39level is an object), log filtering based on package, formatting, aliasing 47 (AnyEvent::Log::ctx "")->level ("info");
40or package groups.

49The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
50but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module, and
51extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to multiple
52targets, or being able to log into a database.
53
54The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the module is
55still just 240 lines or so.

315=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 333=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
316 334
317None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 335This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
336context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
337own logging context.
318 338
319#TODO: wahst a context 339A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
320#TODO 340propagating the message.
341
342For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
343levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
344by this context (masked).
345
346For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
347timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
348it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
349actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
350whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
351
352For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<parent
353contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
354masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all parent
355contexts.
356
357Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
358context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
359message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
360
361=head2 DEFAULTS
362
363By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
364disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
365
366Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
367
368They have exactly one parent - the context of the "parent" package. The
369parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
370component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
371and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<AnyEvent::Log::Top> which is the
372exception of the rule - just like the parent of any package name in
373Perl is C<main>, the default parent of any top-level package context is
374C<AnyEvent::Log::Top>.
375
376Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this parent
377context can of course be removed.
378
379All other (anonymous) contexts have no parents and an empty title by
380default.
381
382When the module is loaded it creates the default context called
383C<AnyEvent::Log::Default> (also stored in C<$AnyEvent::Log::Default>),
384which simply logs everything via C<warn> and doesn't propagate anything
385anywhere by default. The purpose of the default context is to provide
386a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
387additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
388
389It then creates the root context called C<AnyEvent::Log::Root> (also
390stored in C<$AnyEvent::Log::Root>) and sets its log level set to all
391levels up to the one specified by C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It
392then attached the default logging context to it. The purpose of the root
393context is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
394
395Finally it creates the top-level package context called
396C<AnyEvent::Log::Top> (also stored in, you might have guessed,
397C<$AnyEvent::Log::Top>) and attached the root context but otherwise leaves
398it at default config. It's purpose is simply to collect all log messages
399system-wide.
400
401These three special contexts can also be referred to by the
402package/context names C<AE::Log::Default>, C<AE::Log::Root> and
403C<AE::Log::Top>.
404
405The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up
406to the root context where log messages with lower priority then
407C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered away and then to the
408AnyEvent::Log::Default context to be passed to C<warn>.
409
410Splitting the top level context into three contexts makes it easy to set
411a global logging level (by modifying the root context), but still allow
412other contexts to log, for example, their debug and trace messages to the
413default target despite the global logging level, or to attach additional
414log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging level.
415
416It also makes it easy to replace the default warn-logger by something that
417logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets.

571The following methods deal with the logging level set associated with the

575which configures the specified and any higher priority levels.

578C<all> which expands to all logging levels.

701
702The following methods configure how the logging context actually does
703the logging (which consists of formatting the message and printing it or
704whatever it wants to do with it) and also allows you to log messages
705directly to a context, without going via your package context.

727You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
728and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
729being logged" and might not be very efficient.
730
731Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
732"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
733your program.

805=head1 EXAMPLES
806
807This section shows some common configurations.
808
809=over 4
810
811=item Setting the global logging level.
812
813Either put PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=<number> into your environment before
814running your program, or modify the log level of the root context:
815
816 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
817
818 $AnyEvent::Log::Root->level ("warn");
819
820=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
821
822This is affected by the global logging level.
823
824 open my $fh, ">>", $path
825 or die "$path: $!";
826
827 $AnyEvent::Log::Default->log_cb (sub {
828 syswrite $fh, shift;
829 0
830 });
831
832=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
833
834This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
835it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
836filtering.
837
838 open my $fh, ">>", $path
839 or die "$path: $!";
840
841 $AnyEvent::Log::Default->attach (new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
842 log_cb => sub { syswrite $fh, shift; 0 });
843
844This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
845attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
846the global filtering.
847
848 $AnyEvent::Log::Top->attach (new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
849 log_cb => sub { syswrite $fh, shift; 0 });
850
851In both cases, messages are still written to STDOUT.
852
853=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
854
855Attach the CyAnyEvent::Log::Default> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
856context and increase the C<AnyEvent::Debug> logging level - this simply
857circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
858
859 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
860 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::Default);
861 $debug->levels ("trace"); # not "level"!
862
863This of course works for any package.
