66=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
67
68Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
69(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
70priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
71numerical value".
72
73Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
74
75 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
76 1 fatal emerg exit aborts program!
77 2 alert
78 3 critical crit
79 4 error err die
80 5 warn warning
81 6 note notice
82 7 info
83 8 debug
84 9 trace
85
86As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
87is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
88and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting that you log C<die> messages
89at C<error> priority.
90
91You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
92(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
93program - so use it sparingly :)
94
95Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
96or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

382When the module is loaded it creates the default context called 431When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging

405The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up 452The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the

454from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower

409 457
410Splitting the top level context into three contexts makes it easy to set 458This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
411a global logging level (by modifying the root context), but still allow 459but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
412other contexts to log, for example, their debug and trace messages to the
413default target despite the global logging level, or to attach additional 460messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
414log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging level. 461additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
462level.
415 463
416It also makes it easy to replace the default warn-logger by something that 464It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
417logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets. 465something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
