### Structured telemetry library for Clojure/Script
**Telemere** is a next-generation replacement for [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre). It handles **structured and traditional logging**, **tracing**, and **basic performance monitoring** with a simple unified API.
It helps enable Clojure/Script systems that are **observable**, **robust**, and **debuggable** - and it represents the refinement and culmination of ideas brewing over 12+ years in [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre), [Tufte](https://www.taoensso.com/tufte), [Truss](https://www.taoensso.com/truss), etc.
> [Terminology] *Telemetry* derives from the Greek *tele* (remote) and *metron* (measure). It refers to the collection of *in situ* (in position) data, for transmission to other systems for monitoring/analysis. *Logs* are the most common form of software telemetry. So think of telemetry as the *superset of logging-like activities* that help monitor and understand (software) systems.

See [here][GitHub releases] for earlier releases.
## Why Telemere?
#### Ergonomics
- Elegant, lightweight API that's **easy to use**, **easy to configure**, and **deeply flexible**.
- **Sensible defaults** to make getting started **fast and easy**.
- Extensive **beginner-oriented** [documentation][GitHub wiki], [docstrings](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso), and error messages.
#### Interop
- 1st-class **out-the-box interop** with [SLF4J v2](https://www.slf4j.org/), [clojure.tools.logging](https://github.com/clojure/tools.logging), [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/), and [Tufte](https://www.taoensso.com/tufte).
- Included [shim](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere.timbre) for easy/gradual [migration from Timbre](../../wiki/5-Migrating).
- Extensive set of [handlers](../../wiki/4-Handlers#included-handlers) included out-the-box.
#### Scaling
- Hyper-optimized and **blazing fast**, see [benchmarks](#benchmarks).
- An API that **scales comfortably** from the smallest disposable code, to the most massive and complex real-world production environments.
- Auto [handler stats](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/1.0.0-beta13/api/taoensso.telemere#get-handlers-stats) for debugging performance and other issues at scale.
#### Flexibility
- Config via plain **Clojure vals and fns** for easy customization, composition, and REPL debugging.
- Unmatched [environmental config](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:environmental-config) support: JVM properties, environment variables, or classpath resources. Per platform, or cross-platform.
- Unmatched [filtering](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:filters) support: by namespace, id pattern, level, level by namespace pattern, etc. At runtime and compile-time.
- Fully [configurable](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:handler-dispatch-options) **a/sync dispatch support**: blocking, dropping, sliding, etc.
- Turn-key **sampling**, **rate-limiting**, and **back-pressure monitoring** with sensible defaults.

## Quick examples
```clojure
(require '[taoensso.telemere :as t])
(t/log! {:id ::my-id, :data {:x1 :x2}} "My message") %>
;; 2024-04-11T10:54:57.202869Z INFO LOG Schrebermann.local examples(56,1) ::my-id - My message
;; data: {:x1 :x2}
(t/log! "This will send a `:log` signal to the Clj/s console")
(t/log! :info "This will do the same, but only when the current level is >= `:info`")
;; Easily construct messages
(let [x "constructed"] (t/log! :info ["Here's a" x "message!"]))
;; Attach an id
(t/log! {:level :info, :id ::my-id} "This signal has an id")
;; Attach arb user data
(t/log! {:level :info, :data {:x :y}} "This signal has structured data")
;; Capture for debug/testing
(t/with-signal (t/log! "This will be captured"))
;; => {:keys [location level id data msg_ ...]}
;; `:let` bindings available to `:data` and message, only paid for
;; when allowed by minimum level and other filtering criteria
(t/log!
{:level :info
:let [expensive-metric1 (last (for [x (range 100), y (range 100)] (* x y)))]
:data {:metric1 expensive-metric1}}
["Message with metric value:" expensive-metric1])
;; With sampling 50% and 1/sec rate limiting
(t/log!
{:sample-rate 0.5
:rate-limit {"1 per sec" [1 1000]}}
"This signal will be sampled and rate limited")
;;; A quick taste of filtering...
(t/set-ns-filter! {:disallow "taoensso.*" :allow "taoensso.sente.*"}) ; Set namespace filter
(t/set-id-filter! {:allow #{::my-particular-id "my-app/*"}}) ; Set id filter
(t/set-min-level! :warn) ; Set minimum level
(t/set-min-level! :log :debug) ; Set minimul level for `:log` signals
;; Set minimum level for `:event` signals originating in the "taoensso.sente.*" ns
(t/set-min-level! :event "taoensso.sente.*" :warn)
```

## Benchmarks
Telemere is **highly optimized** and offers terrific performance at any scale:
| Compile-time filtering? | Runtime filtering? | Time? | Trace? | nsecs |
| :---------------------: | :----------------: | :---: | :----: | ----: |
| ✓ (elide) | - | - | - | 0 |
| - | ✓ | - | - | 200 |
| - | ✓ | ✓ | - | 280 |
| - | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | 650 |
Measurements:
- Are **~nanoseconds per signal call** (= milliseconds per 1e6 calls)
- Exclude [handler runtime](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#get-handlers-stats) (which depends on handler/s, is usually async)
- Taken on a 2020 Macbook Pro M1, running OpenJDK 21
**Tip**: Telemere offers extensive [filtering](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:filters) support - including dead-easy per-signal and per-handler **sampling** and **rate-limiting**. Use these to ensure that you're not capturing useless/low-value information in production. See [here](../../wiki/7-Tips) for more tips!
