      Defines the default file formatter as : LOG_LEVEL : message

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getWarningLogLevel

          public Level getWarningLogLevel()

      Returns the log level above which MaDKit warnings are displayed for the corresponding agent.
      Returns:
        the warningLogLevel of the corresponding agent

    - #### setWarningLogLevel

          public void setWarningLogLevel(Level warningLogLevel)

      Sets the agent's log level above which MaDKit warnings are displayed
      Parameters:
        `warningLogLevel` - the log level to set

    - #### createLogFile

          public void createLogFile()

      Creates a log file for this logger. This file will be located in the directory specified by the MaDKit property `Madkit.Option.logDirectory`, which is set to "logs" by default.

    - #### addHandler

          public void addHandler(Handler handler)

        `msg` - The string message
