Working with custom markers

It is possible to create your own custom LoggingMarker class. In your class, add your own marker types as constants, using PLLoggingMarker as an example.

Consider the following general guidelines in working with custom markers:
  • If you plan to reuse a marker type multiple times, add the marker type to a custom LoggingMarker class.
  • If you plan to use a marker a single time only, create a single-use marker using one of the following class methods:
    • PLloggingMarker.marker
    • MarkerFactory.getMarker
