51something like:
20 52
21Possible future extensions are to allow custom log targets (where the 53 use AnyEvent::Log;
22level is an object), log filtering based on package, formatting, aliasing 54 AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("info");
23or package groups.
24 55
56The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
57but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module, and
58extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to multiple
59targets, or being able to log into a database.
60
61The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the module is
62still just below 300 lines of code.
63
64=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
65
66Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
67(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
68priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
69numerical value".
70
71Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
72
73 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
74 1 fatal emerg exit aborts program!
75 2 alert
76 3 critical crit
77 4 error err die
78 5 warn warning
79 6 note notice
80 7 info
81 8 debug
82 9 trace
83
84As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
85is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
86and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting that you log C<die> messages
87at C<error> priority.
88
89You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
90(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
91program - so use it sparingly :)
92
93Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
94or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

178tracing some code), you should look into using a logger callback and a
179boolean enabler (see C<logger>, below).

253=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 380=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
254 381
255None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 382This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
383context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
384own logging context.
385
386A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
387propagating the message.
388
389For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
390levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
391by this context (masked).
392
393For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
394timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
395it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
396actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
397whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
398
399For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<slave
400contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
401masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all slave
402contexts.
403
404Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
405context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
406message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
407
408=head2 DEFAULTS
409
410By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
411disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
412
413Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
414
415They have exactly one slave - the context of the "parent" package. The
416parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
417component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
418and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> which is the
419exception of the rule - just like the "parent" of any single-component
420package name in Perl is C<main>, the default slave of any top-level
421package context is C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>.
422
423Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this slave
424context can of course be removed.
425
426All other (anonymous) contexts have no slaves and an empty title by
427default.
428
429When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
430context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
431anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
432a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
433additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
434
435It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
436purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
437than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
438C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
439is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
440
441Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
442and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
443leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
444messages system-wide.
445
446The hierarchy is then:
447
448 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
449
450The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
451C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
452from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
453priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
454to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
455
456This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
457but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
458messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
459additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
460level.
461
462It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
463something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
464(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

472This function creates or returns a logging context (which is an object).
473
474If a package name is given, then the context for that packlage is
475returned. If it is called without any arguments, then the context for the
476callers package is returned (i.e. the same context as a C<AE::log> call
477would use).
478
479If C<undef> is given, then it creates a new anonymous context that is not
480tied to any package and is destroyed when no longer referenced.

553
554This is a convenience constructor that makes it simpler to construct
555anonymous logging contexts.
556
557Each key-value pair results in an invocation of the method of the same
558name as the key with the value as parameter, unless the value is an
559arrayref, in which case it calls the method with the contents of the
560array. The methods are called in the same order as specified.
561
562Example: create a new logging context and set both the default logging
563level, some slave contexts and a logging callback.
564
565 $ctx = new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
566 title => "dubious messages",

611
612=head3 LOGGING LEVELS
613
614The following methods deal with the logging level set associated with the
615log context.
616
617The most common method to use is probably C<< $ctx->level ($level) >>,
618which configures the specified and any higher priority levels.
619
620All functions which accept a list of levels also accept the special string
621C<all> which expands to all logging levels.
622
623=over 4
624
625=item $ctx->levels ($level[, $level...)
626
627Enables logging for the given levels and disables it for all others.
628
629=item $ctx->level ($level)
630
631Enables logging for the given level and all lower level (higher priority)
632ones. In addition to normal logging levels, specifying a level of C<0> or
633C<off> disables all logging for this level.
634
635Example: log warnings, errors and higher priority messages.
636
637 $ctx->level ("warn");
638 $ctx->level (5); # same thing, just numeric
639
640=item $ctx->enable ($level[, $level...])
641
642Enables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.
643
644=item $ctx->disable ($level[, $level...])
645
646Disables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.

692=head3 SLAVE CONTEXTS
693
694The following methods attach and detach another logging context to a
695logging context.
696
697Log messages are propagated to all slave contexts, unless the logging
698callback consumes the message.
699
700=over 4
701
702=item $ctx->attach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
703
704Attaches the given contexts as slaves to this context. It is not an error
705to add a context twice (the second add will be ignored).
706
707A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
708
709=item $ctx->detach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
710
711Removes the given slaves from this context - it's not an error to attempt
712to remove a context that hasn't been added.
713
714A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
715
716=item $ctx->slaves ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
717
718Replaces all slaves attached to this context by the ones given.

