81case some of the functionality might be reduced.

85
86=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
87
88Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
89(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
90priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
91numerical value".
92
93Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
94
95 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
96 1 fatal emerg exit system unusable, aborts program!
97 2 alert failure in primary system
98 3 critical crit failure in backup system
99 4 error err die non-urgent program errors, a bug
100 5 warn warning possible problem, not necessarily error
101 6 note notice unusual conditions
102 7 info normal messages, no action required
103 8 debug debugging messages for development
104 9 trace copious tracing output
105
106As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
107is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
108and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting (only!) that you log C<die>
109messages at C<error> priority. The NOTE column tries to provide some
110rationale on how to chose a logging level.
111
112As a rough guideline, levels 1..3 are primarily meant for users of the
113program (admins, staff), and are the only ones logged to STDERR by
114default. Levels 4..6 are meant for users and developers alike, while
115levels 7..9 are usually meant for developers.
116
117You can normally only log a message once at highest priority level (C<1>,
118C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the program - so
119use it sparingly :)
120
121For example, a program that finds an unknown switch on the commandline
122might well use a fatal logging level to tell users about it - the "system"
123in this case would be the program, or module.
124
125Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
126or C<all> - these are only valid for the methods that documented them.

61callable as C<AnyEvent::log> or C<AE::log> when the C<AnyEvent> module is 132C<log>, is aliased to C<AnyEvent::log> and C<AE::log> when the C<AnyEvent>

446By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
447eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
448true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
449time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
450that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
451
452This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
453
454Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before the L<AnyEvent> has been
455initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
456C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
457available.

459=item AnyEvent::Log::format_time $timestamp
460
461Formats a timestamp as returned by C<< AnyEvent->now >> or C<<
462AnyEvent->time >> or many other functions in the same way as
463C<AnyEvent::Log> does.
464
465In your main program (as opposed to in your module) you can override
466the default timestamp display format by loading this module and then
467redefining this function.
468
469Most commonly, this function can be used in formatting callbacks.

477function is provided.

484
485This is the function that is called after logging a C<fatal> log
486message. It must not return.

488The default implementation simply calls C<exit 1>.
489
490In your main program (as opposed to in your module) you can override

774Caps the maximum priority to the given level, for all messages logged
775to, or passing through, this context. That is, while this doesn't affect
776whether a message is logged or passed on, the maximum priority of messages
777will be limited to the specified level - messages with a higher priority
778will be set to the specified priority.
779
780Another way to view this is that C<< ->level >> filters out messages with
781a too low priority, while C<< ->cap >> modifies messages with a too high
782priority.
783
784This is useful when different log targets have different interpretations
785of priority. For example, for a specific command line program, a wrong
786command line switch might well result in a C<fatal> log message, while the
787same message, logged to syslog, is likely I<not> fatal to the system or
788syslog facility as a whole, but more likely a mere C<error>.
789
790This can be modeled by having a stderr logger that logs messages "as-is"
791and a syslog logger that logs messages with a level cap of, say, C<error>,
792or, for truly system-critical components, actually C<critical>.

943
944If, for some reason, you want to use C<caller> to find out more about the
945logger then you should walk up the call stack until you are no longer
946inside the C<AnyEvent::Log> package.
947
948To implement your own logging callback, you might find the
949C<AnyEvent::Log::format_time> and C<AnyEvent::Log::default_format>
950functions useful.
951
952Example: format the message just as AnyEvent::Log would, by letting
953AnyEvent::Log do the work. This is a good basis to design a formatting
954callback that only changes minor aspects of the formatting.

987=item $ctx->log_to_warn
988
989Sets the C<log_cb> to simply use C<CORE::warn> to report any messages
990(usually this logs to STDERR).
991
992=item $ctx->log_to_file ($path)
993
994Sets the C<log_cb> to log to a file (by appending), unbuffered. The
995function might return before the log file has been opened or created.
996
997=item $ctx->log_to_path ($path)
998
999Same as C<< ->log_to_file >>, but opens the file for each message. This
1000is much slower, but allows you to change/move/rename/delete the file at
1001basically any time.
1002
1003Needless(?) to say, if you do not want to be bitten by some evil person
1004calling C<chdir>, the path should be absolute. Doesn't help with
1005C<chroot>, but hey...
1006
1007=item $ctx->log_to_syslog ([$facility])
1008
1009Logs all messages via L<Sys::Syslog>, mapping C<trace> to C<debug> and
1010all the others in the obvious way. If specified, then the C<$facility> is
1011used as the facility (C<user>, C<auth>, C<local0> and so on). The default
1012facility is C<user>.
1013
1014Note that this function also sets a C<fmt_cb> - the logging part requires
1015an array reference with [$level, $str] as input.

1193=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
1194
1195Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
1196C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
1197
1198The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
1199by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
1200context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
1201configuration directives, here are some examples:
1202
1203 # set default logging level
1204 filter=warn
1205
1206 # log to file instead of to stderr
1207 log=file=/tmp/mylog
1208
1209 # log to file in addition to stderr
1210 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
1211
1212 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
1213 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1214
1215 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1216 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1217
1218A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1219
1220=over 4
1221
1222=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1223
1224Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1225C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1226
1227=item C<%name>
1228
1229Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1230name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1231default they have no attached slaves.
1232
1233=item a perl package name
1234
1235Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1236Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1237context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1238C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1239
1240=back
1241
1242The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1243
1244=over 4
1245
1246=item C<stderr>
1247
1248Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1249logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1250
1251=item C<file=>I<path>
1252
1253Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1254C<log_to_file>.
1255
1256=item C<path=>I<path>
1257
1258Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1259C<log_to_path>.
1260
1261=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1262
1263Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1264evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1265
1266 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1267
1268=item C<nolog>
1269
1270Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1271default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1272
1273=item C<cap=>I<level>
1274
1275Caps logging messages entering this context at the given level, i.e.
1276reduces the priority of messages with higher priority than this level. The
1277default is C<0> (or C<off>), meaning the priority will not be touched.
1278
1279=item C<0> or C<off>
1280
1281Sets the logging level of the context to C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1282filtered out.
1283
1284=item C<all>
1285
1286Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1287off (the default).
1288
1289=item C<only>
1290
1291Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1292level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1293
1294Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1295
1296 context=only,debug
1297
1298=item C<except>
1299
1300Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1301level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1302
1303Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1304nonsensical).
1305
1306 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1307
1308=item C<level>
1309
1310Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1311level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1312message". This is the default.
1313
1314Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1315
1316 filter=warn
1317
1318 # or, more verbose
1319 filter=only,level,warn
1320
1321=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1322
1323A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1324to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1325specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1326
1327=item C<+>I<context>
1328
1329Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1330
1331=item C<+>
1332
1333A lone C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1334context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1335but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1336
1337Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1338default log collector.
1339
1340 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1341
1342=back
1343
1344Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1345usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1346spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1347
1348 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1349
1350Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1351specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1352
1353 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1354 filter=warn
1355 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1356 %trace=only,trace,+log
1357 " myprog
1358
1359Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1360use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1361module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1362
1363 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"

1503This module uses L<AnyEvent::IO> to actually write log messages (in
1504C<log_to_file> and C<log_to_path>), so it doesn't block your program when
1505the disk is busy and a non-blocking L<AnyEvent::IO> backend is available.
