+[Boost.Log v2](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/log/doc/html/index.html) provide incredible flexibility. Once the branch is merged, it would provide an extra insight into a context where log event was captured, namely, thread id, object instance id, total traffic counters, and class name (channel) in addition to existing severity level.
+
+Logging is configured via a [primitive file used by log setup](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/log/doc/html/log/detailed/utilities.html#log.detailed.utilities.setup.settings_file). Here is an example
+
+```ini
+# Comments are allowed. Comment line begins with the '#' character
+# and spans until the end of the line.
+
+# Logging core settings section. May be omitted if no parameters specified within it.
+[Core]
+DisableLogging=false
+#Filter="%Severity% > 3"
+
+# Sink settings sections
+[Sinks.Console]
+
+# Sink destination type
+Destination=Console
+
+# Sink-specific filter. Optional, by default no filter is applied.
+#Filter="%Target% contains \"MySink1\""
+#I2PControl
+#
+#< 1
+Filter="%Channel% = \"UPnP\" or %Channel% begins_with \"SAM\" or %Channel% ends_with \"Destination\" or %Severity% = error"
+
+# Formatter string. Optional, by default only log record message text is written.
+Format="(%Severity%) %Channel% - %Message%"
+
+# The flag shows whether the sink should be asynchronous
+Asynchronous=false
+
+# Enables automatic stream flush after each log record.
+AutoFlush=true
+
+[Sinks.File]
+Destination=TextFile
+FileName="C:/Users/me/Application Data/i2pd/i2p.log"
+#FileName=test.log
+AutoFlush=true
+#{Thread=%ThreadID%}
+#Format="%TimeStamp%,Thread=%ThreadID%,%Scope%,%Tag%,%Severity%,%Channel%,%Message%"
+#Format="%TimeStamp%,Thread=%ThreadID%,%Tag%,%Severity%,%Channel%,%Message%"
+#Format="%TimeStamp%,%ThreadID%,%Instance%,%Severity%,%Channel%,%Message%,%Sent%,%Received%"
+Format="%TimeStamp%;%ThreadID%;%Instance%;%Severity%;%Channel%;%Message%;%Sent%;%Received%"
+Asynchronous=false
+
+# [Sinks.Win]
+# # TODO: event mapping http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/libs/log/example/event_log/main.cpp & http://stackoverflow.com/a/8559295/673826
+# LogName=I2Pd
+# LogSource=i2pd
+# # otherwise would need access to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\I2Pd\i2pd
+# Registration=Never
+# Filter="%Tag% = \"info\""
+# Destination=SimpleEventLog
+
+# [Sinks.Lin]
+# Filter="%Tag% = \"info\""
+# Destination=Syslog
+
+# [Sinks.Dbg]
+# Filter="%Tag% = \"info\""
+# Destination=Debugger
+```
+Newer flexible format allows for various post-processing. e.g., with [R](https://www.r-project.org/)
+```r
+library(plyr)
+library(ggplot2)
+library(reshape2)
+library(gridExtra)
+
+setClass('boost.time')
+setAs("character", "boost.time", function(from) as.POSIXct(from, format="%Y-%b-%d %H:%M:%S"))
+x <- read.csv2( file.path( Sys.getenv("APPDATA"), "i2pd", "i2p.log"), header=FALSE,
+               col.names=c("ts", "thread", "inst", "level", "channel", "msg", "sent", "received"),
+               colClasses=c(ts="boost.time", thread='factor', msg='character'))
+
+xx <- rbind(
+  x[!duplicated(subset(x, select=c(sent,received))),],
+  tail(x,1)
+)
+sr <- melt(xx, 'ts', c('sent','received'))
+p1 <- qplot(ts, value, color=variable, data=sr, geom='line') +
+  ggtitle('traffic')
+q <- ddply(x, .(thread), function(xx) {
+  data.frame(ts=xx$ts, diff=as.double( diff(c(xx$ts,tail(x$ts,1))), units='mins' ))
+})
+
+qq <- subset(q, diff > 10)
+p2 <- qplot(ts, diff, color=thread, shape=thread, data=qq) +
+  scale_shape_manual(values=rep(1:4, len=length(levels(qq$thread)))) +
+  ggtitle('at least 10 min gaps in thread logging activity')
+
+tc <- ddply(na.omit(x), .(thread, channel), summarize, count=length(thread))
+p3 <- qplot(thread, channel, size=count, data=tc) +
+  scale_size(trans="log10") + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle = -15, hjust = 0)) +
+  ggtitle('threads and logging channels (classes)')
+
+grid.arrange(p1, p2, p3, ncol=1)
+```
