64=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
65
66Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
67(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
68priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
69numerical value".
70
71Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
72
73 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
74 1 fatal emerg exit aborts program!
75 2 alert
76 3 critical crit
77 4 error err die
78 5 warn warning
79 6 note notice
80 7 info
81 8 debug
82 9 trace
83
84As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
85is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
86and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting that you log C<die> messages
87at C<error> priority.
88
89You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
90(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
91program - so use it sparingly :)
92
93Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
94or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

405The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up 450The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
406to the root context where log messages with lower priority then 451C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
452from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower

409 455
410Splitting the top level context into three contexts makes it easy to set 456This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
411a global logging level (by modifying the root context), but still allow 457but 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 458messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
414log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging level. 459additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
460level.
415 461
416It also makes it easy to replace the default warn-logger by something that 462It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
417logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets. 463something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
