9=head1 DESCRIPTION 43=head1 DESCRIPTION
10 44
45This module implements a relatively simple "logging framework". It doesn't
46attempt to be "the" logging solution or even "a" logging solution for
47AnyEvent - AnyEvent simply creates logging messages internally, and this
48module more or less exposes the mechanism, with some extra spiff to allow
49using it from other modules as well.
50
51Remember that the default verbosity level is C<0> (C<off>), so nothing
52will be logged, unless you set C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> to a higher number
53before starting your program, or change the logging level at runtime with
54something like:
55
56 use AnyEvent::Log;
57 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("info");
58
59The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
60but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module, and
61extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to multiple
62targets, or being able to log into a database.
63
64The module is also usable before AnyEvent itself is initialised, in which
65case some of the functionality might be reduced.
66
67The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the runtime part
68of the module is still just below 300 lines of code.
69
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.
101
11=head1 FUNCTIONS 102=head1 LOGGING FUNCTIONS
103
104These functions allow you to log messages. They always use the caller's
105package as a "logging context". Also, the main logging function C<log> is
106callable as C<AnyEvent::log> or C<AE::log> when the C<AnyEvent> module is
107loaded.

154=item AnyEvent::Log::log $level, $msg[, @args]
155
156Requests logging of the given C<$msg> with the given log level, and
157returns true if the message was logged I<somewhere>.
158
159For loglevel C<fatal>, the program will abort.
160
161If only a C<$msg> is given, it is logged as-is. With extra C<@args>, the
162C<$msg> is interpreted as an sprintf format string.
163
164The C<$msg> should not end with C<\n>, but may if that is convenient for
165you. Also, multiline messages are handled properly.
166
167Last not least, C<$msg> might be a code reference, in which case it is
168supposed to return the message. It will be called only then the message
169actually gets logged, which is useful if it is costly to create the
170message in the first place.
171
172Whether the given message will be logged depends on the maximum log level
173and the caller's package. The return value can be used to ensure that
174messages or not "lost" - for example, when L<AnyEvent::Debug> detects a
175runtime error it tries to log it at C<die> level, but if that message is
176lost it simply uses warn.
177
178Note that you can (and should) call this function as C<AnyEvent::log> or
179C<AE::log>, without C<use>-ing this module if possible (i.e. you don't
180need any additional functionality), as those functions will load the
181logging module on demand only. They are also much shorter to write.
182
183Also, if you optionally generate a lot of debug messages (such as when
184tracing some code), you should look into using a logger callback and a
185boolean enabler (see C<logger>, below).
186
187Example: log something at error level.
188
189 AE::log error => "something";
190
191Example: use printf-formatting.
192
193 AE::log info => "%5d %-10.10s %s", $index, $category, $msg;
194
195Example: only generate a costly dump when the message is actually being logged.

304
305Creates a code reference that, when called, acts as if the
306C<AnyEvent::Log::log> function was called at this point with the given
307level. C<$logger> is passed a C<$msg> and optional C<@args>, just as with
308the C<AnyEvent::Log::log> function:
309
310 my $debug_log = AnyEvent::Log::logger "debug";
311
312 $debug_log->("debug here");
313 $debug_log->("%06d emails processed", 12345);
314 $debug_log->(sub { $obj->as_string });
315
316The idea behind this function is to decide whether to log before actually
317logging - when the C<logger> function is called once, but the returned
318logger callback often, then this can be a tremendous speed win.
319
320Despite this speed advantage, changes in logging configuration will
321still be reflected by the logger callback, even if configuration changes
322I<after> it was created.
323
324To further speed up logging, you can bind a scalar variable to the logger,
325which contains true if the logger should be called or not - if it is
326false, calling the logger can be safely skipped. This variable will be
327updated as long as C<$logger> is alive.
328
329Full example:
330
331 # near the init section
332 use AnyEvent::Log;
333
334 my $debug_log = AnyEvent:Log::logger debug => \my $debug;
335
336 # and later in your program
337 $debug_log->("yo, stuff here") if $debug;
338
339 $debug and $debug_log->("123");

397
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.

