Installation

LogBox can be downloaded as a standalone framework or included with the latest ColdBox Platform release. The main difference between both versions is the instantiation and usage namespace; the rest is the same.

The best way to install LogBox is by using CommandBox CLI and package manager.

System Requirements

  • ColdFusion 2018+

  • Lucee 5+

ColdBox Installation

If you are using LogBox within a ColdBox application context, then LogBox is part of the platform. Just configure it via the config/LogBox.cfc and you are ready to roll.

Standalone Installation

You can leverage CommandBox to install the standalone version of LogBox

# Latest CommandBox
box install logbox

# Bleeding Edge
box install logbox@be

Mappings

You will need the following mappings that all point to the folder you installed logbox into:

this.mappings[ "/logbox" ] = "path.to.logbox";

This will ensure that the appropriate libraries can find each other.

If you can run the following snippet, then LogBox is installed correctly:

logbox = new logbox.system.logging.LogBox();

Namespaces

Standalone

logbox.system.logging

ColdBox

coldbox.system.logging
