19before starting your program.#TODO 68before starting your program, or change the logging level at runtime with
69something like:
20 70
21Possible future extensions are to allow custom log targets (where the 71 use AnyEvent::Log;
22level is an object), log filtering based on package, formatting, aliasing 72 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("info");
23or package groups.
24 73
74The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
75but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module, and
76extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to multiple
77targets, or being able to log into a database.
78
79The module is also usable before AnyEvent itself is initialised, in which
80case some of the functionality might be reduced.
81
82The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the runtime part
83of the module is still just below 300 lines of code.
84
85=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
86
87Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
88(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
89priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
90numerical value".
91
92Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
93
94 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
95 1 fatal emerg exit system unusable, aborts program!
96 2 alert failure in primary system
97 3 critical crit failure in backup system
98 4 error err die non-urgent program errors, a bug
99 5 warn warning possible problem, not necessarily error
100 6 note notice unusual conditions
101 7 info normal messages, no action required
102 8 debug debugging messages for development
103 9 trace copious tracing output
104
105As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
106is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
107and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting (only!) that you log C<die>
108messages at C<error> priority. The NOTE column tries to provide some
109rationale on how to chose a logging level.
110
111As a rough guideline, levels 1..3 are primarily meant for users of
112the program (admins, staff), and are the only logged to STDERR by
113default. Levels 4..6 are meant for users and developers alike, while
114levels 7..9 are usually meant for developers.
115
116You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
117(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
118program - so use it sparingly :)
119
120Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
121or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

201lost it simply uses warn.

207
208Also, if you optionally generate a lot of debug messages (such as when
209tracing some code), you should look into using a logger callback and a

435
436By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
437eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
438true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
439time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
440that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
441
442This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
443
444Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before the L<AnyEvent> has been
445initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
446C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
447available.

254 452
255None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 453This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
256#TODO 454context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
455own logging context.
456
457A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
458propagating the message.
459
460For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
461levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
462by this context (masked).
463
464For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
465timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
466it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
467actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
468whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).

470For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<slave
471contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
472masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all slave
473contexts.
474
475Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
476context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
477message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
478
479=head2 DEFAULTS
480
481By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
482disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
483
484Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
485
486They have exactly one slave - the context of the "parent" package. The
487parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
488component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
489and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> which is the
490exception of the rule - just like the "parent" of any single-component
491package name in Perl is C<main>, the default slave of any top-level
492package context is C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>.
493
494Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this slave
495context can of course be removed.
496
497All other (anonymous) contexts have no slaves and an empty title by
498default.
499
500When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
501context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
502anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
503a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
504additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
505
506It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
507purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
508than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
509C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
510is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
511
512Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
513and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
514leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
515messages system-wide.
516
517The hierarchy is then:
518
519 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
520
521The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
522C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
523from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
524priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
525to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
526
527This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
528but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
529messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
530additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
531level.
532
533It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
534something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
535(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

691=head3 LOGGING LEVELS
692
693The following methods deal with the logging level set associated with the
694log context.
695
696The most common method to use is probably C<< $ctx->level ($level) >>,
697which configures the specified and any higher priority levels.
698
699All functions which accept a list of levels also accept the special string
700C<all> which expands to all logging levels.
701
702=over 4
703
704=item $ctx->levels ($level[, $level...)
705
706Enables logging for the given levels and disables it for all others.
707
708=item $ctx->level ($level)
709
710Enables logging for the given level and all lower level (higher priority)
711ones. In addition to normal logging levels, specifying a level of C<0> or
712C<off> disables all logging for this level.
713
714Example: log warnings, errors and higher priority messages.
715
716 $ctx->level ("warn");
717 $ctx->level (5); # same thing, just numeric
718
719=item $ctx->enable ($level[, $level...])
720
721Enables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.
722
723=item $ctx->disable ($level[, $level...])
724
725Disables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.
726
727=item $ctx->cap ($level)
728
729Caps the maximum priority to the given level, for all messages logged
730to, or passing through, this context. That is, while this doesn't affect
731whether a message is logged or passed on, the maximum priority of messages
732will be limited to the specified level - messages with a higher priority
733will be set to the specified priority.
734
735Another way to view this is that C<< ->level >> filters out messages with
736a too low priority, while C<< ->cap >> modifies messages with a too high
737priority.
738
739This is useful when different log targets have different interpretations
740of priority. For example, for a specific command line program, a wrong
741command line switch might well result in a C<fatal> log message, while the
742same message, logged to syslog, is likely I<not> fatal to the system or
743syslog facility as a whole, but more likely a mere C<error>.
744
745This can be modeled by having a stderr logger that logs messages "as-is"
746and a syslog logger that logs messages with a level cap of, say, C<error>,
747or, for truly system-critical components, actually C<critical>.

