32using it from other modules as well. 73using it from other modules as well.
33 74
34Remember that the default verbosity level is C<0>, so nothing will be 75Remember that the default verbosity level is C<4> (C<error>), so only
35logged, ever, unless you set C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> to a higher number 76errors and more important messages will be logged, unless you set
36before starting your program.#TODO 77C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> to a higher number before starting your program
78(C<AE_VERBOSE=5> is recommended during development), or change the logging
79level at runtime with something like:
37 80
38Possible future extensions are to allow custom log targets (where the 81 use AnyEvent::Log;
39level is an object), log filtering based on package, formatting, aliasing 82 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->level ("info");
40or package groups.
41 83
84The design goal behind this module was to keep it simple (and small),
85but make it powerful enough to be potentially useful for any module,
86and extensive enough for the most common tasks, such as logging to
87multiple targets, or being able to log into a database.
88
89The module is also usable before AnyEvent itself is initialised, in which
90case some of the functionality might be reduced.
91
92The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the runtime part
93of the module is still just below 300 lines of code.
94
95=head1 LOGGING LEVELS
96
97Logging levels in this module range from C<1> (highest priority) to C<9>
98(lowest priority). Note that the lowest numerical value is the highest
99priority, so when this document says "higher priority" it means "lower
100numerical value".
101
102Instead of specifying levels by name you can also specify them by aliases:
103
104 LVL NAME SYSLOG PERL NOTE
105 1 fatal emerg exit system unusable, aborts program!
106 2 alert failure in primary system
107 3 critical crit failure in backup system
108 4 error err die non-urgent program errors, a bug
109 5 warn warning possible problem, not necessarily error
110 6 note notice unusual conditions
111 7 info normal messages, no action required
112 8 debug debugging messages for development
113 9 trace copious tracing output
114
115As you can see, some logging levels have multiple aliases - the first one
116is the "official" name, the second one the "syslog" name (if it differs)
117and the third one the "perl" name, suggesting (only!) that you log C<die>
118messages at C<error> priority. The NOTE column tries to provide some
119rationale on how to chose a logging level.
120
121As a rough guideline, levels 1..3 are primarily meant for users of the
122program (admins, staff), and are the only ones logged to STDERR by
123default. Levels 4..6 are meant for users and developers alike, while
124levels 7..9 are usually meant for developers.
125
126You can normally only log a message once at highest priority level (C<1>,
127C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the program - so
128use it sparingly :)
129
130For example, a program that finds an unknown switch on the commandline
131might well use a fatal logging level to tell users about it - the "system"
132in this case would be the program, or module.
133
134Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
135or C<all> - these are only valid for the methods that document them.
136
42=head1 LOG FUNCTIONS 137=head1 LOGGING FUNCTIONS

44These functions allow you to log messages. They always use the caller's 139The following functions allow you to log messages. They always use the
45package as a "logging module/source". Also, the main logging function is 140caller's package as a "logging context". Also, the main logging function,
46callable as C<AnyEvent::log> or C<AE::log> when the C<AnyEvent> module is 141C<log>, is aliased to C<AnyEvent::log> and C<AE::log> when the C<AnyEvent>

311#TODO 453=item AnyEvent::Log::exact_time $on
454
455By default, C<AnyEvent::Log> will use C<AE::now>, i.e. the cached
456eventloop time, for the log timestamps. After calling this function with a
457true value it will instead resort to C<AE::time>, i.e. fetch the current
458time on each log message. This only makes a difference for event loops
459that actually cache the time (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Loop>).
460
461This setting can be changed at any time by calling this function.
462
463Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before L<AnyEvent> has been
464initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
465C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
466available.
467
468=item AnyEvent::Log::format_time $timestamp
469
470Formats a timestamp as returned by C<< AnyEvent->now >> or C<<
471AnyEvent->time >> or many other functions in the same way as
472C<AnyEvent::Log> does.
473
474In your main program (as opposed to in your module) you can override
475the default timestamp display format by loading this module and then
476redefining this function.
477
478Most commonly, this function can be used in formatting callbacks.
479
480=item AnyEvent::Log::default_format $time, $ctx, $level, $msg
481
482Format a log message using the given timestamp, logging context, log level
483and log message.
484
485This is the formatting function used to format messages when no custom
486function is provided.
487
488In your main program (as opposed to in your module) you can override the
489default message format by loading this module and then redefining this
490function.
491
492=item AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit()
493
494This is the function that is called after logging a C<fatal> log
495message. It must not return.
496
497The default implementation simply calls C<exit 1>.
498
499In your main program (as opposed to in your module) you can override
500the fatal exit function by loading this module and then redefining this
501function. Make sure you don't return.

