), + trace, + Box::new(file), +); + +streamer.start_log().ok(); + +``` + +### Adding simple events + +Once logging has started you can stream events. Simple events can be written in +one step using [`add_event()`]: + +```rust +let event = qlog::event::Event::metrics_updated_min(); +streamer.add_event(event).ok(); +``` + +### Adding events with frames +Some events contain optional arrays of QUIC frames. If the event has +`Some(Vec<QuicFrame>)`, even if it is empty, the streamer enters a frame +serializing mode that must be finalized before other events can be logged. + +In this example, a PacketSent event is created with an empty frame array and +frames are written out later: + +```rust +let qlog_pkt_hdr = qlog::PacketHeader::with_type( + qlog::PacketType::OneRtt, + 0, + Some(1251), + Some(1224), + Some(0xff00001b), + Some(b"7e37e4dcc6682da8"), + Some(b"36ce104eee50101c"), +); + +let event = qlog::event::Event::packet_sent_min( + qlog::PacketType::OneRtt, + qlog_pkt_hdr, + Some(Vec::new()), +); + +streamer.add_event(event).ok(); + +``` + +In this example, the frames contained in the QUIC packet +are PING and PADDING. Each frame is written using the +[`add_frame()`] method. Frame writing is concluded with +[`finish_frames()`]. + +```rust +let ping = qlog::QuicFrame::ping(); +let padding = qlog::QuicFrame::padding(); + +streamer.add_frame(ping, false).ok(); +streamer.add_frame(padding, false).ok(); + +streamer.finish_frames().ok(); +``` + +Once all events have have been written, the log +can be finalized with [`finish_log()`]: + +```rust +streamer.finish_log().ok(); +``` + +### Serializing + +Serialization to JSON occurs as methods on the [`QlogStreamer`] +are called.