813to add a context twice (the second add will be ignored).
814
815A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.

821
822A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.

850
851=head3 LOG TARGETS
852
853The following methods configure how the logging context actually does
854the logging (which consists of formatting the message and printing it or
855whatever it wants to do with it).
856
857=over 4
858
859=item $ctx->log_cb ($cb->($str)
860
861Replaces the logging callback on the context (C<undef> disables the
862logging callback).
863
864The logging callback is responsible for handling formatted log messages
865(see C<fmt_cb> below) - normally simple text strings that end with a
866newline (and are possibly multiline themselves).
867
868It also has to return true iff it has consumed the log message, and false
869if it hasn't. Consuming a message means that it will not be sent to any
870slave context. When in doubt, return C<0> from your logging callback.
871
872Example: a very simple logging callback, simply dump the message to STDOUT
873and do not consume it.
874
875 $ctx->log_cb (sub { print STDERR shift; 0 });
876
877You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
878and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
879being logged" and might not be very efficient.
880
881Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
882"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
883your program.
884
885 $ctx->levels ("debug", "trace");
886 $ctx->log_cb (sub { 1 }); # do not log, but eat debug and trace messages
887
888=item $ctx->fmt_cb ($fmt_cb->($timestamp, $orig_ctx, $level, $message))
889
890Replaces the formatting callback on the context (C<undef> restores the
891default formatter).
892
893The callback is passed the (possibly fractional) timestamp, the original
894logging context, the (numeric) logging level and the raw message string
895and needs to return a formatted log message. In most cases this will be a
896string, but it could just as well be an array reference that just stores
897the values.
898
899If, for some reason, you want to use C<caller> to find out more baout the
900logger then you should walk up the call stack until you are no longer
901inside the C<AnyEvent::Log> package.
902
903Example: format just the raw message, with numeric log level in angle
904brackets.
905
906 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub {
907 my ($time, $ctx, $lvl, $msg) = @_;
908
909 "<$lvl>$msg\n"
910 });
911
912Example: return an array reference with just the log values, and use
913C<PApp::SQL::sql_exec> to store the emssage in a database.
914
915 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub { \@_ });
916 $ctx->log_cb (sub {
917 my ($msg) = @_;
918
919 sql_exec "insert into log (when, subsys, prio, msg) values (?, ?, ?, ?)",
920 $msg->[0] + 0,
921 "$msg->[1]",
922 $msg->[2] + 0,
923 "$msg->[3]";
924
925 0
926 });
927
928=item $ctx->log_to_warn
929
930Sets the C<log_cb> to simply use C<CORE::warn> to report any messages
931(usually this logs to STDERR).
932
933=item $ctx->log_to_file ($path)
934
935Sets the C<log_cb> to log to a file (by appending), unbuffered.
936
937=item $ctx->log_to_path ($path)
938
939Same as C<< ->log_to_file >>, but opens the file for each message. This
940is much slower, but allows you to change/move/rename/delete the file at
941basically any time.
942
943Needless(?) to say, if you do not want to be bitten by some evil person
944calling C<chdir>, the path should be absolute. Doesn't help with
945C<chroot>, but hey...
946
947=item $ctx->log_to_syslog ([$facility])
948
949Logs all messages via L<Sys::Syslog>, mapping C<trace> to C<debug> and
950all the others in the obvious way. If specified, then the C<$facility> is
951used as the facility (C<user>, C<auth>, C<local0> and so on). The default
952facility is C<user>.
953
954Note that this function also sets a C<fmt_cb> - the logging part requires
955an array reference with [$level, $str] as input.

