61 79
80The module is also usable before AnyEvent itself is initialised, in which
81case some of the functionality might be reduced.
82
83The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the runtime part
84of the module is still just below 300 lines of code.
85
86=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
87
88Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
89(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
90priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
91numerical value".
92
93Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
94
95 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
96 1 fatal emerg exit system unusable, aborts program!
97 2 alert failure in primary system
98 3 critical crit failure in backup system
99 4 error err die non-urgent program errors, a bug
100 5 warn warning possible problem, not necessarily error
101 6 note notice unusual conditions
102 7 info normal messages, no action required
103 8 debug debugging messages for development
104 9 trace copious tracing output
105
106As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
107is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
108and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting (only!) that you log C<die>
109messages at C<error> priority. The NOTE column tries to provide some
110rationale on how to chose a logging level.
111
112As a rough guideline, levels 1..3 are primarily meant for users of the
113program (admins, staff), and are the only ones logged to STDERR by
114default. Levels 4..6 are meant for users and developers alike, while
115levels 7..9 are usually meant for developers.
116
117You can normally only log a message once at highest priority level (C<1>,
118C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the program - so
119use it sparingly :)
120
121For example, a program that finds an unknown switch on the commandline
122might well use a fatal logging level to tell users about it - the "system"
123in this case would be the program, or module.
124
125Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
126or C<all> - these are only valid for the methods that documented them.

446By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
447eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
448true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
449time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
450that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
451
452This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
453
454Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before the L<AnyEvent> has been
455initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
456C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
457available.

379When the module is first loaded, it configures the root context (the one 510When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
380with the empty string) to simply dump all log messages to C<STDERR>, 511context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
381and sets it's log level set to all levels up to the one specified by 512anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
382C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. 513a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
514additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
515
516It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
517purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
518than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
519C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
520is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
521
522Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
523and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
524leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
525messages system-wide.
526
527The hierarchy is then:
528
529 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
383 530
384The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the 531The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
385root context and will be logged to STDERR if their log level is less than 532C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
386or equal to C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. 533from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
534priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
535to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
387 536
537This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
538but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
539messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
540additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
541level.
542
543It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
544something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
545(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

737=item $ctx->cap ($level)
738
739Caps the maximum priority to the given level, for all messages logged
740to, or passing through, this context. That is, while this doesn't affect
741whether a message is logged or passed on, the maximum priority of messages
742will be limited to the specified level - messages with a higher priority
743will be set to the specified priority.
744
745Another way to view this is that C<< ->level >> filters out messages with
746a too low priority, while C<< ->cap >> modifies messages with a too high
747priority.
748
749This is useful when different log targets have different interpretations
750of priority. For example, for a specific command line program, a wrong
751command line switch might well result in a C<fatal> log message, while the
752same message, logged to syslog, is likely I<not> fatal to the system or
753syslog facility as a whole, but more likely a mere C<error>.
754
755This can be modeled by having a stderr logger that logs messages "as-is"
756and a syslog logger that logs messages with a level cap of, say, C<error>,
757or, for truly system-critical components, actually C<critical>.

940Sets the C<log_cb> to simply use C<CORE::warn> to report any messages
941(usually this logs to STDERR).
942
943=item $ctx->log_to_file ($path)
944
945Sets the C<log_cb> to log to a file (by appending), unbuffered.
946
947=item $ctx->log_to_path ($path)
948
949Same as C<< ->log_to_file >>, but opens the file for each message. This
950is much slower, but allows you to change/move/rename/delete the file at
951basically any time.
952
953Needless(?) to say, if you do not want to be bitten by some evil person
954calling C<chdir>, the path should be absolute. Doesn't help with
955C<chroot>, but hey...
956
957=item $ctx->log_to_syslog ([$facility])
958
959Logs all messages via L<Sys::Syslog>, mapping C<trace> to C<debug> and
960all the others in the obvious way. If specified, then the C<$facility> is
961used as the facility (C<user>, C<auth>, C<local0> and so on). The default
962facility is C<user>.
963
964Note that this function also sets a C<fmt_cb> - the logging part requires
965an array reference with [$level, $str] as input.

