NAME
Log::Handler - Log messages to several outputs.
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Handler;
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
$log->add(
file => {
filename => "file.log",
maxlevel => "debug",
minlevel => "warning",
}
);
$log->warning("message");
Or
use Log::Handler;
my $log = Log::Handler->new(
screen => {
log_to => "STDOUT",
maxlevel => "debug",
minlevel => "debug",
message_layout => "%T [%L] %m (%C)",
},
screen => {
log_to => "STDOUT",
maxlevel => "info",
minlevel => "notice",
},
screen => {
log_to => "STDERR",
maxlevel => "warning",
minlevel => "emergency",
},
);
Or
use Log::Handler;
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
$log->config( config => "logger.conf" );
# and maybe later
$log->reload( config => "logger.conf" );
Or
# create a application wide logger
package MyApp;
use Log::Handler;
my $log = Log::Handler->create_logger("myapp");
$log->add(screen => { maxlevel => "info" });
$log->info("info message");
# get logger with get_logger()
package MyApp::Admin;
use Log::Handler;
my $log = Log::Handler->get_logger("myapp");
$log->info("info message from MyApp::Admin");
DESCRIPTION
The Log::Handler is a object oriented handler for logging, tracing and
debugging. It is very easy to use and provides a simple interface for
multiple output objects with lots of configuration parameters. You can
easily filter the amount of logged information on a per-output base,
define priorities, create patterns to format the messages and reload
the complete logging machine.
See the documentation for details.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Note that the default for option newline is now set to TRUE and
newlines will be appended automatically to each message if no newline
exists.
A long time I thought about this serious change and have come to the
decision to change it.
The default for option mode from Log::Handler::Output::File is now
append and not excl anymore.
The methods reload() and validate() are new since version 0.62. I
tested it with Screen.pm, File.pm and DBI.pm and it runs fine. If you
find bugs then open a bug report please :-)
LOG LEVELS
There are eigth levels available:
7 debug
6 info
5 notice
4 warning, warn
3 error, err
2 critical, crit
1 alert
0 emergency, emerg
debug is the highest and emergency is the lowest level.
Level debug is the highest level because it basically says to log every
peep.
LOG LEVEL METHODS
Level methods
debug()
info()
notice()
warning(), warn()
error(), err()
critical(), crit()
alert()
emergency(), emerg()
The call of a log level method is very simple:
$log->info("Hello World! How are you?");
Or maybe:
$log->info("Hello World!", "How are you?");
Both calls would log - if level INFO is active:
Feb 01 12:56:31 [INFO] Hello World! How are you?
is_* methods
is_debug()
is_info()
is_notice()
is_warning(), is_warn()
is_error(), is_err()
is_critical(), is_crit()
is_alert()
is_emergency(), is_emerg()
These twelve methods could be very useful if you want to kwow if the
current level would log the message. All methods returns TRUE if the
current set of minlevel and maxlevel would log the message and FALSE if
not.
SPECIAL LOG METHODS
fatal, is_fatal
trace
dump
die
log
For a full list take a look into the documentation of
Log::Handler::Levels.
METHODS
new()
Call new() to create a new log handler object.
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
add()
Call add() to add a new output object.
The method expects 2 parts of options; the options for the handler and
the options for the output module you want to use. The output modules
got it's own documentation for all options.
Example:
use Log::Handler;
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
$log->add(
# Add "file output"
file => {
# handler options (see Log::Handler)
timeformat => "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S",
message_layout => "%T [%L] %S: %m",
maxlevel => "debug",
minlevel => "emergency",
die_on_errors => 1,
debug_trace => 0,
debug_mode => 2,
debug_skip => 0,
# file options (see Log::Handler::Output::File)
filename => "file.log",
filelock => 1,
fileopen => 1,
reopen => 1,
autoflush => 1,
permissions => "0660",
utf8 => 1,
}
);
Take a look to Log::Handler::Examples for more examples.
The following options are possible for the handler:
maxlevel and minlevel
With these options it's possible to set the log levels for your
program.
