Logging class critique

I am looking for people to take a look at my Logging class and see if there are any things structure wise or anything else they would do different. I have 3 basic approaches... 1. Log is a singleton class. You can get the instance by calling "getInstance()". 2. Log is mainly manipulated by using operator<<. You can put in numbers, strings, objects that are loggable, LogLevels and LogOptions. LogOptions put predefined Input into the Log (e.g. Stacktrace) , perform predefined actions (e.g. write log to file) or put the Log into states in which it expects certain types of input (e.g. name of logfile). 3. The entire Log is stored in a single std::string. /* Example usage of Log.h Appends a LogEntry to the Log with Warning LogLevel, a Timestamp, the message "This is a warning!" and a Stacktrace. This LogEntry is printed to console and written to the default logfile "stdlog.txt". */ Log::getInstance() << LogOption::PTC << LogLevel::WARNING << LogOption::TIMESTAMP << "This is a warning!" << LogOption::STACKTRACE << LogOption::END << LogOption::WTF; // This is the console output from main function executed in Visual Studio 2019 /* WARNING | Wed Aug 7 13:40:09 2019 | This is a warning! 0# boost::stacktrace::basic_stacktrace<std::allocator<boost::stacktrace::frame> >::init at C:\Programming\Libraries\boost_1_70_0\boost\stacktrace\stacktrace.hpp:75 1# ProjectSpace::Log::operator<< at C:\Programming\Projekte\ProjectSpace\src\header\Log.h:176 2# main at C:\Programming\Projekte\ProjectSpace\src\main.cpp:122 3# __scrt_common_main_seh at d:\agent\_work\1\s\src\vctools\crt\vcstartup\src\startup\exe_common.inl:288 4# BaseThreadInitThunk in KERNEL32 5# RtlUserThreadStart in ntdll*/ // Log.h #pragma once #include <string> #include <ctime> #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <algorithm> #include <boost/stacktrace.hpp> #include "Logable.h" /* _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS is defined because of C's Time functions. https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/cpp/c-runtime-library/security-features-in-the-crt?view=vs-2019 TODO: Seperate Thread for Logging ?

Since the Code at the top is a bit long and I am changing it, here is the link to the GitHub page: https://github.com/Dante3085/ProjectSpace/blob/developer/src/header/Log.h

I have added a small logging channels system.
Example: Log::getInstance() << LogOption::CH_ANIM << "This is going into the Animation channel" << LogOption::WTF;
First switch to Animation Channel. Put in the given message. Then write out the contents of the Animation channel into
the default logfile for that channel " animationLogChannel.txt ".
