NAME

Log::ger::App - An easy way to use Log::ger in applications

VERSION

version 0.007

SYNOPSIS

In your script:

use Log::ger::App;
use Your::App::Module; # your module which uses Log::ger to do its logging

If you also do logging in your script:

use Log::ger::App;
use Log::ger;

log_warn("Some log ...");

DESCRIPTION

This module basically loads Log::ger::Output::Composite with some sensible defaults and allows customizing some aspects via environment variable.

Default outputs

Code                            Screen  File                   Syslog
------------------------------  ------  ----                   ------
One-liner (-e)                  y       -                      -
Script running as normal user   y       ~/PROGNAME.log         -
Script running as root          y       /var/log/PROGNAME.log  -
Daemon                          -       /var/log/PROGNAME.log  y

Determining if script is a daemon

Log::ger::App assumes your script is a daemon if some daemon-related modules are loaded, e.g. App::Daemon, HTTP::Daemon, Net::Daemon, etc (see the source code for the complete list). Alternatively, you can also set $main::IS_DAEMON to 1 (0) to specifically state that your script is (not) a daemon.

Setting general log level

The default is warn (like Log::ger's default). You can set general log level from environment using LOG_LEVEL (e.g. LOG_LEVEL=trace to set level to trace or LOG_LEVEL=0 to turn off logging). Alternatively, you can set to trace using TRACE=1, or debug with DEBUG=1, info with VERBOSE=1, error with QUIET=1.

Setting per-output log level

The default is to use general level, but you can set a different level for each output using OUTPUT_NAME_{LOG_LEVEL|TRACE|DEBUG|VERBOSE|QUIET} environment variables. For example, SCREEN_DEBUG=1 to set screen level to debug or FILE_LOG_LEVEL=off to turn off file logging.

Showing timestamp

Timestamps are shown in log files. On the screen, timestamps are not shown by default. To show timestamps on the screen, set LOG_ADD_TIMESTAMP to true.

FUNCTIONS

$pkg->import(%args)

Arguments:

  • level => str|num

    Explicitly set level. Otherwise, the default will be taken from environment variable like described previously in "DESCRIPTION".

  • name => str

    Explicitly set program name. Otherwise, default will be taken from $0 (after path and '.pl' suffix is removed) or set to prog.

  • daemon => bool

    Explicitly tell Log::ger::App that your application is a daemon or not. Otherwise, Log::ger::App will try some heuristics to guess whether your application is a daemon: from the value of $main::IS_DAEMON and from the presence of modules like HTTP::Daemon, Proc::Daemon, etc.

  • outputs => hash

    Specify extra outputs. Will be passed to Log::ger::Output::Composite configuration.

ENVIRONMENT

LOG_ADD_TIMESTAMP

Boolean. Default to false. If set to true, will add timestamps to the screen log. Normally, timestamps will only be added to the file log.

LOG_LEVEL => str

Can be set to off or numeric/string log level.

TRACE => bool

DEBUG => bool

VERBOSE => bool

QUIET => bool
