Silence reqwest via Config

I am looking at ways to silence reqwest, see seanmonstar/reqwest#1578 (reply in thread).

Which led me to look at add_filter_ignore. However, I found nowhere in the documentation how to call add_filter_ignore on a Config::default().

This is my current code:

    let _ = CombinedLogger::init(vec![
        TermLogger::new(
            args.verbose.log_level_filter(),
            Config::default(),
            TerminalMode::Stdout,
            ColorChoice::Auto,
        ),
        WriteLogger::new(
            args.verbose.log_level_filter(),
            Config::default(),
            File::create(args.outfile.clone()).unwrap(),
        ),
    ]);

If you could help with this, that would be wonderful!

EDIT: I just managed to somehow silence reqwest, see the following, but surely there must be a more elegant solution - maybe using wildcards?

    let mut config_builder = ConfigBuilder::new();

    config_builder.add_filter_ignore_str("reqwest::connect");
    config_builder.add_filter_ignore_str("reqwest::async_impl::client");
    
    let _ = CombinedLogger::init(vec![
        TermLogger::new(
            args.verbose.log_level_filter(),
            config_builder.build(),
            TerminalMode::Stdout,
            ColorChoice::Auto,
        ),
        WriteLogger::new(
            args.verbose.log_level_filter(),
            config_builder.build(),
            File::create(args.outfile.clone()).unwrap(),
        ),
    ]);

Indeed, you can't do that. You are supposed to use the ConfigBuilder, if you want to adjust any default parameters. But it seems you figured that out already.

You can see the logic for skipping log messages here:

simplelog.rs/src/loggers/logging.rs

Line 226 in 95275c8

if !allowed.iter().any(|v| path.starts_with(&**v)) {

For simplicity and performance it is no fancy regex or anything supporting wildcards, but just a starts_with check for the path.
So something like this should be sufficient:

let config = ConfigBuilder::new()
    .add_filter_ignore_str("reqwest")
    .build();

(Config implements Clone if you want to use the same config for multiple loggers.)

Brilliant, thanks @Drakulix !
