51something like:

21Possible future extensions are to allow custom log targets (where the 53 use AnyEvent::Log;
22level is an object), log filtering based on package, formatting, aliasing 54 AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("info");
23or package groups.
24 55
56The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
57but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module, and
58extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to multiple
59targets, or being able to log into a database.
60
61The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the module is
62still just below 300 lines of code.
63
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.

177Also, if you optionally generate a lot of debug messages (such as when
178tracing some code), you should look into using a logger callback and a
179boolean enabler (see C<logger>, below).

253=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 380=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
254 381
255None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 382This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
256#TODO 383context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
384own logging context.
385
386A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
387propagating the message.
388
389For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
390levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
391by this context (masked).
392
393For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
394timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
395it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
396actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
397whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
398
399For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<slave
400contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
401masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all slave
402contexts.
403
404Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
405context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
406message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
407
408=head2 DEFAULTS
409
410By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
411disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
412
413Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
414
415They have exactly one slave - the context of the "parent" package. The
416parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
417component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
418and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> which is the
419exception of the rule - just like the "parent" of any single-component
420package name in Perl is C<main>, the default slave of any top-level
421package context is C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>.
422
423Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this slave
424context can of course be removed.
425
426All other (anonymous) contexts have no slaves and an empty title by
427default.
428
429When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
430context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
431anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
432a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
433additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
434
435It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
436purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
437than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
438C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
439is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
440
441Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
442and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
443leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
444messages system-wide.
445
446The hierarchy is then:
447
448 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
449
450The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
451C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
452from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
453priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
454to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
455
456This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
457but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
458messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
459additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
460level.
461
462It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
463something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
464(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

557This is a convenience constructor that makes it simpler to construct
558anonymous logging contexts.
559
560Each key-value pair results in an invocation of the method of the same
561name as the key with the value as parameter, unless the value is an
562arrayref, in which case it calls the method with the contents of the
563array. The methods are called in the same order as specified.
564
565Example: create a new logging context and set both the default logging
566level, some slave contexts and a logging callback.

615=head3 LOGGING LEVELS
616
617The following methods deal with the logging level set associated with the
618log context.
619
620The most common method to use is probably C<< $ctx->level ($level) >>,
621which configures the specified and any higher priority levels.
622
623All functions which accept a list of levels also accept the special string
624C<all> which expands to all logging levels.
625
626=over 4
627
628=item $ctx->levels ($level[, $level...)
629
630Enables logging for the given levels and disables it for all others.
631
632=item $ctx->level ($level)
633
634Enables logging for the given level and all lower level (higher priority)
635ones. In addition to normal logging levels, specifying a level of C<0> or
636C<off> disables all logging for this level.
637
638Example: log warnings, errors and higher priority messages.
639
640 $ctx->level ("warn");
641 $ctx->level (5); # same thing, just numeric
642
643=item $ctx->enable ($level[, $level...])
644
645Enables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.
646
647=item $ctx->disable ($level[, $level...])
648
649Disables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.

695=head3 SLAVE CONTEXTS
696
697The following methods attach and detach another logging context to a
698logging context.

701callback consumes the message.
702
703=over 4
704
705=item $ctx->attach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
706
707Attaches the given contexts as slaves to this context. It is not an error
708to add a context twice (the second add will be ignored).
709
710A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
711
712=item $ctx->detach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
713
714Removes the given slaves from this context - it's not an error to attempt
715to remove a context that hasn't been added.
716
717A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
718
719=item $ctx->slaves ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
720
721Replaces all slaves attached to this context by the ones given.
722
723=cut
724
725sub attach {
726 my $ctx = shift;
727
728 $ctx->[2]{$_+0} = $_
729 for map { AnyEvent::Log::ctx $_ } @_;
730}
731
732sub detach {
733 my $ctx = shift;
734
735 delete $ctx->[2]{$_+0}
736 for map { AnyEvent::Log::ctx $_ } @_;
737}
738
739sub slaves {
740 undef $_[0][2];
741 &attach;
742}
743
744=back
745
746=head3 LOG TARGETS
747
748The following methods configure how the logging context actually does
749the logging (which consists of formatting the message and printing it or
750whatever it wants to do with it).
751
752=over 4
753
754=item $ctx->log_cb ($cb->($str)
755
756Replaces the logging callback on the context (C<undef> disables the
757logging callback).
758
759The logging callback is responsible for handling formatted log messages
760(see C<fmt_cb> below) - normally simple text strings that end with a
761newline (and are possibly multiline themselves).
762
763It also has to return true iff it has consumed the log message, and false
764if it hasn't. Consuming a message means that it will not be sent to any
765slave context. When in doubt, return C<0> from your logging callback.
766
767Example: a very simple logging callback, simply dump the message to STDOUT
768and do not consume it.
769
770 $ctx->log_cb (sub { print STDERR shift; 0 });
771
772You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
773and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
774being logged" and might not be very efficient.
775
776Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
777"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
778your program.
779
780 $ctx->levels ("debug", "trace");
781 $ctx->log_cb (sub { 1 }); # do not log, but eat debug and trace messages
782
783=item $ctx->fmt_cb ($fmt_cb->($timestamp, $orig_ctx, $level, $message))
784
785Replaces the formatting callback on the context (C<undef> restores the
786default formatter).
787
788The callback is passed the (possibly fractional) timestamp, the original
789logging context, the (numeric) logging level and the raw message string
790and needs to return a formatted log message. In most cases this will be a
791string, but it could just as well be an array reference that just stores
792the values.
793
794If, for some reason, you want to use C<caller> to find out more baout the
795logger then you should walk up the call stack until you are no longer
796inside the C<AnyEvent::Log> package.
797
798Example: format just the raw message, with numeric log level in angle
799brackets.
800
801 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub {
802 my ($time, $ctx, $lvl, $msg) = @_;
803
804 "<$lvl>$msg\n"
805 });
806
807Example: return an array reference with just the log values, and use
808C<PApp::SQL::sql_exec> to store the emssage in a database.
809
810 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub { \@_ });
811 $ctx->log_cb (sub {
812 my ($msg) = @_;
813
814 sql_exec "insert into log (when, subsys, prio, msg) values (?, ?, ?, ?)",
815 $msg->[0] + 0,
816 "$msg->[1]",
817 $msg->[2] + 0,
818 "$msg->[3]";
819
820 0
821 });
822
823=item $ctx->log_to_file ($path)
824
825Sets the C<log_cb> to log to a file (by appending), unbuffered.
826
827=item $ctx->log_to_path ($path)
828
829Same as C<< ->log_to_file >>, but opens the file for each message. This
830is much slower, but allows you to change/move/rename/delete the file at
831basically any time.
832
833=item $ctx->log_to_syslog ([$log_flags])
834
835Logs all messages via L<Sys::Syslog>, mapping C<trace> to C<debug> and all
836the others in the obvious way. If specified, then the C<$log_flags> are
837simply or'ed onto the priority argument and can contain any C<LOG_xxx>
838flags valid for Sys::Syslog::syslog, except for the priority levels.
839
840Note that this function also sets a C<fmt_cb> - the logging part requires
841an array reference with [$level, $str] as input.

937
938Either put PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=<number> into your environment before

940
941 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
942
943 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
944
945=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
946
947This is affected by the global logging level.
948
949 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path); (sub {
950
951=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
952
953This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
954it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
955filtering.
956
957 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach
958 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
959
960This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
961attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
962the global filtering.
963
964 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
965 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
966
967In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
968
969=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
970
971Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
972context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
973
974 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
975 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
976
977This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
978assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
979default.
