23or package groups.

57The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
58but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module, and
59extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to multiple
60targets, or being able to log into a database.
61
62The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the module is
63still just 240 lines or so.

245=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 345=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
246 346
247None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 347This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
348context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
349own logging context.
350
351A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
352propagating the message.
353
354For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
355levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
356by this context (masked).
357
358For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
359timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
360it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
361actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
362whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
363
364For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<parent
365contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
366masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all parent
367contexts.
368
369Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
370context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
371message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
372
373=head2 DEFAULTS
374
375By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
376disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
377
378Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
379
380They have exactly one parent - the context of the "parent" package. The
381parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
382component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
383and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<AnyEvent::Log::Top> which is the
384exception of the rule - just like the parent of any package name in
385Perl is C<main>, the default parent of any top-level package context is
386C<AnyEvent::Log::Top>.
387
388Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this parent
389context can of course be removed.
390
391All other (anonymous) contexts have no parents and an empty title by
392default.
393
394When the module is loaded it creates the default context called
395C<AnyEvent::Log::Default> (also stored in C<$AnyEvent::Log::Default>),
396which simply logs everything via C<warn> and doesn't propagate anything
397anywhere by default. The purpose of the default context is to provide
398a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
399additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
400
401It then creates the root context called C<AnyEvent::Log::Root> (also
402stored in C<$AnyEvent::Log::Root>) and sets its log level set to all
403levels up to the one specified by C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It
404then attached the default logging context to it. The purpose of the root
405context is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
406
407Finally it creates the top-level package context called
408C<AnyEvent::Log::Top> (also stored in, you might have guessed,
409C<$AnyEvent::Log::Top>) and attached the root context but otherwise leaves
410it at default config. It's purpose is simply to collect all log messages
411system-wide.
412
413These three special contexts can also be referred to by the
414package/context names C<AE::Log::Default>, C<AE::Log::Root> and
415C<AE::Log::Top>.
416
417The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up
418to the root context where log messages with lower priority then
419C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered away and then to the
420AnyEvent::Log::Default context to be passed to C<warn>.
421
422Splitting the top level context into three contexts makes it easy to set
423a global logging level (by modifying the root context), but still allow
424other contexts to log, for example, their debug and trace messages to the
425default target despite the global logging level, or to attach additional
426log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging level.
427
428It also makes it easy to replace the default warn-logger by something that
429logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets.

436
437This function creates or returns a logging context (which is an object).
438
439If a package name is given, then the context for that packlage is
440returned. If it is called without any arguments, then the context for the
441callers package is returned (i.e. the same context as a C<AE::log> call
442would use).
443
444If C<undef> is given, then it creates a new anonymous context that is not
445tied to any package and is destroyed when no longer referenced.

524This is a convenience constructor that makes it simpler to construct
525anonymous logging contexts.
526
527Each key-value pair results in an invocation of the method of the same
528name as the key with the value as parameter, unless the value is an
529arrayref, in which case it calls the method with the contents of the
530array. The methods are called in the same order as specified.

533level, some parent contexts and a logging callback.

582=head3 LOGGING LEVELS
583
584The following methods deal with the logging level set associated with the
585log context.
586
587The most common method to use is probably C<< $ctx->level ($level) >>,
588which configures the specified and any higher priority levels.
589
590All functions which accept a list of levels also accept the special string
591C<all> which expands to all logging levels.
592
593=over 4
594
595=item $ctx->levels ($level[, $level...)
596
597Enables logging for the given levels and disables it for all others.
598
599=item $ctx->level ($level)
600
601Enables logging for the given level and all lower level (higher priority)
602ones. In addition to normal logging levels, specifying a level of C<0> or
603C<off> disables all logging for this level.
604
605Example: log warnings, errors and higher priority messages.
606
607 $ctx->level ("warn");
608 $ctx->level (5); # same thing, just numeric
609
610=item $ctx->enable ($level[, $level...])
611
612Enables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.
613
614=item $ctx->disable ($level[, $level...])
615
616Disables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.

