80at C<error> priority. 108messages at C<error> priority. The NOTE column tries to provide some
109rationale on how to chose a logging level.
81 110
111As a rough guideline, levels 1..3 are primarily meant for users of the
112program (admins, staff), and are the only ones logged to STDERR by
113default. Levels 4..6 are meant for users and developers alike, while
114levels 7..9 are usually meant for developers.
115
82You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level 116You can normally only log a message once at highest priority level (C<1>,
83(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the 117C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the program - so

441By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
442eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
443true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
444time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
445that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
446
447This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
448
449Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before the L<AnyEvent> has been
450initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
451C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
452available.

635 731
732=item $ctx->cap ($level)
733
734Caps the maximum priority to the given level, for all messages logged
735to, or passing through, this context. That is, while this doesn't affect
736whether a message is logged or passed on, the maximum priority of messages
737will be limited to the specified level - messages with a higher priority
738will be set to the specified priority.
739
740Another way to view this is that C<< ->level >> filters out messages with
741a too low priority, while C<< ->cap >> modifies messages with a too high
742priority.
743
744This is useful when different log targets have different interpretations
745of priority. For example, for a specific command line program, a wrong
746command line switch might well result in a C<fatal> log message, while the
747same message, logged to syslog, is likely I<not> fatal to the system or
748syslog facility as a whole, but more likely a mere C<error>.
749
750This can be modeled by having a stderr logger that logs messages "as-is"
751and a syslog logger that logs messages with a level cap of, say, C<error>,
752or, for truly system-critical components, actually C<critical>.

1062=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
1063
1064Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
1065C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
1066
1067The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
1068by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
1069context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
1070configuration directives, here are some examples:
1071
1072 # set default logging level
1073 filter=warn
1074
1075 # log to file instead of to stderr
1076 log=file=/tmp/mylog
1077
1078 # log to file in addition to stderr
1079 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
1080
1081 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
1082 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1083
1084 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1085 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1086
1087A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1088
1089=over 4
1090
1091=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1092
1093Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1094C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1095
1096=item C<%name>
1097
1098Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1099name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1100default they have no attached slaves.
1101
1102=item a perl package name
1103
1104Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1105Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1106context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1107C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1108
1109=back
1110
1111The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1112
1113=over 4
1114
1115=item C<stderr>
1116
1117Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1118logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1119
1120=item C<file=>I<path>
1121
1122Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1123C<log_to_file>.
1124
1125=item C<path=>I<path>
1126
1127Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1128C<log_to_path>.
1129
1130=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1131
1132Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1133evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1134
1135 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1136
1137=item C<nolog>
1138
1139Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1140default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1141
1142=item C<cap=>I<level>
1143
1144Caps logging messages entering this context at the given level, i.e.
1145reduces the priority of messages with higher priority than this level. The
1146default is C<0> (or C<off>), meaning the priority will not be touched.
1147
1148=item C<0> or C<off>
1149
1150Sets the logging level of the context to C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1151filtered out.
1152
1153=item C<all>
1154
1155Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1156off (the default).
1157
1158=item C<only>
1159
1160Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1161level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1162
1163Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1164
1165 context=only,debug
1166
1167=item C<except>
1168
1169Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1170level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1171
1172Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1173nonsensical).
1174
1175 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1176
1177=item C<level>
1178
1179Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1180level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1181message". This is the default.
1182
1183Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1184
1185 filter=warn
1186
1187 # or, more verbose
1188 filter=only,level,warn
1189
1190=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1191
1192A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1193to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1194specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1195
1196=item C<+>I<context>
1197
1198Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1199
1200=item C<+>
1201
1202A lone C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1203context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1204but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1205
1206Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1207default log collector.
1208
1209 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1210
1211=back
1212
1213Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1214usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1215spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1216
1217 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1218
1219Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1220specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1221
1222 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1223 filter=warn
1224 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1225 %trace=only,trace,+log
1226 " myprog
1227
1228Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1229use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1230module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1231
