38Possible future extensions are to allow custom log targets (where the 46 use AnyEvent::Log;
39level is an object), log filtering based on package, formatting, aliasing 47 AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("info");
40or package groups.
41 48
49The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
50but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module, and
51extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to multiple
52targets, or being able to log into a database.
53
54The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the module is
55still just below 300 lines of code.
56
57=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
58
59Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
60(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
61priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
62numerical value".
63
64Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
65
66 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
67 1 fatal emerg exit aborts program!
68 2 alert
69 3 critical crit
70 4 error err die
71 5 warn warning
72 6 note notice
73 7 info
74 8 debug
75 9 trace
76
77As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
78is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
79and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting that you log C<die> messages
80at C<error> priority.
81
82You can normally only log a single message at highest priority level
83(C<1>, C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the
84program - so use it sparingly :)
85
86Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
87or C<all> - these are only valid in the methods they are documented for.

315=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 365=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
316 366
317None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 367This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
368context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
369own logging context.
318 370
319#TODO: wahst a context 371A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
320#TODO 372propagating the message.
373
374For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
375levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
376by this context (masked).
377
378For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
379timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
380it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
381actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
382whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
383
384For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<slave
385contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
386masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all slave
387contexts.
388
389Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
390context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
391message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
392
393=head2 DEFAULTS
394
395By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
396disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
397
398Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
399
400They have exactly one slave - the context of the "parent" package. The
401parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
402component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
403and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> which is the
404exception of the rule - just like the "parent" of any single-component
405package name in Perl is C<main>, the default slave of any top-level
406package context is C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>.
407
408Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this slave
409context can of course be removed.
410
411All other (anonymous) contexts have no slaves and an empty title by
412default.
413
414When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
415context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
416anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
417a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
418additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
419
420It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
421purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
422than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
423C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
424is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
425
426Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
427and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
428leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
429messages system-wide.
430
431The hierarchy is then:
432
433 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
434
435The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
436C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
437from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
438priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
439to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
440
441This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
442but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
443messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
444additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
445level.
446
447It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
448something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
449(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

542This is a convenience constructor that makes it simpler to construct
543anonymous logging contexts.
544
545Each key-value pair results in an invocation of the method of the same
546name as the key with the value as parameter, unless the value is an
547arrayref, in which case it calls the method with the contents of the
548array. The methods are called in the same order as specified.

550Example: create a new logging context and set both the default logging
551level, some slave contexts and a logging callback.

486 758
759You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
760and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
761being logged" and might not be very efficient.
762
763Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
764"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
765your program.

780=item $ctx->log_to_syslog ([$log_flags])
781
782Logs all messages via L<Sys::Syslog>, mapping C<trace> to C<debug> and all
783the others in the obvious way. If specified, then the C<$log_flags> are
784simply or'ed onto the priority argument and can contain any C<LOG_xxx>
785flags valid for Sys::Syslog::syslog, except for the priority levels.
786
787Note that the default logging format includes a verbose timestamp, which
788is not so suited for syslog, so a simpler C<fmt_cb> might be useful:
789
790 $ctx->log_to_syslog;
791 $ctx->fmt_cb (sub { "($_[1][0]) $_[3]" });
792
487=item $ctx->fmt_cb ($fmt_cb->($timestamp, $ctx, $level, $message)) 793=item $ctx->fmt_cb ($fmt_cb->($timestamp, $orig_ctx, $level, $message))

927
928=item Append all messages to a file instead of sending them to STDERR.

933
934=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
935
936This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
937it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
938filtering.
939
940 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach
941 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
942
943This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
944attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
945the global filtering.
946
947 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
948 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
949
950In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
951
952=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
953
954Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
955context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
956
957 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
958 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
959
960This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
961assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
962default.
