Description

Appenders are attached to Loggers and manage the output of the LogEvents to a destination - such as the console or a text file. An Appender has a single Layout that tells it how to format the LogEvent. For details please refer to the documentations of the specific Appenders.

Additional Appenders that support a wide range of output destinations - such as databases, email, push-notifications or Linux syslog - are available from the package lgrExtra.

NOTE: This is an abstract class. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated directly, but are exported for package developers that want to extend lgr - for example by creating their own Appenders or Layouts. Please refer to the see also section for actual implementations of this class.
