54The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the module is
55still just below 300 lines of code.
56
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.

416Splitting 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),
417a global logging level (by modifying the root context), but still allow 442but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
418other contexts to log, for example, their debug and trace messages to the
419default target despite the global logging level, or to attach additional 443messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
420log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging level. 444additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
445level.
421 446
422It also makes it easy to replace the default STDERR-logger by something 447It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
423that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets. 448something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets

918
919=item Setting the global logging level.
920
921Either put PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=<number> into your environment before
922running your program, or modify the log level of the root context:
923
924 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
925
926 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
927
928=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
929
930This is affected by the global logging level.
931
932 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path); (sub {
933
934=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
935
936This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
937it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
938filtering.
939
940 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach
941 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
942
943This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
944attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
945the global filtering.
946
947 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
948 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
949
950In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
951
952=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
953
954Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
955context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
956
957 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
958 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
959
960This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
961assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
962default.
