# Jifty::Logger::EventAppender(3pm)

Create Jifty events from log directives

## NAME

Jifty::Logger::EventAppender - Create Jifty events from log directives

## SYNOPSIS

In a log4perl config file:

```
    log4perl.appender.Event=Jifty::Logger::EventAppender
    log4perl.appender.Event.class=YourApp::Event::Log
    log4perl.appender.Event.arbitraryData=42
    log4perl.appender.Event.layout=SimpleLayout
```

## DESCRIPTION

This class is a Log::Log4perl-compatible appender which creates Jifty::Event::Log objects when a logging instruction is received.

## METHODS

### new PARAMHASH

The `"class"` configuration parameter controls the class of the event to create.  It defaults to Jifty::Event::Log.  All other parameters are passed through to the event when it is created.

### log PARAMHASH

Creates an instance of the event with all of the configuration parameters set in the log4perl config file, as well as all of the contents of the `"PARAMHASH"` -- see Log::Log4perl::Appender for details of the arguments therein.
