70=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
71
72Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
73(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
74priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
75numerical value".
76
77Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
78
79 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
80 1 fatal emerg exit system unusable, aborts program!
81 2 alert failure in primary system
82 3 critical crit failure in backup system
83 4 error err die non-urgent program errors, a bug
84 5 warn warning possible problem, not necessarily error
85 6 note notice unusual conditions
86 7 info normal messages, no action required
87 8 debug debugging messages for development
88 9 trace copious tracing output
89
90As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
91is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
92and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting (only!) that you log C<die>
93messages at C<error> priority. The NOTE column tries to provide some
94rationale on how to chose a logging level.
95
96As a rough guideline, levels 1..3 are primarily meant for users of
97the program (admins, staff), and are the only logged to STDERR by
98default. Levels 4..6 are meant for users and developers alike, while
99levels 7..9 are usually meant for developers.
100
101You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
102(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
103program - so use it sparingly :)
104
105Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
106or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

406By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
407eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
408true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
409time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
410that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
411
412This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
413
414Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before the L<AnyEvent> has been
415initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
416C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes

1001=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
1002
1003Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
1004C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
1005
1006The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
1007by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
1008context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
1009configuration directives, here are some examples:
1010
1011 # set default logging level
1012 filter=warn
1013
1014 # log to file instead of to stderr
1015 log=file=/tmp/mylog
1016
1017 # log to file in addition to stderr
1018 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
1019
1020 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
1021 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1022
1023 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1024 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1025
1026A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1027
1028=over 4
1029
1030=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1031
1032Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1033C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1034
1035=item C<%name>
1036
1037Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1038name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1039default they have no attached slaves.
1040
1041=item a perl package name
1042
1043Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1044Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1045context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1046C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1047

1050The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1051
1052=over 4
1053
1054=item C<stderr>
1055
1056Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1057logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1058
1059=item C<file=>I<path>
1060
1061Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1062C<log_to_file>.
1063
1064=item C<path=>I<path>
1065
1066Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1067C<log_to_path>.
1068
1069=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1070
1071Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1072evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1073
1074 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1075
1076=item C<nolog>
1077
1078Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1079default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1080
1081=item C<0> or C<off>
1082
1083Sets the logging level of the context ot C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1084filtered out.
1085
1086=item C<all>
1087
1088Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1089off (the default).
1090
1091=item C<only>
1092
1093Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1094level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1095
1096Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1097
1098 context=only,debug
1099
1100=item C<except>
1101
1102Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1103level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1104
1105Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1106nonsensical).
1107
1108 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1109
1110=item C<level>
1111
1112Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1113level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1114message". This is the default.
1115
1116Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1117
1118 filter=warn
1119
1120 # or, more verbose
1121 filter=only,level,warn
1122
1123=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1124
1125A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1126to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1127specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1128
1129=item C<+>I<context>
1130
1131Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1132
1133=item C<+>
1134
1135A line C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1136context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1137but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1138
1139Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1140default log collector.
1141
1142 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1143
1144=back
1145
1146Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1147usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1148spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1149
1150 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1151
1152Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1153specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1154
1155 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1156 filter=warn
1157 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1158 %trace=only,trace,+log
1159 " myprog
1160
1161Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1162use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1163module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1164
1165 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
1166

1224This section shows some common configurations, both as code, and as
1225C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> string.
1226

1231Either put C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=><number> into your environment before
1232running your program, use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> or modify the log level of
1233the root context at runtime:
1234

1236
1237 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=warn
1238
1239 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
1240
1241=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
1242
1243This is affected by the global logging level.

1245 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path);

851In both cases, messages are still written to STDOUT. 1269In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.

861 $debug->levels ("trace"); # not "level"!
862 1278
863This of course works for any package. 1279 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=AnyEvent::Debug=+log
1280
1281This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
1282assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
1283default.
