configureLevels(cfg: LoggerLevelsConfig): void Static Set the log level for multiple categories at once.  
getLevel(category: string): undefined | LogLevel Static Get the minimum logging level for the specified category.  
getMetaData(metaData?: LoggingMetaData): object Static merge the supplied metadata with all static metadata into one object  
initialize(logError?: LogFunction, logWarning?: LogFunction, logInfo?: LogFunction, logTrace?: LogFunction): void Static Initialize the logger streams.  
initializeToConsole(): void Static Initialize the logger to output to the console.  
isEnabled(category: string, level: LogLevel): boolean Static Check if messages in the specified category should be displayed at this level of severity.  
logError(category: string, message: string, metaData?: LoggingMetaData): void Static Log the specified message to the error stream.

parseLogLevel(str: string): LogLevel Static Interpret a string as the name of a LogLevel  
setLevel(category: string, minLevel: LogLevel): void Static Set the minimum logging level for the specified category.  
setLevelDefault(minLevel: LogLevel): void Static Set the least severe level at which messages should be displayed by default.  
stringifyMetaData(metaData?: LoggingMetaData): string Static stringify the metadata for a log message by merging the supplied metadata with all static metadata into one object that is then JSON.stringifyed.  
turnOffCategories(): void Static Turns off all category level filters previously defined with setLevel.  
turnOffLevelDefault(): void Static Turns off the least severe level at which messages should be displayed by default.  
validateProps(config: any): void Static Check that the specified object is a valid LoggerLevelsConfig.
