49The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
50but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module, and
51extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to multiple
52targets, or being able to log into a database.
53
54The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the module is
55still just 240 lines or so.

253=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 334=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
254 335
255None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 336This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
337context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
338own logging context.
339
340A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
341propagating the message.
342
343For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
344levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
345by this context (masked).
346
347For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
348timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
349it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
350actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
351whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
352
353For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<parent
354contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
355masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all parent
356contexts.
357
358Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
359context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
360message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
361
362=head2 DEFAULTS
363
364By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
365disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
366
367Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
368
369They have exactly one parent - the context of the "parent" package. The
370parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
371component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
372and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<AnyEvent::Log::Top> which is the
373exception of the rule - just like the parent of any package name in
374Perl is C<main>, the default parent of any top-level package context is
375C<AnyEvent::Log::Top>.
376
377Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this parent
378context can of course be removed.
379
380All other (anonymous) contexts have no parents and an empty title by
381default.
382
383When the module is loaded it creates the default context called
384C<AnyEvent::Log::Default> (also stored in C<$AnyEvent::Log::Default>),
385which simply logs everything via C<warn> and doesn't propagate anything
386anywhere by default. The purpose of the default context is to provide
387a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
388additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
389
390It then creates the root context called C<AnyEvent::Log::Root> (also
391stored in C<$AnyEvent::Log::Root>) and sets its log level set to all
392levels up to the one specified by C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It
393then attached the default logging context to it. The purpose of the root
394context is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
395
396Finally it creates the top-level package context called
397C<AnyEvent::Log::Top> (also stored in, you might have guessed,
398C<$AnyEvent::Log::Top>) and attached the root context but otherwise leaves
399it at default config. It's purpose is simply to collect all log messages
400system-wide.
401
402These three special contexts can also be referred to by the
403package/context names C<AE::Log::Default>, C<AE::Log::Root> and
404C<AE::Log::Top>.
405
406The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up
407to the root context where log messages with lower priority then
408C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered away and then to the
409AnyEvent::Log::Default context to be passed to C<warn>.
410
411Splitting the top level context into three contexts makes it easy to set
412a global logging level (by modifying the root context), but still allow
413other contexts to log, for example, their debug and trace messages to the
414default target despite the global logging level, or to attach additional
415log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging level.
416
417It also makes it easy to replace the default warn-logger by something that
418logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets.

520Example: create a new logging context and set both the default logging
521level, some parent contexts and a logging callback.
522
523 $ctx = new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
524 title => "dubious messages",
525 level => "error",
526 log_cb => sub { print STDOUT shift; 0 },
527 parents => [$ctx1, $ctx, $ctx2],

548=head2 CONFIGURING A LOG CONTEXT
549
550The following methods can be used to configure the logging context.
551
552=over 4
553
554=item $ctx->title ([$new_title])
555
556Returns the title of the logging context - this is the package name, for
557package contexts, and a user defined string for all others.
558
559If C<$new_title> is given, then it replaces the package name or title.
560
561=cut
562
563sub title {
564 $_[0][0] = $_[1] if @_ > 1;
565 $_[0][0]

569
570=head3 LOGGING LEVELS
571
572The following methods deal with the logging level set associated with the
573log context.
574
575The most common method to use is probably C<< $ctx->level ($level) >>,
576which configures the specified and any higher priority levels.
577
578All functions which accept a list of levels also accept the special string
579C<all> which expands to all logging levels.
580
581=over 4
582
583=item $ctx->levels ($level[, $level...)
584
585Enables logging for the given levels and disables it for all others.
586
587=item $ctx->level ($level)
588
589Enables logging for the given level and all lower level (higher priority)
590ones. In addition to normal logging levels, specifying a level of C<0> or
591C<off> disables all logging for this level.
592
593Example: log warnings, errors and higher priority messages.
594
595 $ctx->level ("warn");
596 $ctx->level (5); # same thing, just numeric
597
598=item $ctx->enable ($level[, $level...])
599
600Enables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.
601
602=item $ctx->disable ($level[, $level...])
603
604Disables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.

