65case some of the functionality might be reduced.

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 aborts program!
81 2 alert
82 3 critical crit
83 4 error err die
84 5 warn warning
85 6 note notice
86 7 info
87 8 debug
88 9 trace
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.
94
95You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
96(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
97program - so use it sparingly :)
98
99Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
100or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

398By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
399eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
400true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
401time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
402that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
403
404This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
405
406Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before the L<AnyEvent> has been
407initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
408C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
409available.

987The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
988by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
989context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
990configuration directives, here are some examples:
991
992 # set default logging level
993 filter=warn
994
995 # log to file instead of to stderr
996 log=file=/tmp/mylog
997
998 # log to file in addition to stderr
999 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
1000
1001 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
1002 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1003
1004 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1005 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1006
1007A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1008
1009=over 4
1010
1011=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1012
1013Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1014C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1015
1016=item C<%name>
1017
1018Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1019name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1020default they have no attached slaves.
1021
1022=item a perl package name
1023
1024Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1025Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1026context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1027C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1028
1029=back
1030
1031The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1032
1033=over 4
1034
1035=item C<stderr>
1036
1037Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1038logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1039
1040=item C<file=>I<path>
1041
1042Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1043C<log_to_file>.
1044
1045=item C<path=>I<path>
1046
1047Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1048C<log_to_path>.
1049
1050=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1051
1052Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1053evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1054
1055 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1056
1057=item C<nolog>
1058
1059Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1060default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1061
1062=item C<0> or C<off>
1063
1064Sets the logging level of the context ot C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1065filtered out.
1066
1067=item C<all>
1068
1069Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1070off (the default).
1071
1072=item C<only>
1073
1074Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1075level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1076
1077Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1078
1079 context=only,debug
1080
1081=item C<except>
1082
1083Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1084level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1085
1086Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1087nonsensical).
1088
1089 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1090
1091=item C<level>
1092
1093Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1094level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1095message". This is the default.
1096
1097Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1098
1099 filter=warn
1100
1101 # or, more verbose
1102 filter=only,level,warn
1103
1104=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1105
1106A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1107to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1108specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1109
1110=item C<+>I<context>
1111
1112Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1113
1114=item C<+>
1115
1116A line C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1117context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1118but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1119
1120Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1121default log collector.
1122
1123 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1124
1125=back
1126
1127Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1128usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1129spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1130
1131 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1132
1133Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1134specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1135
1136 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1137 filter=warn
1138 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1139 %trace=only,trace,+log
1140 " myprog
1141
1142Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1143use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1144module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1145
1146 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
1147

1205This section shows some common configurations, both as code, and as
1206C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> string.

1212Either put C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=><number> into your environment before
1213running your program, use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> or modify the log level of
1214the root context at runtime:

1220 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
1221
1222=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.

1224This is affected by the global logging level.
1225
1226 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path);

864In both cases, messages are still written to STDOUT. 1250In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.

874 $debug->levels ("trace"); # not "level"!
875 1259
876This of course works for any package. 1260 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=AnyEvent::Debug=+log
1261
1262This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
1263assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
1264default.
