NAME
Log::Agent::Driver::File - file logging driver for Log::Agent
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Agent;
require Log::Agent::Driver::File;
my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::File->make(
-prefix => "prefix",
-duperr => 1,
-stampfmt => "own",
-showpid => 1,
-magic_open => 0,
-channels => {
error => '/tmp/output.err',
output => 'log.out',
debug => '../appli.debug',
},
-chanperm => {
error => 0777,
output => 0666,
debug => 0644
}
);
logconfig(-driver => $driver);
DESCRIPTION
The file logging driver redirects logxxx() operations to specified files,
one per channel usually (but channels may go to the same file).
The creation routine make() takes the following arguments:
-channels => hash ref-
Specifies where channels go. The supplied hash maps channel names
(error, output and debug) to filenames. When -magic_open is
set to true, filenames are allowed magic processing via perl's open(), so
this allows things like:
-channels => {
'error' => '>&FILE',
'output' => '>newlog', # recreate each time, don't append
'debug' => '|mailx -s whatever user',
}
If a channel (e.g. 'output') is not specified, it will go to the 'error'
channel, and if that one is not specified either, it will go to STDERR instead.
If you have installed the additional Log::Agent::Rotate module, it is
also possible to override any default rotating policy setup via the -rotate
argument: instead of supplying the channel as a single string, use an array
reference where the first item is the channel file, and the second one is
the Log::Agent::Rotate configuration:
my $rotate = Log::Agent::Rotate->make(
-backlog => 7,
-unzipped => 2,
-max_write => 100_000,
-is_alone => 1,
);
my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::File->make(
...
-channels => {
'error' => ['errors', $rotate],
'output' => ['output, $rotate],
'debug' => ['>&FILE, $rotate], # WRONG
},
-magic_open => 1,
...
);
In the above example, the rotation policy for the debug channel will
not be activated, since the channel is opened via a magic method.
See Log::Agent::Rotate for more details.
-chanperm => hash ref-
Specifies the file permissions for the channels specified by -channels.
The arguemtn is a hash ref, indexed by channel name, with numeric values.
This option is only necessary to override the default permissions used by
Log::Agent::Channel::File. It is generally better to leave these
permissive and rely on the user's umask.
See umask in perlfunc(3) for more details..
-duperr => flag-
When true, all messages normally sent to the error channel are also
copied to the output channel with a prefixing made to clearly mark
them as such: "FATAL: " for logdie(), logcroak() and logconfess(),
"ERROR: " for logerr() and "WARNING: " for logwarn().
Note that the "duplicate" is the original error string for logconfess()
and logcroak(), and is not strictly identical to the message that will be
logged to the error channel. This is a an accidental feature.
Default is false.
-file => file-
This switch supersedes both -duperr and -channels by defining a
single file for all the channels.
-perm => perm-
This switch supersedes -chanperm by defining consistent for all
the channels.
-magic_open => flag-
When true, channel filenames beginning with '>' or '|' are opened using
Perl's open(). Otherwise, sysopen() is used, in append mode.
Default is false.
-prefix => prefix-
The application prefix string to prepend to messages.
-rotate => object-
This sets a default logfile rotation policy. You need to install the
additional Log::Agent::Rotate module to use this switch.
object is the Log::Agent::Rotate instance describing the default
policy for all the channels. Only files which are not opened via a
so-called magic open can be rotated.
-showpid => flag-
If set to true, the PID of the process will be appended within square
brackets after the prefix, to all messages.
Default is false.
-stampfmt => (name | CODE)-
Specifies the time stamp format to use. By default, my "own" format is used.
The following formats are available:
date "[Fri Oct 22 16:23:10 1999]"
none
own "99/10/22 16:23:10"
syslog "Oct 22 16:23:10".
You may also specify a CODE ref: that routine will be called every time
we need to compute a time stamp. It should not expect any parameter, and
should return a string.
CHANNELS
All the channels go to the specified files. If a channel is not configured,
it is redirected to 'error', or STDERR if no 'error' channel was configured
either.
Two channels not opened via a magic open and whose logfile name is the
same are effectively shared, i.e. the same file descriptor is used for
both of them. If you supply distinct rotation policies (e.g. by having a
default policy, and supplying another policy to one of the channel only),
then the final rotation policy will depend on which one was opened first.
So don't do that.
CAVEAT
Beware of chdir(). If your program uses chdir(), you should always specify
logfiles by using absolute paths, otherwise you run the risk of having
your relative paths become invalid: there is no anchoring done at the time
you specify them. This is especially true when configured for rotation,
since the logfiles are recreated as needed and you might end up with many
logfiles scattered throughout all the directories you chdir()ed to.
Logging channels with the same pathname are shared, i.e. they are only
opened once by Log::Agent::Driver::File. Therefore, if you specify
different rotation policy to such channels, the channel opening order will
determine which of the policies will be used for all such shared channels.
Such errors are flagged at runtime with the following message:
Rotation for 'logfile' may be wrong (shared with distinct policies)
emitted in the logs upon subsequent sharing.
