Can we create each boost logger instance for each class object?

Question

I have using boost log for past three months. I am using boost logger as static in inside the class.

BoostLogger.h:

class CBoostLogger
{
private: 
  SharedPtr< SinkFileBackend > backend; 
  ...
public: 
  static src::wseverity_logger_mt< logging::trivial::severity_level > slg;
...
}

BoostLogger.cpp:

#include "BoostLogger.h"
////////////////////////////////////
//Global Declarations
////////////////////////////////////
src::wseverity_logger_mt< logging::trivial::severity_level > CBoostLogger::slg;

  But I want to create individual logger for individual class object.

  Is it possible to create?

  Give your suggestions?

Regards,
Arun

Several sources say that Boost logger can have multiple instances. You can read about this at this link or this link.

IMO I would use a single logger object and use specific messages to tell me from where the log entry originated, formated as follows: (file), (line of code), (method) log message;

E.g.: Main.cpp 25 main() : Warning, unable to open file.

Thanks. Assume that I am going to create I am having a class. In class, I create source::logger lg; as public. And in class constructor, I am creating file using add_file_log. Is it possible to write in individual files using different class objects. – Arun kumar Kalaiarasan Jun 28 '16 at 13:30
I used to write a single log file, then if really necessary I would parse the log file to extract the information I need, or I would use the search options from Notepad++ to filter out the results. – Ionut V. Jun 28 '16 at 14:36