315=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONALITY 505=head1 LOGGING CONTEXTS
316 506
317None, yet, except for C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>, described in the L<AnyEvent> manpage. 507This module associates every log message with a so-called I<logging
508context>, based on the package of the caller. Every perl package has its
509own logging context.
318 510
319#TODO: wahst a context 511A logging context has three major responsibilities: filtering, logging and
320#TODO 512propagating the message.
513
514For the first purpose, filtering, each context has a set of logging
515levels, called the log level mask. Messages not in the set will be ignored
516by this context (masked).
517
518For logging, the context stores a formatting callback (which takes the
519timestamp, context, level and string message and formats it in the way
520it should be logged) and a logging callback (which is responsible for
521actually logging the formatted message and telling C<AnyEvent::Log>
522whether it has consumed the message, or whether it should be propagated).
523
524For propagation, a context can have any number of attached I<slave
525contexts>. Any message that is neither masked by the logging mask nor
526masked by the logging callback returning true will be passed to all slave
527contexts.
528
529Each call to a logging function will log the message at most once per
530context, so it does not matter (much) if there are cycles or if the
531message can arrive at the same context via multiple paths.
532
533=head2 DEFAULTS
534
535By default, all logging contexts have an full set of log levels ("all"), a
536disabled logging callback and the default formatting callback.
537
538Package contexts have the package name as logging title by default.
539
540They have exactly one slave - the context of the "parent" package. The
541parent package is simply defined to be the package name without the last
542component, i.e. C<AnyEvent::Debug::Wrapped> becomes C<AnyEvent::Debug>,
543and C<AnyEvent> becomes ... C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> which is the
544exception of the rule - just like the "parent" of any single-component
545package name in Perl is C<main>, the default slave of any top-level
546package context is C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>.
547
548Since perl packages form only an approximate hierarchy, this slave
549context can of course be removed.
550
551All other (anonymous) contexts have no slaves and an empty title by
552default.
553
554When the module is loaded it creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> logging
555context that simply logs everything via C<warn>, without propagating
556anything anywhere by default. The purpose of this context is to provide
557a convenient place to override the global logging target or to attach
558additional log targets. It's not meant for filtering.
559
560It then creates the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context whose
561purpose is to suppress all messages with priority higher
562than C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>. It then attached the
563C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to it. The purpose of the filter context
564is to simply provide filtering according to some global log level.
565
566Finally it creates the top-level package context C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>
567and attaches the C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> context to it, but otherwise
568leaves it at default config. Its purpose is simply to collect all log
569messages system-wide.
570
571The hierarchy is then:
572
573 any package, eventually -> $COLLECT -> $FILTER -> $LOG
574
575The effect of all this is that log messages, by default, wander up to the
576C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT> context where all messages normally end up,
577from there to C<$AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> where log messages with lower
578priority then C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}> will be filtered out and then
579to the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to be passed to C<warn>.
580
581This makes it easy to set a global logging level (by modifying $FILTER),
582but still allow other contexts to send, for example, their debug and trace
583messages to the $LOG target despite the global logging level, or to attach
584additional log targets that log messages, regardless of the global logging
585level.
586
587It also makes it easy to modify the default warn-logger ($LOG) to
588something that logs to a file, or to attach additional logging targets
589(such as loggign to a file) by attaching it to $FILTER.

746
747The following methods deal with the logging level set associated with the
748log context.
749
750The most common method to use is probably C<< $ctx->level ($level) >>,
751which configures the specified and any higher priority levels.
752
753All functions which accept a list of levels also accept the special string
754C<all> which expands to all logging levels.
755
756=over 4
757
378=item $ctx->levels ($level[, $level...) 758=item $ctx->levels ($level[, $level...)

386level. 766C<off> disables all logging for this level.

398 778
399Disables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged. 779Disables logging for the given levels, leaving all others unchanged.
400 780
781=item $ctx->cap ($level)
782
783Caps the maximum priority to the given level, for all messages logged
784to, or passing through, this context. That is, while this doesn't affect
785whether a message is logged or passed on, the maximum priority of messages
786will be limited to the specified level - messages with a higher priority
787will be set to the specified priority.
788
789Another way to view this is that C<< ->level >> filters out messages with
790a too low priority, while C<< ->cap >> modifies messages with a too high
791priority.
792
793This is useful when different log targets have different interpretations
794of priority. For example, for a specific command line program, a wrong
795command line switch might well result in a C<fatal> log message, while the
796same message, logged to syslog, is likely I<not> fatal to the system or
797syslog facility as a whole, but more likely a mere C<error>.
798
799This can be modeled by having a stderr logger that logs messages "as-is"
800and a syslog logger that logs messages with a level cap of, say, C<error>,
801or, for truly system-critical components, actually C<critical>.

