    `msg` - A `String` specifying the message to be written to the log file

### start

    public void start()
               throws LifecycleException

  Prepare for the beginning of active use of the public methods of this component. This method should be called after `configure()`, and before any of the public methods of the component are utilized.

  Specified by:
    `start` in interface `Lifecycle`
  Overrides:
    `start` in class `LoggerBase`
  Throws:
    `LifecycleException` - if this component detects a fatal error that prevents this component from being used