Example:
maxlevel => "error"
minlevel => "emergency"
# or
maxlevel => "err"
minlevel => "emerg"
# or
maxlevel => 3
minlevel => 0
It's possible to set the log level as string or as number. The
default setting for maxlevel is warning and the default setting for
minlevel is emergency.
Example: If maxlevel is set to warning and minlevel to emergency then
the levels warning, error, critical, alert and emergency would be
logged.
You can set both to 8 or nothing if you want to disable the logging
machine.
timeformat
The option timeformat is used to set the format for the placeholder
%T. The string is converted with POSIX::strftime. The default format
is set to "%b %d %H:%M:%S" and looks like
Feb 01 12:56:31
If you would set the format to "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S" it would looks
like
2007/02/01 12:56:31
dateformat
This options works like timeformat. You can set a format that is used
for the placeholder %D. It's just useful if you want to split the
date and time:
$log->add(file => {
filename => "file.log",
dateformat => "%Y-%m-%d",
timeformat => "%H:%M:%S",
message_layout => "%D %T %L %m",
});
$log->error("an error here");
This looks like
2007-02-01 12:56:31 ERROR an error here
This option is not used by default.
newline
newline is a very helpful option. It let the logger appends a newline
to the message if a newline doesn't exist.
0 - do nothing
1 - append a newline if not exist (default)
Example:
$log->add(
screen => {
newline => 1,
maxlevel => "info",
}
);
$log->info("message\n");
$log->info("message");
In both cases the message would be logged with a newline at the end.
message_layout
With this option it's possible to create your own message layout with
different placeholders in printf() style. The available placeholders
are:
%L Log level
%T Time or full timestamp (option timeformat)
%D Date (option dateformat)
%P PID
%H Hostname
%U User name
%G Group name
%N Newline
%S Program name
%C Caller - filename and line number
%p Caller - package name
%f Caller - file name
%l Caller - line number
%s Caller - subroutine name
%r Runtime in seconds since program start
%t Time measurement - replaced with the time since the last call of $log->$level
%m Message
%% Percent
The default message layout is set to "%T [%L] %m".
As example the following code
$log->alert("foo bar");
would log
Feb 01 12:56:31 [ALERT] foo bar
If you set message_layout to
message_layout => "%T foo %L bar %m (%C)"
and call
$log->info("baz");
then it would log
Feb 01 12:56:31 foo INFO bar baz (script.pl, line 40)
Traces will be appended after the complete message.
You can create your own placeholders with the method set_pattern().
message_pattern
This option is just useful if you want to forward messages to output
modules that needs the parts of a message as a hash reference - as
example Log::Handler::Output::Forward, Log::Handler::Output::DBI or
Log::Handler::Output::Screen.
The option expects a list of placeholders:
# as a array reference
message_pattern => [ qw/%T %L %H %m/ ]
# or as a string
message_pattern => "%T %L %H %m"
The patterns will be replaced with real names as hash keys.
%L level
%T time
%D date
%P pid
%H hostname
%U user
%G group
%N newline
%r runtime
%C caller
%p package
%f filename
%l line
%s subroutine
%S progname
%t mtime
%m message
Here a full code example:
use Log::Handler;
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
$log->add(forward => {
forward_to => \&my_func,
message_pattern => [ qw/%T %L %H %m/ ],
message_layout => "%m",
maxlevel => "info",
});
$log->info("a forwarded message");
# now you can access it
sub my_func {
my $msg = shift;
print "Timestamp: $msg->{time}\n";
print "Level: $msg->{level}\n";
print "Hostname: $msg->{hostname}\n";
print "Message: $msg->{message}\n";
}
prepare_message
prepare_message is useful if you want to do something with the
message before it will be logged... maybe you want to create your own
layout because message_layout doesn't meet your claim.
