79
80The module is also usable before AnyEvent itself is initialised, in which
81case some of the functionality might be reduced.
82
83The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the runtime part
84of the module is still just below 300 lines of code.
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.

66callable 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>

444=item AnyEvent::Log::exact_time $on
445
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.

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.

480default message format by loading this module and then redefining this

483=item AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit()
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>.

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

987=item $ctx->log_to_warn

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)

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
1233This makes it possible to create new log contexts that can be refered to
1234multiple times by name within the same log specification.
1235
1236=item a perl package name
1237
1238Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1239Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1240context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1241C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1242
1243=back
1244
1245The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1246
1247=over 4
1248
1249=item C<stderr>
1250
1251Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1252logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1253
1254=item C<file=>I<path>
1255
1256Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1257C<log_to_file>.
1258
1259=item C<path=>I<path>
1260
1261Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1262C<log_to_path>.
1263
1264=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1265
1266Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1267evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1268
1269 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1270
1271=item C<nolog>
1272
1273Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1274default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1275
1276=item C<cap=>I<level>
1277
1278Caps logging messages entering this context at the given level, i.e.
1279reduces the priority of messages with higher priority than this level. The
1280default is C<0> (or C<off>), meaning the priority will not be touched.
1281
1282=item C<0> or C<off>
1283
1284Sets the logging level of the context to C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1285filtered out.
1286
1287=item C<all>
1288
1289Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1290off (the default).
1291
1292=item C<only>
1293
1294Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1295level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1296
1297Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1298
1299 context=only,debug
1300
1301=item C<except>
1302
1303Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1304level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1305
1306Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1307nonsensical).
1308
1309 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1310
1311=item C<level>
1312
1313Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1314level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1315message". This is the default.
1316
1317Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1318
1319 filter=warn
1320
1321 # or, more verbose
1322 filter=only,level,warn
1323
1324=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1325
1326A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1327to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1328specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1329
1330=item C<+>I<context>
1331
1332Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1333
1334=item C<+>
1335
1336A lone C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1337context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1338but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1339
1340Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1341default log collector.
1342
1343 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1344
1345=back
1346
1347Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1348usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1349spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1350
1351 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1352
1353Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1354specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1355
1356 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1357 filter=warn
1358 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1359 %trace=only,trace,+log
1360 " myprog
1361
1362Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1363use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1364module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1365

1505
1506This module uses L<AnyEvent::IO> to actually write log messages (in
1507C<log_to_file> and C<log_to_path>), so it doesn't block your program when
1508the disk is busy and a non-blocking L<AnyEvent::IO> backend is available.
