36before starting your program.#TODO 68before starting your program, or change the logging level at runtime with
69something like:
37 70
38Possible future extensions are to allow custom log targets (where the 71 use AnyEvent::Log;
39level is an object), log filtering based on package, formatting, aliasing 72 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("info");
40or package groups.
41 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.

420
421By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
422eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
423true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
424time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
425that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
426
427This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
428
429Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before the L<AnyEvent> has been
430initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
431C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
432available.

316 437
317None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 438This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
439context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
440own logging context.
318 441
319#TODO: wahst a context 442A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
320#TODO 443propagating the message.
444
445For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
446levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
447by this context (masked).
448
449For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
450timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
451it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
452actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
453whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
454
455For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<slave
456contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
457masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all slave
458contexts.
459
460Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
461context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
462message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
463
464=head2 DEFAULTS
465
466By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
467disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
468
469Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
470
471They have exactly one slave - the context of the "parent" package. The
472parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
473component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
474and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> which is the
475exception of the rule - just like the "parent" of any single-component
476package name in Perl is C<main>, the default slave of any top-level
477package context is C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>.
478
479Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this slave
480context can of course be removed.
481
482All other (anonymous) contexts have no slaves and an empty title by
483default.
484
485When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
486context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
487anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
488a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
489additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
490
491It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
492purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
493than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
494C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
495is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
496
497Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
498and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
499leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
500messages system-wide.
501
502The hierarchy is then:
503
504 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
505
506The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
507C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
508from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
509priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
510to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
511
512This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
513but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
514messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
515additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
516level.
517
518It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
519something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
520(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

836You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>

1016=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
1017
1018Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
1019C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
1020
1021The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
1022by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
1023context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
1024configuration directives, here are some examples:
1025
1026 # set default logging level
1027 filter=warn
1028
1029 # log to file instead of to stderr
1030 log=file=/tmp/mylog
1031
1032 # log to file in addition to stderr
1033 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
1034
1035 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
1036 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1037
1038 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1039 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1040
1041A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1042
1043=over 4
1044
1045=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1046
1047Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1048C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1049
1050=item C<%name>
1051
1052Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1053name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1054default they have no attached slaves.
1055
1056=item a perl package name
1057
1058Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1059Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1060context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1061C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1062
1063=back
1064
1065The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1066
1067=over 4
1068
1069=item C<stderr>
1070
1071Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1072logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1073
1074=item C<file=>I<path>
1075
1076Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1077C<log_to_file>.
1078
1079=item C<path=>I<path>
1080
1081Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1082C<log_to_path>.
1083
1084=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1085
1086Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1087evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1088
1089 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1090
1091=item C<nolog>
1092
1093Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1094default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1095
1096=item C<0> or C<off>
1097
1098Sets the logging level of the context ot C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1099filtered out.
1100
1101=item C<all>
1102
1103Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1104off (the default).
1105
1106=item C<only>
1107
1108Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1109level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1110
1111Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1112
1113 context=only,debug
1114
1115=item C<except>
1116
1117Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1118level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1119
1120Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1121nonsensical).
1122
1123 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1124
1125=item C<level>
1126
1127Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1128level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1129message". This is the default.
1130
1131Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1132
1133 filter=warn
1134
1135 # or, more verbose
1136 filter=only,level,warn
1137
1138=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1139
1140A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1141to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1142specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1143
1144=item C<+>I<context>
1145
1146Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1147
1148=item C<+>
1149
1150A line C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1151context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1152but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1153
1154Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1155default log collector.
1156
1157 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1158
1159=back
1160
1161Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1162usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1163spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1164
1165 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1166
1167Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1168specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1169
1170 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1171 filter=warn
1172 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1173 %trace=only,trace,+log
1174 " myprog
1175
1176Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1177use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1178module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1179
1180 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
1181

1237=head1 EXAMPLES
1238
1239This section shows some common configurations, both as code, and as
1240C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> string.
1241
1242=over 4
1243
1244=item Setting the global logging level.
1245
1246Either put C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=><number> into your environment before
1247running your program, use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> or modify the log level of
1248the root context at runtime:
1249
1250 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
1251
1252 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=warn
1253
1254 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
1255
1256=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
1257
1258This is affected by the global logging level.
1259
1260 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path);
1261
1262 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=file=/some/path
1263
1264=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
1265
1266This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
1267it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
1268filtering.
1269
1270 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach (
1271 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1272
1273 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=+%filelogger:%filelogger=file=/some/path
1274
1275This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
1276attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
1277the global filtering.
1278
1279 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
1280 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1281
1282 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=%filelogger=file=/some/path:collect=+%filelogger
1283
1284In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
1285
1286=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
1287
1288Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
1289context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
1290
1291 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
1292 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
1293
1294 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=AnyEvent::Debug=+log
1295
1296This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
1297assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
1298default.