$log->add(
screen => {
newline => 1,
message_layout => "%m (%t)",
message_pattern => [ qw/%T %L %H %m/ ],
prepare_message => \&format,
}
);
$log->error("foo");
$log->error("bar");
$log->error("baz");
sub format {
my $m = shift;
$m->{message} = sprintf("%-20s %-20s %-20s %s",
$m->{time}, $m->{level}, $m->{hostname}, $m->{message});
}
The output looks like
Mar 08 15:14:20 ERROR h1434036 foo (0.039694)
Mar 08 15:14:20 ERROR h1434036 bar (0.000510)
Mar 08 15:14:20 ERROR h1434036 baz (0.000274)
priority
With this option you can set the priority of your output objects.
This means that messages will be logged at first to the outputs with
a higher priority. If this option is not set then the default
priority begins with 10 and will be increased +1 with each output.
Example:
We add a output with no priority
$log->add(file => { filename => "file1.log" });
This output gets the priority of 10. Now we add another output
$log->add(file => { filename => "file2.log" });
This output gets the priority of 11... and so on.
Messages would be logged at first to the output with the priority of
10 and then to the output with the priority of 11. Now you can add
another output and set the priority to 1.
$log->add(screen => { dump => 1, priority => 1 });
Messages would be logged now at first to the screen.
die_on_errors
Set die_on_errors to 0 if you don't want that the handler dies on
failed write operations.
0 - to disable it
1 - to enable it
If you set die_on_errors to 0 then you have to control it yourself.
$log->info("info message") or die $log->errstr();
# or Log::Handler->errstr()
# or Log::Handler::errstr()
# or $Log::Handler::ERRSTR
remove_on_reload
This option is set to 1 by default.
Take a look to the description of the method reload for more
information about this option.
filter_message
With this option it's possible to set a filter. If the filter is set
then only messages will be logged that match the filter. You can pass
a regexp, a code reference or a simple string. Example:
$log->add(file => {
filename => "file.log",
maxlevel => 6,
filter_message => qr/log this/,
# or
# filter_message => "log this",
# filter_message => '^log only this$',
});
$log->info("log this");
$log->info("but not that");
If you pass your own code then you have to check the message
yourself.
$log->add(file => {
filename => "file.log",
maxlevel => 6,
filter_message => \&my_filter
});
# return TRUE if you want to log the message, FALSE if not
sub my_filter {
my $msg = shift;
$msg->{message} =~ /your filter/;
}
It's also possible to define a simple condition with matches. Just
pass a hash reference with the options matchN and condition. Example:
$log->add(file => {
filename => "file.log",
maxlevel => 6,
filter_message => {
match1 => "log this",
match2 => qr/with that/,
match3 => "(?:or this|or that)",
condition => "(match1 && match2) || match3",
}
});
NOTE that re-eval in regexes is not valid! Something like
match1 => '(?{unlink("file.txt")})'
would cause an error!
skip_message
This is the opposite of option filter_message, but it's only possible
to set a simple string or regular expression.
$log->add(file => {
filename => "file.log",
maxlevel => 6,
skip => '^do not log this.+$'
});
category
The parameter category works like filter_caller but is much easier to
configure. You can set a comma separated list of modules. As example
if you would set the category to
category => "MyApp::User"
then all messages of MyApp::User and the submodules would be logged.
Example:
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
$log->add(
screen => {
maxlevel => "info",
category => "MyApp::User, MyApp::Session"
}
);
package MyApp;
$log->info(__PACKAGE__);
package MyApp::Products;
$log->info(__PACKAGE__);
package MyApp::User;
$log->info(__PACKAGE__);
package MyApp::Users;
$log->info(__PACKAGE__);
package MyApp::User::Settings;
$log->info(__PACKAGE__);
package MyApp::Session;
$log->info(__PACKAGE__);
package MyApp::Session::Settings;
$log->info(__PACKAGE__);
The messages of MyApp and MyApp::Products would not be logged.
The usage of categories is much faster than to filter by caller.
filter_caller
You can use this option to set a package name. Only messages from
this packages will be logged.
Example:
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
$log->add(screen => {
maxlevel => "info",
filter_caller => qr/^Foo::Bar\z/,
# or
# filter_caller => "^Foo::Bar\z",
});
package Foo::Bar;
$log->info("log this");
package Foo::Baz;
$log->info("but not that");
1;
This would only log the message from the package Foo::Bar.
except_caller
This option is just the opposite of filter_caller.
