57=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
58
59Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
60(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
61priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
62numerical value".
63
64Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
65
66 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
67 1 fatal emerg exit aborts program!
68 2 alert
69 3 critical crit
70 4 error err die
71 5 warn warning
72 6 note notice
73 7 info
74 8 debug
75 9 trace
76
77As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
78is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
79and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting that you log C<die> messages
80at C<error> priority.
81
82You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
83(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
84program - so use it sparingly :)
85
86Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
87or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

406The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up 435The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the

437from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower

411Splitting the top level context into three contexts makes it easy to set 441This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
412a global logging level (by modifying the root context), but still allow 442but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
413other contexts to log, for example, their debug and trace messages to the
414default target despite the global logging level, or to attach additional 443messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
415log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging level. 444additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
445level.
416 446
417It also makes it easy to replace the default warn-logger by something that 447It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
418logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets. 448something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