650=head3 PARENT CONTEXTS
651
652The following methods attach and detach another logging context to a
653logging context.
654
655Log messages are propagated to all parent contexts, unless the logging
656callback consumes the message.
657
658=over 4
659
660=item $ctx->attach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
661
662Attaches the given contexts as parents to this context. It is not an error
663to add a context twice (the second add will be ignored).
664
665A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
666
667=item $ctx->detach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
668
669Removes the given parents from this context - it's not an error to attempt
670to remove a context that hasn't been added.
671
672A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
673
674=item $ctx->parents ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
675
676Replaces all parents attached to this context by the ones given.
677
678=cut
679
680sub attach {
681 my $ctx = shift;
682

685}
686
687sub detach {

689
690 delete $ctx->[2]{$_+0}
691 for map { AnyEvent::Log::ctx $_ } @_;

695 undef $_[0][2];
696 &attach;
697}

701=head3 MESSAGE LOGGING
702
703The following methods configure how the logging context actually does
704the logging (which consists of formatting the message and printing it or
705whatever it wants to do with it) and also allows you to log messages
706directly to a context, without going via your package context.
707
708=over 4
709
710=item $ctx->log_cb ($cb->($str))
711
712Replaces the logging callback on the context (C<undef> disables the
713logging callback).
714
715The logging callback is responsible for handling formatted log messages
716(see C<fmt_cb> below) - normally simple text strings that end with a
717newline (and are possibly multiline themselves).
718
719It also has to return true iff it has consumed the log message, and false
720if it hasn't. Consuming a message means that it will not be sent to any
721parent context. When in doubt, return C<0> from your logging callback.
722
723Example: a very simple logging callback, simply dump the message to STDOUT
724and do not consume it.
725
726 $ctx->log_cb (sub { print STDERR shift; 0 });
727
728You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
729and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
730being logged" and might not be very efficient.
731
732Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
733"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
734your program.
735
736 $ctx->levels ("debug", "trace");
737 $ctx->log_cb (sub { 1 }); # do not log, but eat debug and trace messages
738
739=item $ctx->fmt_cb ($fmt_cb->($timestamp, $ctx, $level, $message))
740
741Replaces the formatting callback on the context (C<undef> restores the
742default formatter).
743
744The callback is passed the (possibly fractional) timestamp, the original
745logging context, the (numeric) logging level and the raw message string and needs to
746return a formatted log message. In most cases this will be a string, but
747it could just as well be an array reference that just stores the values.
748
749Example: format just the raw message, with numeric log level in angle
750brackets.
751
752 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub {
753 my ($time, $ctx, $lvl, $msg) = @_;
754
755 "<$lvl>$msg\n"
756 });
757
758Example: return an array reference with just the log values, and use
759C<PApp::SQL::sql_exec> to store the emssage in a database.
760
761 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub { \@_ });
762 $ctx->log_cb (sub {
763 my ($msg) = @_;
764
765 sql_exec "insert into log (when, subsys, prio, msg) values (?, ?, ?, ?)",
766 $msg->[0] + 0,
767 "$msg->[1]",
768 $msg->[2] + 0,
769 "$msg->[3]";
770
771 0
772 });

806=head1 EXAMPLES
807
808This section shows some common configurations.
809
810=over 4
811
812=item Setting the global logging level.
813
814Either put PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=<number> into your environment before
815running your program, or modify the log level of the root context:
816
817 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
818
819 $AnyEvent::Log::Root->level ("warn");
820
821=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
822
823This is affected by the global logging level.
824
825 open my $fh, ">>", $path
826 or die "$path: $!";
827
828 $AnyEvent::Log::Default->log_cb (sub {
829 syswrite $fh, shift;
830 0
831 });
832
833=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
834
835This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
836it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
837filtering.
838
839 open my $fh, ">>", $path
840 or die "$path: $!";
841
842 $AnyEvent::Log::Default->attach (new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
843 log_cb => sub { syswrite $fh, shift; 0 });
844
845This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
846attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
847the global filtering.
848
849 $AnyEvent::Log::Top->attach (new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
850 log_cb => sub { syswrite $fh, shift; 0 });
851
852In both cases, messages are still written to STDOUT.
853
854=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
855
856Attach the CyAnyEvent::Log::Default> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
857context and increase the C<AnyEvent::Debug> logging level - this simply
858circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
859
860 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
861 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::Default);
862 $debug->levels ("trace"); # not "level"!
863
864This of course works for any package.