If you want to log messages from all callers but Foo::Bar:
except_caller => qr/^Foo::Bar\z/
alias
You can set an alias if you want to get the output object later.
Example:
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
$log->add(screen => {
maxlevel => 7,
alias => "screen-out",
});
my $screen = $log->output("screen-out");
$screen->log(message => "foo");
# or in one step
$log->output("screen-out")->log(message => "foo");
debug_trace
You can activate a debugger that writes caller() information about
each active log level. The debugger is logging all defined values
except hints and bitmask. Set debug_trace to 1 to activate the
debugger. The debugger is set to 0 by default.
debug_mode
There are two debug modes: line(1) and block(2) mode. The default
mode is 1.
The line mode looks like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Log::Handler;
my $log = Log::Handler->new()
$log->add(file => {
filename => "*STDOUT",
maxlevel => "debug",
debug_trace => 1,
debug_mode => 1
});
sub test1 { $log->warning() }
sub test2 { &test1; }
&test2;
Output:
Apr 26 12:54:11 [WARNING]
CALL(4): package(main) filename(./trace.pl) line(15) subroutine(main::test2) hasargs(0)
CALL(3): package(main) filename(./trace.pl) line(13) subroutine(main::test1) hasargs(0)
CALL(2): package(main) filename(./trace.pl) line(12) subroutine(Log::Handler::__ANON__) hasargs(1)
CALL(1): package(Log::Handler) filename(/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Log/Handler.pm) line(713) subroutine(Log::Handler::_write) hasargs(1)
CALL(0): package(Log::Handler) filename(/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Log/Handler.pm) line(1022) subroutine(Devel::Backtrace::new) hasargs(1) wantarray(0)
The same code example but the debugger in block mode would looks like
this:
debug_mode => 2
Output:
Apr 26 12:52:17 [DEBUG]
CALL(4):
package main
filename ./trace.pl
line 15
subroutine main::test2
hasargs 0
CALL(3):
package main
filename ./trace.pl
line 13
subroutine main::test1
hasargs 0
CALL(2):
package main
filename ./trace.pl
line 12
subroutine Log::Handler::__ANON__
hasargs 1
CALL(1):
package Log::Handler
filename /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Log/Handler.pm
line 681
subroutine Log::Handler::_write
hasargs 1
CALL(0):
package Log::Handler
filename /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Log/Handler.pm
line 990
subroutine Devel::Backtrace::new
hasargs 1
wantarray 0
debug_skip
This option let skip the caller() information the count of
debug_skip.
output()
Call output($alias) to get the output object that you added with the
option alias.
It's possible to access a output directly:
$log->output($alias)->log(message => "booo");
For more information take a look to the option alias.
flush()
Call flush() if you want to send flush to all outputs that can flush.
Flush means to flush buffers and/or close and re-open outputs.
If you want to send it only to some outputs you can pass the aliases.
$log->flush(); # flush all
$log->flush("foo", "bar"); # flush only foo and bar
If option "die_on_errors" is set to 0 then you can intercept errors
with:
$log->flush or die $log->errstr;
errstr()
Call errstr() if you want to get the last error message. This is useful
if you set die_on_errors to 0 and the handler wouldn't die on failed
write operations.
use Log::Handler;
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
$log->add(file => {
filename => "file.log",
maxlevel => "info",
die_on_errors => 0,
});
$log->info("Hello World!") or die $log->errstr;
Or
unless ( $log->info("Hello World!") ) {
$error_string = $log->errstr;
# do something with $error_string
}
The exception is that the handler dies in any case if the call of new()
or add() fails because on missing or wrong settings!
config()
With this method it's possible to load your output configuration from a
file.
$log->config(config => "file.conf");
Or
$log->config(config => {
file => [
{
alias => "error_log",
filename => "error.log",
maxlevel => "warning",
minlevel => "emerg",
priority => 1
},
{
alias => "common_log",
filename => "common.log",
maxlevel => "info",
minlevel => "emerg",
priority => 2
},
],
screen => {
alias => "screen",
maxlevel => "debug",
minlevel => "emerg",
log_to => "STDERR",
},
});
The key "default" is used here to define default parameters for all
file outputs. All other keys (error_log, common_log) are used as
aliases.