662=head3 PARENT CONTEXTS
663
664The following methods attach and detach another logging context to a
665logging context.
666
667Log messages are propagated to all parent contexts, unless the logging
668callback consumes the message.

671
672=item $ctx->attach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
673
674Attaches the given contexts as parents to this context. It is not an error
675to add a context twice (the second add will be ignored).
676
677A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
678
679=item $ctx->detach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
680
681Removes the given parents from this context - it's not an error to attempt
682to remove a context that hasn't been added.
683
684A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
685
686=item $ctx->parents ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])

713=head3 MESSAGE LOGGING
714
715The following methods configure how the logging context actually does
716the logging (which consists of formatting the message and printing it or
717whatever it wants to do with it) and also allows you to log messages
718directly to a context, without going via your package context.
719
720=over 4
721
722=item $ctx->log_cb ($cb->($str))
723
724Replaces the logging callback on the context (C<undef> disables the
725logging callback).
726
727The logging callback is responsible for handling formatted log messages
728(see C<fmt_cb> below) - normally simple text strings that end with a
729newline (and are possibly multiline themselves).
730
731It also has to return true iff it has consumed the log message, and false
732if it hasn't. Consuming a message means that it will not be sent to any
733parent context. When in doubt, return C<0> from your logging callback.
734
735Example: a very simple logging callback, simply dump the message to STDOUT
736and do not consume it.
737
738 $ctx->log_cb (sub { print STDERR shift; 0 });
739
740You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
741and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
742being logged" and might not be very efficient.
743
744Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
745"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
746your program.
747
748 $ctx->levels ("debug", "trace");
749 $ctx->log_cb (sub { 1 }); # do not log, but eat debug and trace messages
750
751=item $ctx->fmt_cb ($fmt_cb->($timestamp, $ctx, $level, $message))
752
753Replaces the formatting callback on the context (C<undef> restores the
754default formatter).
755
756The callback is passed the (possibly fractional) timestamp, the original
757logging context, the (numeric) logging level and the raw message string and needs to
758return a formatted log message. In most cases this will be a string, but
759it could just as well be an array reference that just stores the values.
760
761Example: format just the raw message, with numeric log level in angle
762brackets.
763
764 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub {
765 my ($time, $ctx, $lvl, $msg) = @_;
766
767 "<$lvl>$msg\n"
768 });
769
770Example: return an array reference with just the log values, and use
771C<PApp::SQL::sql_exec> to store the emssage in a database.
772
773 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub { \@_ });
774 $ctx->log_cb (sub {
775 my ($msg) = @_;
776
777 sql_exec "insert into log (when, subsys, prio, msg) values (?, ?, ?, ?)",
778 $msg->[0] + 0,
779 "$msg->[1]",
780 $msg->[2] + 0,
781 "$msg->[3]";

818=head1 EXAMPLES
819
820This section shows some common configurations.
821
822=over 4
823
824=item Setting the global logging level.
825
826Either put PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=<number> into your environment before
827running your program, or modify the log level of the root context:
828
829 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
830
831 $AnyEvent::Log::Root->level ("warn");
832
833=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
834
835This is affected by the global logging level.
836
837 open my $fh, ">>", $path
838 or die "$path: $!";
839
840 $AnyEvent::Log::Default->log_cb (sub {
841 syswrite $fh, shift;
842 0
843 });
844
845=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
846
847This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
848it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
849filtering.
850
851 open my $fh, ">>", $path
852 or die "$path: $!";
853
854 $AnyEvent::Log::Default->attach (new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
855 log_cb => sub { syswrite $fh, shift; 0 });
856
857This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
858attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
859the global filtering.
860
861 $AnyEvent::Log::Top->attach (new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
862 log_cb => sub { syswrite $fh, shift; 0 });
863
864In both cases, messages are still written to STDOUT.
865
866=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
867
868Attach the CyAnyEvent::Log::Default> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
869context and increase the C<AnyEvent::Debug> logging level - this simply
870circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
871
872 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
873 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::Default);
874 $debug->levels ("trace"); # not "level"!
875
876This of course works for any package.
