/**
  *  \page LoggingDoc ArmarX Logging
  *
  *  Every output in ArmarX should be done with the built-in logging features.
  *  The ArmarX logging facilities are
  *  available anytime and anywhere in the code and should be used
  *  instead of std::cout or printf().<br/>
  *  ArmarX Logging provides the following main features:
  *  \li usable like std::cout
  *  \li stores meta data like file, line, time, who etc.
  *  \li offers several different log levels (from debug to fatal)
  *  \li can log backtraces
  *  \li provides logs over network (Ice)
  *  \li LogViewer (GUI) which works through Ice
  *  \li thread safety
  *  \li console coloring
  *  \li redirection of std::cout/cerr to ArmarX log
  *
  *  \section LoggingDoc-Usage How to use the ArmarX logging facilities
  *
  *  For logging there are a few macros available (e.g. "ARMARX_INFO"). They all
  *  begin with "ARMARX_". Followed by the log level (e.g. "ARMARX_INFO").
  *  <br/>
  *
  *  An example looks like this:<br/>
  *  \code
  *     ARMARX_INFO << "cycle time dropped below " << 1 << " fps in Capturer";
  *  \endcode
  *
  *  After the c++-line has ended (i.e. after the semi-colon), the data is written
  *  as <b>one entry</b> into the log.
  *
  *  To be able use the logging facilities, one has to include the file <ArmarXCore/core/logging/Logging.h>.<p/>
  *
  *  If you want to use all logging features, you need to let your class inherit from armarx::Logging.
  *  Then features like tagging and spam-deactivation are available.
  *
  *  \note To log inside a static function of a class inheriting from Logging, you have to
  *  use the logging macros ending on _S, e.g. ARMARX_INFO_S.
  *
  *  \note If the current minimum log-level is below the used log level, the output string calculation is completly skipped.
  *  This means no code with effect on any variable should be put into the logging-code-line.
  *  This also means it is performance-wise safe to have a lot debug messages in the code.
  *
  *  The main features in detail:
  *  \li <b>usable like std::cout</b><br/>
  *      The usage of ArmarX logging works like std::cout. That means after the macro (e.g.
  *      "ARMARX_INFO") follows the streaming operator (<<). There are conversions
  *      for all of the standard types available like with std::cout and some
  *      additional types (e.g. std::vector, QString in Gui). These can be easily
  *      extended by overloading/specializing the armarx::LogSender::operator<< <T>().
  *  \li <b>stores meta data like file, line, time, who etc.</b><br/>
  *      At the moment the logging stores the following meta data: time, tag, log-level,
  *      Ice-component, file, line, function, threadId and backtrace (for log-level
  *      eWARN and above).
  *  \li <b>offers several different log levels (from debug to fatal)</b><br>
  *      There are 5 log levels available. In order of increasing severity:
  *      debug, verbose, info, warning, error, fatal (The corresponding macros are:
  *      ARMARX_DEBUG, ARMARX_VERBOSE, ARMARX_INFO, ARMARX_WARNING, ARMARX_ERROR, ARMARX_FATAL).
  *  \li <b>can log backtraces</b><br>
  *      For the log levels warning and above a backtrace is stored in the meta data.
  *      For lower levels the backtrace is empty to reduce the network traffic.<br/>
  *      The backtrace is not shown in the console, only in the LogViewer.
  *  \li <b>provides logs over network (Ice)</b><br/>
  *      All log output is automatically streamed via Ice, if an Ice connection is available.<br/>
  *      If the connection is not established yet, all log outputs are buffered locally
  *      until the connection is ready.<br/>
  *      The logging facilties are using the publish-subscribe-methodology of Ice for this,
  *      so potential log-viewers can just subscribe to the topic "Log"(Type: LogPrx).
  *  \li <b>LogViewer (GUI)</b><br/>
  *      The LogViewer is an ArmarX Gui Widget, that provides a comfortable
  *      access to the logs. It offers the possibility to define custom filters, to split
  *      the data in several logs, to search quickly through the log file and much more.
  *  \li <b>thread safety</b><br/>
  *      As opposed to std::cout the ArmarX logging facilities are thread safe.
  *      So there is no mixing of log entries of different threads.
  *  \li <b>console coloring</b><br/>
  *      If activated (default) the output on the console of different log levels
  *      is colorized. Additionally, the user can just use the streaming operator <<
  *      and the LogSender color enum (e.g. LogSender::eGreen) to set the color
  *      for the current output message.
  *
