Set-default-min-level

Update the minimum level used by the shared default logger returned by default_logger() and consumed by the global log(...), info(...), warn(...), and similar helpers.

Interface

pub fn set_default_min_level(level : Level) -> Unit {}

input

• level : Level - New minimum level for the shared default logger configuration.

output

• Unit - No return value. The stored default threshold is updated for later global calls.

Explanation

Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors

• The function updates the internal Ref[Level] used by default_logger().
• It does not mutate any separately stored Logger values that were created earlier.
• Later calls to default_logger() and the global logging shortcuts observe the new threshold.
• Any explicit logger value that was already created earlier keeps the threshold it captured at creation time.
• This is the main API for adjusting process-wide default severity without building a custom logger variable.

How to Use

Here are some specific examples provided.

When Raise Global Threshold In Production

When verbose logs should be suppressed process-wide:

set_default_min_level(Level::Warn)

In this example, later global info(...) calls are skipped while warn(...) and error(...) remain active.

When Enable Temporary Debug Visibility

When diagnostics should be turned on for a session:

set_default_min_level(Level::Debug)
debug("cache probe enabled")

In this example, the shared global path starts accepting debug records.

Earlier explicit logger values still keep whatever default threshold they captured before this change.

Error Case

e.g.:

• If the level is set too high, lower-severity global writes are intentionally skipped.

• Existing custom Logger instances keep their own thresholds and are not retroactively changed.

Notes

1. This API only affects the shared default logger workflow.

2. Call default_logger() again after changing the default if a fresh explicit logger value should reflect the new threshold.

3. Prefer explicit logger instances when different subsystems need different thresholds at the same time.
