Text Logger Backend#

The text backend is the default OpenFactory logging backend.

It writes human-readable log messages to the standard output.

Example output:

[APP] (2026-07-16 14:32:18) INFO Application started

The text backend is primarily intended for local development and interactive use.

Configuration#

The text backend is selected by setting the following environment variable:

OPENFACTORY_LOG_BACKEND=text

Human-readable log files#

By default, log messages are written only to the standard output.

The OPENFACTORY_TEXT_LOG_DIRECTORY environment variable is ignored by this backend because the primary output is already human-readable. If file-based logging is required, standard operating system or container logging facilities should be used.