486 933
934You can filter messages by having a log callback that simply returns C<1>
935and does not do anything with the message, but this counts as "message
936being logged" and might not be very efficient.
937
938Example: propagate all messages except for log levels "debug" and
939"trace". The messages will still be generated, though, which can slow down
940your program.
941
942 $ctx->levels ("debug", "trace");
943 $ctx->log_cb (sub { 1 }); # do not log, but eat debug and trace messages

495it could just as well be an array reference that just stores the values. 953most cases this will be a string, but it could just as well be an array

955
956If, for some reason, you want to use C<caller> to find out more about the
957logger then you should walk up the call stack until you are no longer
958inside the C<AnyEvent::Log> package.
959
960To implement your own logging callback, you might find the
961C<AnyEvent::Log::format_time> and C<AnyEvent::Log::default_format>
962functions useful.
963
964Example: format the message just as AnyEvent::Log would, by letting
965AnyEvent::Log do the work. This is a good basis to design a formatting
966callback that only changes minor aspects of the formatting.

999=item $ctx->log_to_warn
1000
1001Sets the C<log_cb> to simply use C<CORE::warn> to report any messages
1002(usually this logs to STDERR).
1003
1004=item $ctx->log_to_file ($path)
1005
1006Sets the C<log_cb> to log to a file (by appending), unbuffered. The
1007function might return before the log file has been opened or created.
1008
1009=item $ctx->log_to_path ($path)
1010
1011Same as C<< ->log_to_file >>, but opens the file for each message. This
1012is much slower, but allows you to change/move/rename/delete the file at
1013basically any time.
1014
1015Needless(?) to say, if you do not want to be bitten by some evil person
1016calling C<chdir>, the path should be absolute. Doesn't help with
1017C<chroot>, but hey...
1018
1019=item $ctx->log_to_syslog ([$facility])
1020
1021Logs all messages via L<Sys::Syslog>, mapping C<trace> to C<debug> and
1022all the others in the obvious way. If specified, then the C<$facility> is
1023used as the facility (C<user>, C<auth>, C<local0> and so on). The default
1024facility is C<user>.
1025
1026Note that this function also sets a C<fmt_cb> - the logging part requires
1027an array reference with [$level, $str] as input.

1205=head1 CONFIGURATION VIA $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG}
1206
1207Logging can also be configured by setting the environment variable
1208C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG> (or C<AE_LOG>).
1209
1210The value consists of one or more logging context specifications separated
1211by C<:> or whitespace. Each logging specification in turn starts with a
1212context name, followed by C<=>, followed by zero or more comma-separated
1213configuration directives, here are some examples:
1214
1215 # set default logging level
1216 filter=warn
1217
1218 # log to file instead of to stderr
1219 log=file=/tmp/mylog
1220
1221 # log to file in addition to stderr
1222 log=+%file:%file=file=/tmp/mylog
1223
1224 # enable debug log messages, log warnings and above to syslog
1225 filter=debug:log=+%warnings:%warnings=warn,syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1226
1227 # log trace messages (only) from AnyEvent::Debug to file
1228 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace:%trace=only,trace,file=/tmp/tracelog
1229
1230A context name in the log specification can be any of the following:
1231
1232=over 4
1233
1234=item C<collect>, C<filter>, C<log>
1235
1236Correspond to the three predefined C<$AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT>,
1237C<AnyEvent::Log::FILTER> and C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> contexts.
1238
1239=item C<%name>
1240
1241Context names starting with a C<%> are anonymous contexts created when the
1242name is first mentioned. The difference to package contexts is that by
1243default they have no attached slaves.
1244
1245This makes it possible to create new log contexts that can be refered to
1246multiple times by name within the same log specification.
1247
1248=item a perl package name
1249
1250Any other string references the logging context associated with the given
1251Perl C<package>. In the unlikely case where you want to specify a package
1252context that matches on of the other context name forms, you can add a
1253C<::> to the package name to force interpretation as a package.
1254
1255=back
1256
1257The configuration specifications can be any number of the following:
1258
1259=over 4
1260
1261=item C<stderr>
1262
1263Configures the context to use Perl's C<warn> function (which typically
1264logs to C<STDERR>). Works like C<log_to_warn>.
1265
1266=item C<file=>I<path>
1267
1268Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1269C<log_to_file>.
1270
1271=item C<path=>I<path>
1272
1273Configures the context to log to a file with the given path. Works like
1274C<log_to_path>.
1275
1276=item C<syslog> or C<syslog=>I<expr>
1277
1278Configures the context to log to syslog. If I<expr> is given, then it is
1279evaluated in the L<Sys::Syslog> package, so you could use:
1280
1281 log=syslog=LOG_LOCAL0
1282
1283=item C<nolog>
1284
1285Configures the context to not log anything by itself, which is the
1286default. Same as C<< $ctx->log_cb (undef) >>.
1287
1288=item C<cap=>I<level>
1289
1290Caps logging messages entering this context at the given level, i.e.
1291reduces the priority of messages with higher priority than this level. The
1292default is C<0> (or C<off>), meaning the priority will not be touched.
1293
1294=item C<0> or C<off>
1295
1296Sets the logging level of the context to C<0>, i.e. all messages will be
1297filtered out.
1298
1299=item C<all>
1300
1301Enables all logging levels, i.e. filtering will effectively be switched
1302off (the default).
1303
1304=item C<only>
1305
1306Disables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1307level specifications to enable the specified level only.
1308
1309Example: only enable debug messages for a context.
1310
1311 context=only,debug
1312
1313=item C<except>
1314
1315Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1316level specifications to disable that level. Rarely used.
1317
1318Example: enable all logging levels except fatal and trace (this is rather
1319nonsensical).
1320
1321 filter=exept,fatal,trace
1322
1323=item C<level>
1324
1325Enables all logging levels, and changes the interpretation of following
1326level specifications to be "that level or any higher priority
1327message". This is the default.
1328
1329Example: log anything at or above warn level.
1330
1331 filter=warn
1332
1333 # or, more verbose
1334 filter=only,level,warn
1335
1336=item C<1>..C<9> or a logging level name (C<error>, C<debug> etc.)
1337
1338A numeric loglevel or the name of a loglevel will be interpreted according
1339to the most recent C<only>, C<except> or C<level> directive. By default,
1340specifying a logging level enables that and any higher priority messages.
1341
1342=item C<+>I<context>
1343
1344Attaches the named context as slave to the context.
1345
1346=item C<+>
1347
1348A lone C<+> detaches all contexts, i.e. clears the slave list from the
1349context. Anonymous (C<%name>) contexts have no attached slaves by default,
1350but package contexts have the parent context as slave by default.
1351
1352Example: log messages from My::Module to a file, do not send them to the
1353default log collector.
1354
1355 My::Module=+,file=/tmp/mymodulelog
1356
1357=back
1358
1359Any character can be escaped by prefixing it with a C<\> (backslash), as
1360usual, so to log to a file containing a comma, colon, backslash and some
1361spaces in the filename, you would do this:
1362
1363 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG='log=file=/some\ \:file\ with\,\ \\-escapes'
1364
1365Since whitespace (which includes newlines) is allowed, it is fine to
1366specify multiple lines in C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, e.g.:
1367
1368 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG="
1369 filter=warn
1370 AnyEvent::Debug=+%trace
1371 %trace=only,trace,+log
1372 " myprog
1373
1374Also, in the unlikely case when you want to concatenate specifications,
1375use whitespace as separator, as C<::> will be interpreted as part of a
1376module name, an empty spec with two separators:
1377

