Terminal Visual Examples

This page shows example output produced by XenoAtom.Logging.Terminal.

Actual colors and style intensity depend on terminal capabilities and your configured styles.

Default style example

2026-02-09 18:21:04.7253194 INF Sample.App: Service started
2026-02-09 18:21:04.7319831 WRN Sample.App: Queue latency above threshold
2026-02-09 18:21:04.7424107 ERR Sample.App [42]: Failed to process request
System.InvalidOperationException: boom

Markup message example

2026-02-09 18:21:04.7501062 INF Sample.Terminal: ready worker=api-1
2026-02-09 18:21:04.7529450 ERR Sample.Terminal: failed request=REQ-0042

The underlying message payload can include markup tags (for example [green]ready[/]), and TerminalLogWriter renders them when EnableMarkupMessages is enabled.

Visual attachment example

You can attach XenoAtom.Terminal.UI.Visual objects directly to log calls:

var table = new Table()
    .Headers("Step", "Status", "Duration")
    .AddRow("Initialize", "OK", "00:00.045")
    .AddRow("ProcessRequest", "FAILED", "00:00.003");

logger.Info(table, "Run summary");
logger.InfoMarkup(table, "[bold]Run summary (styled)[/]");

Rendered output:

2026-02-09 18:21:04.7604120 INF Sample.Terminal: Run summary
┌───────────────┬────────┬───────────┐
│ Step          │ Status │ Duration  │
├───────────────┼────────┼───────────┤
│ Initialize    │ OK     │ 00:00.045 │
│ ProcessRequest│ FAILED │ 00:00.003 │
└───────────────┴────────┴───────────┘

Style customization sample