Take a look into the documentation of Log::Handler::Config for more
information.
reload()
With the method reload() it's possible to reload the logging machine.
Just pass the complete new configuration for all outputs, it works
exaclty like config().
At first you should know that it's highly recommended to set a alias
for each output. If you don't set a alias then the logger doesn't know
which output-objects to reload. If a output-objects doesn't have a
alias then the objects will be removed and the new configuration will
be added.
Example:
logger.conf
<file>
alias = debug
filename = debug.log
maxlevel = debug
minlevel = emerg
</file>
<file>
alias = common
filename = common.log
maxlevel = info
minlevel = emerg
</file>
Load the configuration
$log->config(config => "logger.conf");
Now change the configuration in logger.conf
<file>
alias = common
filename = common.log
maxlevel = notice
minlevel = emerg
</file>
<sendmail>
alias = sendmail
from = bar@foo.example
to = foo@bar.example
subject = your subject
</sendmail>
What happends now...
The file-output with the alias debug will be removed, the file-output
with the alias common will be reloaded and the output with the alias
sendmail will be added.
If you don't want that output-objects will be removed because they were
added internal, then you can set the option remove_on_reload to 0.
Example:
$log->config(config => "logger.conf");
$log->add(
forward => {
forward_to => \&my_func,
remove_on_reload => 0,
}
);
The forward-output is not removed after a reload.
validate()
The method validate() expects the same arguments like config() and
reload().
Maybe you want to validate your options before you pass them to
config() or reload().
Example:
my $log = Log::Handler->new();
$log->config( config => \%config );
# and maybe later
if ( $log->validate( config => \%new_config ) ) {
$log->reload( config => \%new_config );
} else {
warn "unable to reload configuration";
warn $log->errstr;
}
set_pattern()
With this option you can set your own placeholders. Example:
$log->set_pattern("%X", "key_name", sub { "value" });
# or
$log->set_pattern("%X", "key_name", "value");
Then you can use this pattern in your message layout:
$log->add(file => {
filename => "file.log",
message_layout => "%X %m%N",
});
Or use it with message_pattern:
sub func {
my $m = shift;
print "$m->{key_name} $m->{message}\n";
}
$log->add(forward => {
forward_to => \&func,
message_pattern => "%X %m",
});
Note: valid character for the key name are: [%\w\-\.]+
set_level()
With this method it's possible to change the log level at runtime.
To change the log level it's necessary to use a alias - see option
alias.
$log->set_level(
$alias => { # option alias
minlevel => $new_minlevel,
maxlevel => $new_maxlevel,
}
);
set_default_param()
With this methods it's possible to overwrite the default settings for
new outputs.
Normally you would do something like
$log->add(
file => {
filename => "debug.log",
maxlevel => "info",
timeformat => "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S",
message_layout => "[%T] %L %P %t %m (%C)"
}
);
$log->add(
file => {
filename => "error.log",
maxlevel => "error",
timeformat => "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S",
message_layout => "[%T] %L %P %t %m (%C)"
}
);
Now you can simplify it with
$log->set_default_param(
timeformat => "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S",
message_layout => "[%T] %L %P %t %m (%C)"
);
$logg->add(
file => {
filename => "debug.log",
maxlevel => "info"
}
);
$log->add(
file => {
filename => "error.log",
maxlevel => "error"
}
);
create_logger()
create_logger() is the same like new() but it creates a global logger.
my $log = Log::Handler->create_logger("myapp");
get_logger()
With get_logger() it's possible to get a logger that was created with
create_logger() or with
use Log::Handler "myapp";
Just call
my $log = Log::Handler->get_logger("myapp");
If the logger does not exists then a new logger will be created and
returned.
exists_logger()
With exists_logger() it's possible to check if a logger exists and it
returns TRUE or FALSE.
