61		78
		79	The module is also usable before AnyEvent itself is initialised, in which
		80	case some of the functionality might be reduced.
		81
		82	The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the runtime part
		83	of the module is still just below 300 lines of code.
		84
		85	=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
		86
		87	Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
		88	(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
		89	priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
		90	numerical value".
		91
		92	Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
		93
		94	LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
		95	1 fatal emerg exit system unusable, aborts program!
		96	2 alert failure in primary system
		97	3 critical crit failure in backup system
		98	4 error err die non-urgent program errors, a bug
		99	5 warn warning possible problem, not necessarily error
		100	6 note notice unusual conditions
		101	7 info normal messages, no action required
		102	8 debug debugging messages for development
		103	9 trace copious tracing output
		104
		105	As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
		106	is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
		107	and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting (only!) that you log C<die>
		108	messages at C<error> priority. The NOTE column tries to provide some
		109	rationale on how to chose a logging level.
		110
		111	As a rough guideline, levels 1..3 are primarily meant for users of
		112	the program (admins, staff), and are the only logged to STDERR by
		113	default. Levels 4..6 are meant for users and developers alike, while
		114	levels 7..9 are usually meant for developers.
		115
		116	You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
		117	(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
		118	program - so use it sparingly :)
		119
		120	Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
		121	or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

		739
		740	Another way to view this is that C<< ->level >> filters out messages with

		743
		744	This is useful when different log targets have different interpretations

		1062	=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
		1063
		1064	Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
		1065	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
		1066
		1067	The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
		1068	by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
		1069	context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
		1070	configuration directives, here are some examples:
		1071
		1072	# set default logging level
		1073	filter=warn
		1074
		1075	# log to file instead of to stderr
		1076	log=file=/tmp/mylog
		1077
		1078	# log to file in addition to stderr
		1079	log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
		1080
		1081	# enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
		1082	filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
		1083
		1084	# log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
		1085	AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
		1086
		1087	A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
		1088
		1089	=over 4
		1090
		1091	=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
		1092
		1093	Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
		1094	C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
		1095
		1096	=item C<%name>
		1097
		1098	Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
		1099	name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
		1100	default they have no attached slaves.
		1101
		1102	=item a perl package name
		1103
		1104	Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
		1105	Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
		1106	context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
		1107	C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
		1108
		1109	=back
		1110
		1111	The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
		1112
		1113	=over 4
		1114
		1115	=item C<stderr>
		1116
		1117	Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
		1118	logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
		1119
		1120	=item C<file=>I<path>
		1121
		1122	Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
		1123	C<log_to_file>.
		1124
		1125	=item C<path=>I<path>
		1126
		1127	Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
		1128	C<log_to_path>.
		1129
		1130	=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
		1131
		1132	Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
		1133	evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
		1134
		1135	log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
		1136
		1137	=item C<nolog>
		1138
		1139	Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
		1140	default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
		1141
		1142	=item C<cap=>I<level>
		1143
		1144	Caps logging messages entering this context at the given level, i.e.
		1145	reduces the priority of messages with higher priority than this level. The
		1146	default is C<0> (or C<off>), meaning the priority will not be touched.
		1147
		1148	=item C<0> or C<off>
		1149
		1150	Sets the logging level of the context to C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
		1151	filtered out.
		1152
		1153	=item C<all>
		1154
		1155	Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
		1156	off (the default).
		1157
		1158	=item C<only>
		1159
		1160	Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
		1161	level specifications to enable the specified level only.
		1162
		1163	Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
		1164
		1165	context=only,debug
		1166
		1167	=item C<except>
		1168
		1169	Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
		1170	level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
		1171
		1172	Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
		1173	nonsensical).
		1174
		1175	filter=exept,fatal,trace
		1176
		1177	=item C<level>
		1178
		1179	Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
		1180	level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
		1181	message". This is the default.
		1182
		1183	Example: log anything at or above warn level.
		1184
		1185	filter=warn
		1186
		1187	# or, more verbose
		1188	filter=only,level,warn
		1189
		1190	=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
		1191
		1192	A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
		1193	to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
		1194	specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
		1195
		1196	=item C<+>I<context>
		1197
		1198	Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
		1199
		1200	=item C<+>
		1201
		1202	A line C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
		1203	context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
		1204	but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
		1205
		1206	Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
		1207	default log collector.
		1208
		1209	My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
		1210
		1211	=back
		1212
		1213	Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
		1214	usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
		1215	spaces in the filename, you would do this:
		1216
		1217	PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
		1218
		1219	Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
		1220	specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
		1221
		1222	PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
		1223	filter=warn
		1224	AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
		1225	%trace=only,trace,+log
		1226	" myprog
		1227
		1228	Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
		1229	use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
		1230	module name, an empty spec with two separators:
		1231
		1232	PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
