19C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> to a higher number. 50before starting your program, or change the logging level at runtime with
51something like:
20 52
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 module is also usable before AnyEvent itself is initialised, in which
62case some of the functionality might be reduced.
63
64The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the runtime part
65of the module is still just below 300 lines of code.
66
67=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
68
69Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
70(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
71priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
72numerical value".
73
74Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
75
76 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
77 1 fatal emerg exit aborts program!
78 2 alert
79 3 critical crit
80 4 error err die
81 5 warn warning
82 6 note notice
83 7 info
84 8 debug
85 9 trace
86
87As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
88is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
89and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting that you log C<die> messages
90at C<error> priority.
91
92You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
93(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
94program - so use it sparingly :)
95
96Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
97or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

179
180Also, if you optionally generate a lot of debug messages (such as when
181tracing some code), you should look into using a logger callback and a
182boolean enabler (see C<logger>, below).

245=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 383=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
246 384
247None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 385This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
386context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
387own logging context.
388
389A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
390propagating the message.
391
392For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
393levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
394by this context (masked).
395
396For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
397timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
398it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
399actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
400whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
401
402For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<slave
403contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
404masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all slave
405contexts.
406
407Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
408context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
409message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
410
411=head2 DEFAULTS
412
413By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
414disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
415
416Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
417
418They have exactly one slave - the context of the "parent" package. The
419parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
420component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
421and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> which is the
422exception of the rule - just like the "parent" of any single-component
423package name in Perl is C<main>, the default slave of any top-level
424package context is C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>.
425
426Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this slave
427context can of course be removed.
428
429All other (anonymous) contexts have no slaves and an empty title by
430default.
431
432When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
433context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
434anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
435a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
436additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
437
438It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
439purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
440than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
441C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
442is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
443
444Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
445and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
446leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
447messages system-wide.
448
449The hierarchy is then:
450
451 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
452
453The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
454C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
455from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
456priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
457to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
458
459This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
460but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
461messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
462additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
463level.
464
465It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
466something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
467(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

475This function creates or returns a logging context (which is an object).
476
477If a package name is given, then the context for that packlage is
478returned. If it is called without any arguments, then the context for the
479callers package is returned (i.e. the same context as a C<AE::log> call
480would use).
481
482If C<undef> is given, then it creates a new anonymous context that is not
483tied to any package and is destroyed when no longer referenced.

556
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.
567
568 $ctx = new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
569 title => "dubious messages",

596
597=over 4
598
599=item $ctx->title ([$new_title])
600
601Returns the title of the logging context - this is the package name, for
602package contexts, and a user defined string for all others.
603
604If C<$new_title> is given, then it replaces the package name or title.

614
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.
699
700Log messages are propagated to all slave contexts, unless the logging
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} = $_

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_warn
824
825Sets the C<log_cb> to simply use C<CORE::warn> to report any messages
826(usually this logs to STDERR).
827
828=item $ctx->log_to_file ($path)
829
830Sets the C<log_cb> to log to a file (by appending), unbuffered.
831
832=item $ctx->log_to_path ($path)
833
834Same as C<< ->log_to_file >>, but opens the file for each message. This
835is much slower, but allows you to change/move/rename/delete the file at
836basically any time.
837
838Needless(?) to say, if you do not want to be bitten by some evil person
839calling C<chdir>, the path should be absolute. Doesn't help with
840C<chroot>, but hey...
841
842=item $ctx->log_to_syslog ([$log_flags])
843
844Logs all messages via L<Sys::Syslog>, mapping C<trace> to C<debug> and all
845the others in the obvious way. If specified, then the C<$log_flags> are
846simply or'ed onto the priority argument and can contain any C<LOG_xxx>
847flags valid for Sys::Syslog::syslog, except for the priority levels.
848
849Note that this function also sets a C<fmt_cb> - the logging part requires
850an array reference with [$level, $str] as input.

950=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
951
952Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
953C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
954
955The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
956by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
957context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
958configuration directives, here are some examples:
959
960 # set default logging level
961 filter=warn
962
963 # log to file instead of to stderr
964 log=file=/tmp/mylog
965
966 # log to file in addition to stderr
967 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
968
969 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
970 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
971
972 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
973 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
974
975A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
976
977=over 4
978
979=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
980
981Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
982C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
983
984=item C<%name>
985
986Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
987name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
988default they have no attached slaves.
989
990=item a perl package name
991
992Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
993Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
994context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
995C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
996
997=back
998
999The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1000
1001=over 4
1002
1003=item C<stderr>
1004
1005Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1006logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1007
1008=item C<file=>I<path>
1009
1010Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1011C<log_to_file>.
1012
1013=item C<path=>I<path>
1014
1015Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1016C<log_to_path>.
1017
1018=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1019
1020Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1021evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1022
1023 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1024
1025=item C<nolog>
1026
1027Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1028default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1029
1030=item C<0> or C<off>
1031
1032Sets the logging level of the context ot C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1033filtered out.
1034
1035=item C<all>
1036
1037Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1038off (the default).
1039
1040=item C<only>
1041
1042Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1043level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1044
1045Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1046
1047 context=only,debug
1048
1049=item C<except>
1050
1051Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1052level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1053
1054Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1055nonsensical).
1056
1057 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1058
1059=item C<level>
1060
1061Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1062level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1063message". This is the default.
1064
1065Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1066
1067 filter=warn
1068
1069 # or, more verbose
1070 filter=only,level,warn
1071
1072=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1073
1074A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1075to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1076specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1077
1078=item C<+>I<context>
1079
1080Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1081
1082=item C<+>
1083
1084A line C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1085context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1086but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1087
1088Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1089default log collector.
1090
1091 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1092
1093=back
1094
1095Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1096usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1097spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1098
1099 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1100
1101Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1102specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1103
1104 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1105 filter=warn
1106 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1107 %trace=only,trace,+log
1108 " myprog
1109
1110Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1111use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1112module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1113
1114 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
1115
1116=cut
1117
1118for (my $spec = $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}) {

1171=head1 EXAMPLES
1172
1173This section shows some common configurations, both as code, and as
1174C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> string.
1175
1176=over 4
1177
1178=item Setting the global logging level.
1179
1180Either put C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=><number> into your environment before
1181running your program, use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> or modify the log level of
1182the root context at runtime:
1183
1184 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
1185
1186 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=warn
1187
1188 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
1189
1190=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
1191
1192This is affected by the global logging level.
1193
1194 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path);
1195
1196 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=file=/some/path
1197
1198=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
1199
1200This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
1201it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
1202filtering.
1203
1204 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach
1205 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1206
1207 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=+%filelogger:%filelogger=file=/some/path
1208
1209This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
1210attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
1211the global filtering.
1212
1213 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
1214 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1215
1216 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=%filelogger=file=/some/path:collect=+%filelogger
1217
1218In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
1219
1220=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
1221
1222Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
1223context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
1224
1225 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
1226 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
1227
1228 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=AnyEvent::Debug=+log
1229
1230This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
1231assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
1232default.
