51something like:
37 52
38Possible future extensions are to allow custom log targets (where the 53 use AnyEvent::Log;
39level is an object), log filtering based on package, formatting, aliasing 54 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("info");
40or package groups.
41 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 module is also usable before AnyEvent itself is initialised, in which
62case some of the functionality might be reduced.
63
64The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the runtime part
65of the module is still just below 300 lines of code.
66
67=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
68
69Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
70(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
71priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
72numerical value".
73
74Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
75
76 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
77 1 fatal emerg exit aborts program!
78 2 alert
79 3 critical crit
80 4 error err die
81 5 warn warning
82 6 note notice
83 7 info
84 8 debug
85 9 trace
86
87As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
88is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
89and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting that you log C<die> messages
90at C<error> priority.
91
92You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
93(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
94program - so use it sparingly :)
95
96Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
97or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

311#TODO 393=item AnyEvent::Log::exact_time $on
394
395By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
396eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
397true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
398time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
399that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
400
401This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
402
403Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before the L<AnyEvent> has been
404initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
405C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
406available.

315=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 410=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
316 411
317None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 412This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
413context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
414own logging context.
318 415
319#TODO: wahst a context 416A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
320#TODO 417propagating the message.
418
419For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
420levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
421by this context (masked).
422
423For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
424timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
425it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
426actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
427whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
428
429For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<slave
430contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
431masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all slave
432contexts.
433
434Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
435context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
436message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
437
438=head2 DEFAULTS
439
440By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
441disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
442
443Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
444
445They have exactly one slave - the context of the "parent" package. The
446parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
447component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
448and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> which is the
449exception of the rule - just like the "parent" of any single-component
450package name in Perl is C<main>, the default slave of any top-level
451package context is C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>.
452
453Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this slave
454context can of course be removed.
455
456All other (anonymous) contexts have no slaves and an empty title by
457default.
458
459When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
460context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
461anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
462a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
463additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
464
465It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
466purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
467than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
468C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
469is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
470
471Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
472and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
473leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
474messages system-wide.
475
476The hierarchy is then:
477
478 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
479
480The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
481C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
482from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
483priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
484to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
485
486This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
487but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
488messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
489additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
490level.
491
492It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
493something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
494(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

981Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
982C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
983
984The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
985by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
986context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
987configuration directives, here are some examples:
988
989 # set default logging level
990 filter=warn
991
992 # log to file instead of to stderr
993 log=file=/tmp/mylog
994
995 # log to file in addition to stderr
996 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
997
998 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
999 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1000
1001 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1002 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1003
1004A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1005
1006=over 4
1007
1008=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1009
1010Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1011C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1012
1013=item C<%name>
1014
1015Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1016name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1017default they have no attached slaves.
1018
1019=item a perl package name
1020
1021Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1022Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1023context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1024C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1025
1026=back
1027
1028The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1029
1030=over 4
1031
1032=item C<stderr>
1033
1034Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1035logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1036
1037=item C<file=>I<path>
1038
1039Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1040C<log_to_file>.
1041
1042=item C<path=>I<path>
1043
1044Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1045C<log_to_path>.
1046
1047=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1048
1049Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1050evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1051
1052 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1053
1054=item C<nolog>
1055
1056Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1057default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1058
1059=item C<0> or C<off>
1060
1061Sets the logging level of the context ot C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1062filtered out.
1063
1064=item C<all>
1065
1066Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1067off (the default).
1068
1069=item C<only>
1070
1071Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1072level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1073
1074Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1075
1076 context=only,debug
1077
1078=item C<except>
1079
1080Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1081level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1082
1083Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1084nonsensical).
1085
1086 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1087
1088=item C<level>
1089
1090Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1091level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1092message". This is the default.
1093
1094Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1095
1096 filter=warn
1097
1098 # or, more verbose
1099 filter=only,level,warn
1100
1101=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1102
1103A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1104to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1105specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1106
1107=item C<+>I<context>
1108
1109Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1110
1111=item C<+>
1112
1113A line C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1114context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1115but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1116
1117Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1118default log collector.
1119
1120 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1121
1122=back
1123
1124Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1125usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1126spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1127
1128 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1129
1130Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1131specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1132
1133 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1134 filter=warn
1135 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1136 %trace=only,trace,+log
1137 " myprog
1138
1139Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1140use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1141module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1142
1143 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="$PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG MyMod=debug"
1144

1200=head1 EXAMPLES
1201
1202This section shows some common configurations, both as code, and as
1203C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> string.
1204
1205=over 4
1206
1207=item Setting the global logging level.
1208
1209Either put C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=><number> into your environment before
1210running your program, use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> or modify the log level of
1211the root context at runtime:
1212
1213 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
1214
1215 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=warn
1216
1217 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
1218
1219=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
1220
1221This is affected by the global logging level.
1222
1223 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path);
1224
1225 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=file=/some/path
1226
1227=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
1228
1229This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
1230it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
1231filtering.
1232
1233 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach
1234 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1235
1236 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=+%filelogger:%filelogger=file=/some/path
1237
1238This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
1239attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
1240the global filtering.
1241
1242 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
1243 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1244
1245 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=%filelogger=file=/some/path:collect=+%filelogger
1246
1247In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
1248
1249=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
1250
1251Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
1252context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
1253
1254 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
1255 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
1256
1257 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=AnyEvent::Debug=+log
1258
1259This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
1260assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
1261default.
