The identification of the source of a log and trace message is done with a pair of Application ID and Context ID. It is composed by four 8 bit ASCII characters.
Control Message | A control message is send by a connected client application (e.g. Log Viewer) to the DLT Daemon that includes an action request. E.g. change the Log level of a certain application).
DLT Daemon | The DLT Daemon is the central component which receives all logs and traces from the DLT user applications. The DLT Daemon forwards all logs and traces to a connected DLT client (e.g. Log Viewer) or stores them optionally in a file on the target.
+DLT Library | Provides applications (esp. DLT users) with an API to produce DLT messages and to handle DLT Control Messages accordingly.
+DLT User | A DLT User is a type of application that produces log messages. It typically uses the DLT library to produce the messages and resembles an ECU.
DLT Viewer | The DLT Viewer is the GENIVI Log Viewer implementation. It is a Qt-based desktop application able to run on Windows and Linux operating systems. Further information and source code can be found here: https://github.com/GENIVI/dlt-viewer
Gateway DLT Daemon | In a Multi-Node system, the DLT Daemon running on the Node directly connected to a Log Viewer is called Gateway DLT Daemon (if configured as Gateway). It forwards log messages from Passive DLT Daemons to Log Viewers and command/control messages from Log Viewer(s) to Passive DLT Daemon(s).
