Why use a logger library and not just std::cout ?
I am currently looking at a well written code base. I notice the author uses https://github.com/abumq/easyloggingpp to log messages. Why might they have done that rather than just use std::cout or std::ofstream? The software doesn't really have performance constraints (most of the time it's just sleeping) nor is it networked. What do logging libraries offer and when would I decide to use one?

C++ Game Utility Libraries: for Game Dev Rustaceans
Alternatives are glog from Google is full-featured, like spdlog, while Plog offers a lightweight alternative. Both are worthy upgrades on using C++ built-in std::clog.

Logger design
From the usability and features I like plog a lot. Their code is on Github, maybe check how they've done it? You can also look at other libraries to get a feeling for different approaches.
What are some alternatives?
spdlog - Fast C++ logging library.
easyloggingpp - C++ logging library. It is extremely powerful, extendable, light-weight, fast performing, thread and type safe and consists of many built-in features. It provides ability to write logs in your own customized format. It also provide support for logging your classes, third-party libraries, STL and third-party containers etc.
glog - C++ implementation of the Google logging module
G3log - G3log is an asynchronous, "crash safe", logger that is easy to use with default logging sinks or you can add your own. G3log is made with plain C++14 (C++11 support up to release 1.3.2) with no external libraries (except gtest used for unit tests). G3log is made to be cross-platform, currently running on OSX, Windows and several Linux distros. See Readme below for details of usage.
Boost.Log - Boost Logging library
loguru - A lightweight C++ logging library
log4cplus - log4cplus is a simple to use C++ logging API providing thread-safe, flexible, and arbitrarily granular control over log management and configuration. It is modelled after the Java log4j API.
