This is useful for avoiding computation when logging is inactive.

Usage

is_logging_enabled(severity = "info", logger = NULL)

Arguments

severity: Check if logs are emitted at this severity level.
logger: Logger object (otel_logger), or a logger name, the instrumentation scope, to pass to get_logger().

Value

Details

It calls get_logger() with name and then it calls the logger's $is_enabled() method.