412
413=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
414
415This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
416context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
417own logging context.
418
419A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
420propagating the message.
421
422For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
423levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
424by this context (masked).
425
426For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
427timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
428it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
429actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
430whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
431
432For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<slave
433contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
434masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all slave
435contexts.
436
437Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
438context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
439message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
440
441=head2 DEFAULTS
442
443By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
444disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
445
446Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
447
448They have exactly one slave - the context of the "parent" package. The
449parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
450component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
451and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> which is the
452exception of the rule - just like the "parent" of any single-component
453package name in Perl is C<main>, the default slave of any top-level
454package context is C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>.
455
456Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this slave
457context can of course be removed.
458
459All other (anonymous) contexts have no slaves and an empty title by
460default.
461
462When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
463context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
464anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
465a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
466additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
467
468It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
469purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
470than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
471C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
472is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
473
474Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
475and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
476leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
477messages system-wide.
478
479The hierarchy is then:
480
481 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
482
483The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
484C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
485from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
486priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
487to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
488
489This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
490but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
491messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
492additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
493level.
494
495It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
496something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
497(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

502
503=item $ctx = AnyEvent::Log::ctx [$pkg]
504
505This function creates or returns a logging context (which is an object).
506
507If a package name is given, then the context for that packlage is
508returned. If it is called without any arguments, then the context for the
509callers package is returned (i.e. the same context as a C<AE::log> call
510would use).
511
512If C<undef> is given, then it creates a new anonymous context that is not
513tied to any package and is destroyed when no longer referenced.

529Resets all package contexts and recreates the default hierarchy if
530necessary, i.e. resets the logging subsystem to defaults, as much as
531possible. This process keeps references to contexts held by other parts of
532the program intact.

585=item $ctx = new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx methodname => param...
586
587This is a convenience constructor that makes it simpler to construct
588anonymous logging contexts.
589
590Each key-value pair results in an invocation of the method of the same
591name as the key with the value as parameter, unless the value is an
592arrayref, in which case it calls the method with the contents of the
593array. The methods are called in the same order as specified.
594
595Example: create a new logging context and set both the default logging
596level, some slave contexts and a logging callback.
597
598 $ctx = new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
599 title => "dubious messages",
600 level => "error",
601 log_cb => sub { print STDOUT shift; 0 },

623=head2 CONFIGURING A LOG CONTEXT
624
625The following methods can be used to configure the logging context.
626
627=over 4
628
629=item $ctx->title ([$new_title])
630
631Returns the title of the logging context - this is the package name, for
632package contexts, and a user defined string for all others.
633
634If C<$new_title> is given, then it replaces the package name or title.
635

644
645=head3 LOGGING LEVELS
646
647The following methods deal with the logging level set associated with the
648log context.
649
650The most common method to use is probably C<< $ctx->level ($level) >>,
651which configures the specified and any higher priority levels.
652
653All functions which accept a list of levels also accept the special string
654C<all> which expands to all logging levels.
655
656=over 4
657
658=item $ctx->levels ($level[, $level...)
659
660Enables logging for the given levels and disables it for all others.
661
662=item $ctx->level ($level)
663
664Enables logging for the given level and all lower level (higher priority)
665ones. In addition to normal logging levels, specifying a level of C<0> or
666C<off> disables all logging for this level.
667
668Example: log warnings, errors and higher priority messages.
669
670 $ctx->level ("warn");
671 $ctx->level (5); # same thing, just numeric
672
673=item $ctx->enable ($level[, $level...])
674
675Enables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.
676
677=item $ctx->disable ($level[, $level...])
678
679Disables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.

725=head3 SLAVE CONTEXTS
726
727The following methods attach and detach another logging context to a
728logging context.
729
730Log messages are propagated to all slave contexts, unless the logging
731callback consumes the message.
732
733=over 4
734
735=item $ctx->attach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
736
737Attaches the given contexts as slaves to this context. It is not an error
738to add a context twice (the second add will be ignored).
739
740A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
741
742=item $ctx->detach ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
743
744Removes the given slaves from this context - it's not an error to attempt
745to remove a context that hasn't been added.
746
747A context can be specified either as package name or as a context object.
748
749=item $ctx->slaves ($ctx2[, $ctx3...])
750
751Replaces all slaves attached to this context by the ones given.
752
753=cut
754
755sub attach {
756 my $ctx = shift;
757
758 $ctx->[2]{$_+0} = $_

761
762sub detach {
763 my $ctx = shift;
764
765 delete $ctx->[2]{$_+0}
766 for map { AnyEvent::Log::ctx $_ } @_;