1455This is affected by the global logging level.

1460
1461=item Write all messages with priority C<error> and higher to a file.
1462
1463This writes them only when the global logging level allows it, because
1464it is attached to the default context which is invoked I<after> global
1465filtering.
1466
1467 $AnyEvent::Log::FILTER->attach (
1468 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1469
1470 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=+%filelogger:%filelogger=file=/some/path
1471
1472This writes them regardless of the global logging level, because it is
1473attached to the toplevel context, which receives all messages I<before>
1474the global filtering.
1475
1476 $AnyEvent::Log::COLLECT->attach (
1477 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx log_to_file => $path);
1478
1479 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=%filelogger=file=/some/path:collect=+%filelogger
1480
1481In both cases, messages are still written to STDERR.
1482
1483=item Additionally log all messages with C<warn> and higher priority to
1484C<syslog>, but cap at C<error>.
1485
1486This logs all messages to the default log target, but also logs messages
1487with priority C<warn> or higher (and not filtered otherwise) to syslog
1488facility C<user>. Messages with priority higher than C<error> will be
1489logged with level C<error>.
1490
1491 $AnyEvent::Log::LOG->attach (
1492 new AnyEvent::Log::Ctx
1493 level => "warn",
1494 cap => "error",
1495 syslog => "user",
1496 );

1499
1500=item Write trace messages (only) from L<AnyEvent::Debug> to the default logging target(s).
1501
1502Attach the C<$AnyEvent::Log::LOG> context to the C<AnyEvent::Debug>
1503context - this simply circumvents the global filtering for trace messages.
1504
1505 my $debug = AnyEvent::Debug->AnyEvent::Log::ctx;
1506 $debug->attach ($AnyEvent::Log::LOG);
1507
1508 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=AnyEvent::Debug=+log
1509
1510This of course works for any package, not just L<AnyEvent::Debug>, but
1511assumes the log level for AnyEvent::Debug hasn't been changed from the
1512default.

1518This module uses L<AnyEvent::IO> to actually write log messages (in
1519C<log_to_file> and C<log_to_path>), so it doesn't block your program when
1520the disk is busy and a non-blocking L<AnyEvent::IO> backend is available.