1064context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
1065configuration directives, here are some examples:
1066
1067 # set default logging level
1068 filter=warn
1069
1070 # log to file instead of to stderr
1071 log=file=/tmp/mylog
1072
1073 # log to file in addition to stderr
1074 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
1075
1076 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
1077 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1078
1079 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1080 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1081
1082A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1083
1084=over 4
1085
1086=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1087
1088Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1089C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1090
1091=item C<%name>
1092
1093Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1094name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1095default they have no attached slaves.
1096
1097=item a perl package name
1098
1099Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1100Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1101context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1102C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1103
1104=back
1105
1106The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1107
1108=over 4
1109
1110=item C<stderr>
1111
1112Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1113logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1114
1115=item C<file=>I<path>
1116
1117Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1118C<log_to_file>.
1119
1120=item C<path=>I<path>
1121
1122Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1123C<log_to_path>.
1124
1125=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1126
1127Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1128evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1129
1130 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1131
1132=item C<nolog>
1133
1134Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1135default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1136
1137=item C<cap=>I<level>
1138
1139Caps logging messages entering this context at the given level, i.e.
1140reduces the priority of messages with higher priority than this level. The
1141default is C<0> (or C<off>), meaning the priority will not be touched.
1142
1143=item C<0> or C<off>
1144
1145Sets the logging level of the context to C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1146filtered out.
1147
1148=item C<all>
1149
1150Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1151off (the default).
1152
1153=item C<only>
1154
1155Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1156level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1157
1158Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1159
1160 context=only,debug
1161
1162=item C<except>
1163
1164Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1165level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1166
1167Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1168nonsensical).
1169
1170 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1171
1172=item C<level>
1173
1174Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1175level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1176message". This is the default.
1177
1178Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1179
1180 filter=warn
1181
1182 # or, more verbose
1183 filter=only,level,warn
1184
1185=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1186
1187A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1188to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1189specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1190
1191=item C<+>I<context>
1192
1193Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1194
1195=item C<+>
1196
1197A line C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1198context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1199but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1200
1201Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1202default log collector.
1203
1204 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1205
1206=back
1207
1208Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1209usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1210spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1211
1212 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1213
1214Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1215specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1216
1217 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1218 filter=warn
1219 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1220 %trace=only,trace,+log
1221 " myprog
1222
1223Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1224use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1225module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1226
1227 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
1228
1229=cut
1230

1285=head1 EXAMPLES
1286
1287This section shows some common configurations, both as code, and as
1288C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> string.
1289
1290=over 4
1291
1292=item Setting the global logging level.
1293
1294Either put C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=><number> into your environment before
1295running your program, use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> or modify the log level of
1296the root context at runtime:
1297
1298 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
1299
1300 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=warn
1301
1302 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
1303
1304=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
1305
1306This is affected by the global logging level.
1307
1308 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path);
1309
1310 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=file=/some/path
1311
1312=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
1313
1314This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
1315it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
1316filtering.
1317
1318 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach (
1319 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1320
1321 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=+%filelogger:%filelogger=file=/some/path
1322
1323This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
1324attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
1325the global filtering.
1326
1327 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
1328 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1329
1330 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=%filelogger=file=/some/path:collect=+%filelogger
1331
1332In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
1333
1334=item Additionally log all messages with C<warn> and higher priority to
1335C<syslog>, but cap at C<error>.
1336
1337This logs all messages to the default log target, but also logs messages
1338with priority C<warn> or higher (and not filtered otherwise) to syslog
1339facility C<user>. Messages with priority higher than C<error> will be
1340logged with level C<error>.
1341
1342 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->attach (
1343 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
1344 level => "warn",
1345 cap => "error",
1346 syslog => "user",
1347 );
1348
1349 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=+%syslog:%syslog=warn,cap=error,syslog
1350
1351=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
1352
1353Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
1354context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
1355
1356 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
1357 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
1358
1359 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=AnyEvent::Debug=+log
1360
1361This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
1362assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
1363default.