769sub slaves {
770 undef $_[0][2];
771 &attach;
772}
773

775
776=head3 LOG TARGETS
777
778The following methods configure how the logging context actually does
779the logging (which consists of formatting the message and printing it or
780whatever it wants to do with it).
781
782=over 4
783
784=item $ctx->log_cb ($cb->($str)
785
786Replaces the logging callback on the context (C<undef> disables the
787logging callback).
788
789The logging callback is responsible for handling formatted log messages
790(see C<fmt_cb> below) - normally simple text strings that end with a
791newline (and are possibly multiline themselves).
792
793It also has to return true iff it has consumed the log message, and false
794if it hasn't. Consuming a message means that it will not be sent to any
795slave context. When in doubt, return C<0> from your logging callback.
796
797Example: a very simple logging callback, simply dump the message to STDOUT
798and do not consume it.
799
800 $ctx->log_cb (sub { print STDERR shift; 0 });
801
802You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
803and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
804being logged" and might not be very efficient.
805
806Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
807"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
808your program.
809
810 $ctx->levels ("debug", "trace");
811 $ctx->log_cb (sub { 1 }); # do not log, but eat debug and trace messages
812
813=item $ctx->fmt_cb ($fmt_cb->($timestamp, $orig_ctx, $level, $message))
814
815Replaces the formatting callback on the context (C<undef> restores the
816default formatter).
817
818The callback is passed the (possibly fractional) timestamp, the original
819logging context, the (numeric) logging level and the raw message string
820and needs to return a formatted log message. In most cases this will be a
821string, but it could just as well be an array reference that just stores
822the values.
823
824If, for some reason, you want to use C<caller> to find out more baout the
825logger then you should walk up the call stack until you are no longer
826inside the C<AnyEvent::Log> package.
827
828Example: format just the raw message, with numeric log level in angle
829brackets.
830
831 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub {
832 my ($time, $ctx, $lvl, $msg) = @_;
833
834 "<$lvl>$msg\n"
835 });
836
837Example: return an array reference with just the log values, and use
838C<PApp::SQL::sql_exec> to store the emssage in a database.
839
840 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub { \@_ });
841 $ctx->log_cb (sub {
842 my ($msg) = @_;
843
844 sql_exec "insert into log (when, subsys, prio, msg) values (?, ?, ?, ?)",
845 $msg->[0] + 0,
846 "$msg->[1]",
847 $msg->[2] + 0,
848 "$msg->[3]";
849
850 0
851 });
852
853=item $ctx->log_to_warn
854
855Sets the C<log_cb> to simply use C<CORE::warn> to report any messages
856(usually this logs to STDERR).
857
858=item $ctx->log_to_file ($path)
859
860Sets the C<log_cb> to log to a file (by appending), unbuffered.
861
862=item $ctx->log_to_path ($path)
863
864Same as C<< ->log_to_file >>, but opens the file for each message. This
865is much slower, but allows you to change/move/rename/delete the file at
866basically any time.
867
868Needless(?) to say, if you do not want to be bitten by some evil person
869calling C<chdir>, the path should be absolute. Doesn't help with
870C<chroot>, but hey...
871
872=item $ctx->log_to_syslog ([$facility])
873
874Logs all messages via L<Sys::Syslog>, mapping C<trace> to C<debug> and
875all the others in the obvious way. If specified, then the C<$facility> is
876used as the facility (C<user>, C<auth>, C<local0> and so on). The default
877facility is C<user>.
878
879Note that this function also sets a C<fmt_cb> - the logging part requires
880an array reference with [$level, $str] as input.

962=item $ctx->log ($level, $msg[, @params])

982=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
983
984Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
985C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
986
987The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
988by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
989context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
990configuration directives, here are some examples:
991
992 # set default logging level
993 filter=warn
994
995 # log to file instead of to stderr
996 log=file=/tmp/mylog
997
998 # log to file in addition to stderr
999 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
1000
1001 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
1002 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1003
1004 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1005 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1006
1007A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1008
1009=over 4
1010
1011=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1012
1013Correspond to the three predefined C<$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"

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

1210=item Setting the global logging level.
1211
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:
1215
1216 PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE=5 ./myprog
1217
1218 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=warn
1219
1220 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("warn");
1221
1222=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.
1223
1224This is affected by the global logging level.
1225
1226 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->log_to_file ($path);
1227
1228 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=log=file=/some/path
1229
1230=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
1231
1232This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
1233it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
1234filtering.
1235
1236 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach
1237 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1238
1239 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=+%filelogger:%filelogger=file=/some/path
1240
1241This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
1242attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
1243the global filtering.
1244
1245 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
1246 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1247
1248 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=%filelogger=file=/some/path:collect=+%filelogger
1249
1250In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
1251
1252=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
1253
1254Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
1255context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
1256
1257 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
1258 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
1259
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.