721

737 undef $_[0][2];
738 &attach;
739}
740

742
743=head3 LOG TARGETS
744
745The following methods configure how the logging context actually does
746the logging (which consists of formatting the message and printing it or
747whatever it wants to do with it).
748
749=over 4
750
751=item $ctx->log_cb ($cb->($str)
752
753Replaces the logging callback on the context (C<undef> disables the
754logging callback).
755
756The logging callback is responsible for handling formatted log messages
757(see C<fmt_cb> below) - normally simple text strings that end with a
758newline (and are possibly multiline themselves).
759
760It also has to return true iff it has consumed the log message, and false
761if it hasn't. Consuming a message means that it will not be sent to any
762slave context. When in doubt, return C<0> from your logging callback.
763
764Example: a very simple logging callback, simply dump the message to STDOUT
765and do not consume it.
766
767 $ctx->log_cb (sub { print STDERR shift; 0 });
768
769You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
770and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
771being logged" and might not be very efficient.
772
773Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
774"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
775your program.
776
777 $ctx->levels ("debug", "trace");
778 $ctx->log_cb (sub { 1 }); # do not log, but eat debug and trace messages
779
780=item $ctx->fmt_cb ($fmt_cb->($timestamp, $orig_ctx, $level, $message))
781
782Replaces the formatting callback on the context (C<undef> restores the
783default formatter).
784
785The callback is passed the (possibly fractional) timestamp, the original
786logging context, the (numeric) logging level and the raw message string
787and needs to return a formatted log message. In most cases this will be a
788string, but it could just as well be an array reference that just stores
789the values.
790
791If, for some reason, you want to use C<caller> to find out more baout the
792logger then you should walk up the call stack until you are no longer
793inside the C<AnyEvent::Log> package.
794
795Example: format just the raw message, with numeric log level in angle
796brackets.
797
798 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub {
799 my ($time, $ctx, $lvl, $msg) = @_;
800
801 "<$lvl>$msg\n"
802 });
803
804Example: return an array reference with just the log values, and use
805C<PApp::SQL::sql_exec> to store the emssage in a database.
806
807 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub { \@_ });
808 $ctx->log_cb (sub {
809 my ($msg) = @_;
810
811 sql_exec "insert into log (when, subsys, prio, msg) values (?, ?, ?, ?)",
812 $msg->[0] + 0,
813 "$msg->[1]",
814 $msg->[2] + 0,
815 "$msg->[3]";
816
817 0
818 });
819
820=item $ctx->log_to_warn
821
822Sets the C<log_cb> to simply use C<CORE::warn> to report any messages
823(usually this logs to STDERR).
824
825=item $ctx->log_to_file ($path)
826
827Sets the C<log_cb> to log to a file (by appending), unbuffered.
828
829=item $ctx->log_to_path ($path)
830
831Same as C<< ->log_to_file >>, but opens the file for each message. This
832is much slower, but allows you to change/move/rename/delete the file at
833basically any time.
834
835Needless(?) to say, if you do not want to be bitten by some evil person
836calling C<chdir>, the path should be absolute. Doesn't help with
837C<chroot>, but hey...
838
839=item $ctx->log_to_syslog ([$log_flags])
840
841Logs all messages via L<Sys::Syslog>, mapping C<trace> to C<debug> and all
842the others in the obvious way. If specified, then the C<$log_flags> are
843simply or'ed onto the priority argument and can contain any C<LOG_xxx>
844flags valid for Sys::Syslog::syslog, except for the priority levels.
845
846Note that this function also sets a C<fmt_cb> - the logging part requires
847an array reference with [$level, $str] as input.

947=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
948
949Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
950C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
951
952The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
953by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
954context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
955configuration directives, here are some examples:
956
957 # set default logging level
958 filter=warn
959
960 # log to file instead of to stderr
961 log=file=/tmp/mylog
962
963 # log to file in addition to stderr
964 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
965
966 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
967 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
968
969 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
970 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
971
972A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
973
974=over 4
975
976=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
977
978Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
979C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
980
981=item C<%name>
982
983Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
984name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
985default they have no attached slaves.
986
987=item a perl package name
988
989Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
990Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
991context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
992C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
993
994=back
995
996The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
997
998=over 4
999
1000=item C<stderr>
1001
1002Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1003logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1004
1005=item C<file=>I<path>
1006
1007Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1008C<log_to_file>.
1009
1010=item C<path=>I<path>
1011
1012Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1013C<log_to_path>.
1014
1015=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1016
1017Configured the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1018evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1019
1020 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1021
1022=item C<nolog>
1023
1024Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1025default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1026
1027=item C<0> or C<off>
1028
1029Sets the logging level of the context ot C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1030filtered out.
1031
1032=item C<all>
1033
1034Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1035off (the default).
1036
1037=item C<only>
1038
1039Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1040level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1041
1042Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1043
1044 context=only,debug
1045
1046=item C<except>
1047
1048Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1049level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1050
1051Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1052nonsensical).
1053
1054 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1055
1056=item C<level>
1057
1058Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1059level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1060message". This is the default.
1061
1062Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1063
1064 filter=warn
1065
1066 # or, more verbose
1067 filter=only,level,warn
1068
1069=item C<1>..C<9>, a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1070
1071A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1072to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1073specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1074
1075=item C<+>I<context>
1076
1077Adds/attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1078
1079=item C<+>
1080
1081A line C<+> clears the slave list form the context. Anonymous (C<%name>)
1082contexts have no slaves by default, but package contexts have the parent
1083context as slave by default.
1084
1085Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1086default log collector.
1087
1088 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1089
1090=back
1091
1092Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1093usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and space in the
1094filename, you would do this:
1095
1096 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1097
1098Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1099specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1100
1101 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1102 filter=warn
1103 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1104 %trace=only,trace,+log
1105 " myprog
1106
1107Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1108use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1109module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1110
1111 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
1112
1113=cut

1168=head1 EXAMPLES
1169
1170This section shows some common configurations, both as code, and as
1171C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> string.
1172
1173=over 4
1174
1175=item Setting the global logging level.
1176
1177Either put C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=><number> into your environment before
1178running your program, use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> or modify the log level of
1179the root context at runtime:
1180
1181 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
1182
1183 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=warn
1184
1185 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
1186
1187=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
1188
1189This is affected by the global logging level.
1190
1191 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path);
1192
1193 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=file=/some/path
1194
1195=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
1196
1197This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
1198it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
1199filtering.
1200
1201 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach
1202 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1203
1204 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=+%filelogger:%filelogger=file=/some/path
1205
1206This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
1207attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
1208the global filtering.
1209
1210 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
1211 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1212
1213 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=%filelogger=file=/some/path:collect=+%filelogger
1214
1215In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
1216
1217=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
1218
1219Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
1220context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
1221
1222 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
1223 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
1224
1225 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=AnyEvent::Debug=+log
1226
1227This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
1228assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
1229default.
