   <description>
-    <p>
-      This module is the main API for logging in Erlang/OTP. It
-      contains functions that allow applications to use a single log
-      API and the system to manage those log events independently. Use
-      the <seealso marker="#emergency-1">API functions</seealso> or the log
-      <seealso marker="#macros">macros</seealso> to log events. For instance,
-      to log a new error event:</p>
-      <code>
-?LOG_ERROR("error happened because: ~p",[Reason]). %% With macro
-logger:error("error happened because: ~p",[Reason]). %% Without macro
-      </code>
-      <p>This log event is then sent to the configured log handlers which
-      by default means that it is be printed to the console. If you want
-      your systems logs to be printed to a file instead of the console you
-      must configure the default handler to do so. The simplest way is
-      to include the following in your <seealso marker="config"><c>sys.config</c></seealso>.</p>
+    <p>This module implements the main API for logging in
+      Erlang/OTP. To create a log event, use the
+      <seealso marker="#logging_API">API functions</seealso> or the
+      log
+      <seealso marker="#macros">macros</seealso>, for example:</p>
+    <code>
+?LOG_ERROR("error happened because: ~p", [Reason]).   % With macro
+logger:error("error happened because: ~p", [Reason]). % Without macro
+    </code>
+    <p>To configure the Logger backend,

+      parameters</seealso>
+      or <seealso marker="#configuration_API">configuration
+      functions</seealso> in the Logger API.</p>
+
+    <p>By default, the Kernel application installs one log handler at
+      system start. This handler is named <c>default</c>. It receives
+      and processes standard log events produced by the Erlang runtime
+      system, standard behaviours and different Erlang/OTP
+      applications. The log events are by default printed to the
+      terminal.</p>
+    <p>If you want your systems logs to be printed to a file instead,
+      you must configure the default handler to do so. The simplest
+      way is to include the following in
+      your <seealso marker="config"><c>sys.config</c></seealso>:</p>

-	<p>The log level for a module overrides the global log level

-	<p>For example: Assume that the global log level for Logger

-	  level <c>info</c> and one handler, <c>h2</c>, with
-	  level <c>debug</c>.</p>
-	<p>With this configuration, no debug messages will be logged,
-	  since they are all stopped by the global log level.</p>
-	<p>If the level for <c>mymodule</c> is now set
-	  to <c>debug</c>, then debug events from this module will be
-	  logged by the handler <c>h2</c>, but not by
-	  handler <c>h1</c>.</p>

-	<note>
-	  <p>The originating module for a log event is only detected
-	    if <c>mfa=>{Module,Function,Arity}</c> exists in the

-	    automatically added to all log events. If an API function

+	<p>The log level for a module overrides the primary log level

+	<p>For example: Assume that the primary log level for Logger

+	  level <c>info</c> and one handler, <c>h2</c>, with
+	  level <c>debug</c>.</p>
+	<p>With this configuration, no debug messages will be logged,

+	<p>If the level for <c>mymodule</c> is now set

+	<p>Debug events from other modules are still not logged.</p>
+        <p>To change the primary log level for Logger, use

+	  <p>The originating module for a log event is only detected
+	    if the key <c>mfa</c> exists in the metadata, and is

     <p>When starting an Erlang node, the default behaviour is that all
-      log events with level info and above are logged to the
-      terminal. In order to also log debug events, you can either
-      change the global log level to <c>debug</c> or add a separate
-      handler to take care of this. In this example we will add a new
-      handler which prints the debug events to a separate file.</p>
-    <p>First, we add an instance of <c>logger_std_h</c> with
-      type <c>{file,File}</c>, and we set the handler's level
-      to <c>debug</c>:</p>
+      log events on level info or more severe, are logged to the
+      terminal via the default handler. To also log debug events, you
+      can either change the primary log level to <c>debug</c>:</p>
     <pre>
-1> <input>Config = #{level => debug, logger_std_h => #{type => {file,"./debug.log"}}}.</input>
-#{logger_std_h => #{type => {file,"./debug.log"}},
-  level => debug}

+1> <input>logger:set_primary_config(level, debug).</input>

-      (<c>filter_default=log</c>, see
-      section <seealso marker="#filters">Filters</seealso> for more
-      details), so we need to add a filter to stop all non-debug
-      events. The built-in

 ok</pre>
-    <p>And finally, we need to make sure that Logger itself allows
-      debug events. This can either be done by setting the global
-      log level:</p>
+    <p>This allows debug events to pass through to the default handler,
+      and be printed to the terminal as well. If there are many debug
+      events, it can be useful to print these to a file instead.</p>
+    <p>First, set the log level of the default handler to <c>info</c>,
+      preventing it from printing debug events to the terminal:</p>
     <pre>
-4> <input>logger:set_logger_config(level,debug).</input>
+3> <input>logger:set_handler_config(default, level, info).</input>
 ok</pre>
-    <p>Or by allowing debug events from one or a few modules only:</p>
+    <p>Then, add a new handler which prints to file. You can use the
+      handler
+      module <seealso marker="logger_std_h"><c>logger_std_h</c></seealso>,
+      and specify type <c>{file,File}</c>. The default handler level
+      is <c>all</c>, so you don't need to specify that:</p>
+    <pre>
+4> <input>Config = #{config => #{type => {file,"./debug.log"}}}.</input>
+#{config => #{type => {file,"./debug.log"}}}
+5> <input>logger:add_handler(debugger, logger_std_h, Config).</input>
+ok</pre>
+    <p>Since <c>filter_default</c> defaults to <c>log</c>, this
+      handler now receives all log events. If you want debug events
+      only in the file, you must add a filter to stop all non-debug
+      events. The built-in
+      filter <seealso marker="logger_filters#level-2">
+	<c>logger_filters:level/2</c></seealso>
+      can do this:</p>
     <pre>
