Catalyst::Log - Catalyst Log Class

SYNOPSIS

$log = $c->log;
$log->debug($message);

$log->fatal($message);

if ( $log->is_debug ) {
     # expensive debugging
}

See Catalyst.

DESCRIPTION

This module provides the default, simple logging functionality for Catalyst. If you want something different set $c-log> in your application module, e.g.:

$c->log( MyLogger->new );

Your logging object is expected to provide the interface described here.

LOG LEVELS

debug
$log->is_debug;
$log->debug($message);
info
$log->is_info;
$log->info($message);
warn
$log->is_warn;
$log->warn($message);
error
$log->is_error;
$log->error($message);

$log->is_fatal;
$log->fatal($message);

$log = Catalyst::Log->new;
$log = Catalyst::Log->new( 'warn', 'error' );
levels

Set log levels

$log->levels( 'warn', 'error', 'fatal' );

$log->enable( 'warn', 'error' );

Is the log level active?

abort

Should Catalyst emit logs for this request? Will be reset at the end of each request.

*NOTE* This method is not compatible with other log apis, so if you plan to use Log4Perl or another logger, you should call it like this:

$c->log->abort(1) if $c->log->can('abort');