1071=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
1072
1073Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
1074C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
1075
1076The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
1077by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
1078context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
1079configuration directives, here are some examples:
1080
1081 # set default logging level
1082 filter=warn
1083
1084 # log to file instead of to stderr
1085 log=file=/tmp/mylog
1086
1087 # log to file in addition to stderr
1088 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
1089
1090 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
1091 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1092
1093 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1094 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1095
1096A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1097
1098=over 4
1099
1100=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1101
1102Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1103C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1104
1105=item C<%name>
1106
1107Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1108name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1109default they have no attached slaves.
1110
1111=item a perl package name
1112
1113Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1114Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1115context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1116C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1117
1118=back
1119
1120The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1121
1122=over 4
1123
1124=item C<stderr>
1125
1126Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1127logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1128
1129=item C<file=>I<path>
1130
1131Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1132C<log_to_file>.
1133
1134=item C<path=>I<path>
1135
1136Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1137C<log_to_path>.
1138
1139=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1140
1141Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1142evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1143
1144 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1145
1146=item C<nolog>
1147
1148Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1149default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1150
1151=item C<cap=>I<level>
1152
1153Caps logging messages entering this context at the given level, i.e.
1154reduces the priority of messages with higher priority than this level. The
1155default is C<0> (or C<off>), meaning the priority will not be touched.
1156
1157=item C<0> or C<off>
1158
1159Sets the logging level of the context to C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1160filtered out.
1161
1162=item C<all>
1163
1164Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1165off (the default).
1166
1167=item C<only>
1168
1169Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1170level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1171
1172Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1173
1174 context=only,debug
1175
1176=item C<except>
1177
1178Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1179level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1180
1181Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1182nonsensical).
1183
1184 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1185
1186=item C<level>
1187
1188Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1189level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1190message". This is the default.
1191
1192Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1193
1194 filter=warn
1195
1196 # or, more verbose
1197 filter=only,level,warn
1198
1199=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1200
1201A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1202to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1203specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1204
1205=item C<+>I<context>
1206
1207Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1208
1209=item C<+>
1210
1211A lone C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1212context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1213but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1214
1215Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1216default log collector.
1217
1218 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1219
1220=back
1221
1222Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1223usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1224spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1225
1226 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1227
1228Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1229specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1230
1231 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1232 filter=warn
1233 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1234 %trace=only,trace,+log
1235 " myprog
1236
1237Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1238use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1239module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1240
1241 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
1242

1299=head1 EXAMPLES
1300
1301This section shows some common configurations, both as code, and as
1302C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> string.
1303
1304=over 4
1305
1306=item Setting the global logging level.
1307
1308Either put C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=><number> into your environment before
1309running your program, use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> or modify the log level of
1310the root context at runtime:
1311
1312 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
1313
1314 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=warn
1315
1316 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
1317
1318=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
1319
1320This is affected by the global logging level.
1321
1322 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path);
1323
1324 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=file=/some/path
1325
1326=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
1327
1328This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
1329it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
1330filtering.
1331
1332 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach (
1333 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1334
1335 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=+%filelogger:%filelogger=file=/some/path
1336
1337This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
1338attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
1339the global filtering.
1340
1341 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
1342 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1343
1344 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=%filelogger=file=/some/path:collect=+%filelogger
1345
1346In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
1347
1348=item Additionally log all messages with C<warn> and higher priority to
1349C<syslog>, but cap at C<error>.
1350
1351This logs all messages to the default log target, but also logs messages
1352with priority C<warn> or higher (and not filtered otherwise) to syslog
1353facility C<user>. Messages with priority higher than C<error> will be
1354logged with level C<error>.
1355
1356 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->attach (
1357 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
1358 level => "warn",
1359 cap => "error",
1360 syslog => "user",
1361 );
1362
1363 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=+%syslog:%syslog=warn,cap=error,syslog
1364
1365=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
1366
1367Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
1368context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
1369
1370 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
1371 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
1372
1373 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=AnyEvent::Debug=+log
1374
1375This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
1376assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
1377default.
