NAME

Log::Handler::Examples - Examples.

CREATE LOGGER

Quite simple

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add( screen => \%options );

Create a application wide logger

    my $log = Log::Handler->create_logger("myapp");
    $log->add( screen => \%options );

Once created you can use the application logger in all modules of your project:

    package MyApp;
    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->create_logger("myapp");
    $log->add( screen => \%options );
    package MyApp::Admin;
    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->get_logger("myapp");
    $log->info("message");

ADD OUTPUTS

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add( dbi     => \%options );
    $log->add( email   => \%options );
    $log->add( file    => \%options );
    $log->add( forward => \%options );
    $log->add( screen  => \%options );
    $log->add( socket  => \%options );

This is the same like

    $log->add( "Log::Handler::Output::DBI"     => \%options );
    $log->add( "Log::Handler::Output::Email"   => \%options );
    $log->add( "Log::Handler::Output::File"    => \%options );
    $log->add( "Log::Handler::Output::Forward" => \%options );
    $log->add( "Log::Handler::Output::Screen"  => \%options );
    $log->add( "Log::Handler::Output::Socket"  => \%options );

RELOAD THE LOGGER

Quite simple

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->config(config => "logger.conf");
    $log->reload(config => "logger.conf");

Reload on HUP

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->config(config => "logger.conf");
    $SIG{HUP} = sub {
        unless ($log->reload(config => "logger.conf")) {
            warn "unable to reload configuration";
            warn $log->errstr;
        }
    };

Validate first

It's possible to make a configuration check before you reload:

    $log->validate(config => "logger.conf")
        or warn $log->errstr;

LOG VIA DBI

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add(
        dbi => {
            database   => "database",
            driver     => "mysql",
            host       => "127.0.0.1",
            port       => 3306,
            user       => "user",
            password   => "password",
            table      => "messages",
            columns    => [ qw/level ctime cdate pid hostname caller progname mtime message/ ],
            values     => [ qw/%level %time %date %pid %hostname %caller %progname %mtime %message/ ],
            maxlevel   => "error",
            minlevel   => "emergency"
            newline    => 0,
            message_pattern => "%L %T %D %P %H %C %S %t %m",
        }
    );
    $log->error("log an error");

Or with "dbname"

    $log->add(
        dbi => {
            dbname     => "database",
            driver     => "Pg",
            host       => "127.0.0.1",
            port       => 5432,
            user       => "user",
            password   => "password",
            table      => "messages",
            columns    => [ qw/level ctime cdate pid hostname caller progname mtime message/ ],
            values     => [ qw/%level %time %date %pid %hostname %caller %progname %mtime %message/ ],
            maxlevel   => "error",
            minlevel   => "emergency"
            newline    => 0,
            message_pattern => "%L %T %D %P %H %C %S %t %m",
        }
    );

Or with "data_source"

    $log->add(
        dbi => {
            data_source => "dbi:SQLite:dbname=database.sqlite",
            table       => "messages",
            columns     => [ qw/level ctime cdate pid hostname caller progname mtime message/ ],
            values      => [ qw/%level %time %date %pid %hostname %caller %progname %mtime %message/ ],
            maxlevel    => "error",
            minlevel    => "emergency"
            newline     => 0,
            message_pattern => "%L %T %D %P %H %C %S %t %m",
        }
    );

LOG VIA EMAIL

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add(
        email => {
            host     => "mx.bar.example",
            hello    => "EHLO my.domain.example",
            timeout  => 30,
            from     => "[email protected]",
            to       => "[email protected]",
            subject  => "your subject",
            buffer   => 0,
            maxlevel => "emergency",
            minlevel => "emergency",
            message_pattern => '%L',
        }
    );
    $log->emergency("log an emergency issue");

LOG VIA SENDMAIL

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add(
        sendmail => {
            from     => "[email protected]",
            to       => "[email protected]",
            subject  => "your subject",
            maxlevel => "error",
            minlevel => "error",
            message_pattern => '%L',
        }

            maxlevel => 7,
            minlevel => 0
        }
    );
    $log->error("log an error");

LOG VIA FORWARD

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add(
        forward => {
            forward_to      => \&my_func,
            message_pattern => [ qw/%L %T %P %H %C %S %t/ ],
            message_layout  => "%m",
            maxlevel        => "info",
        }
    );
    $log->info("log a information");
    sub my_func {
        my $params = shift;
        print Dumper($params);
    }

LOG VIA SCREEN

            log_to   => "STDERR",
            maxlevel => "info",
        }
    );
    $log->info("log to the screen");

LOG VIA SOCKET

        }
    );
    while ( 1 ) {
        $log->info("test")
            or warn "unable to send message: ", $log->errstr;
        sleep 1;
    }

SIMPLE SOCKET SERVER (TCP)

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use IO::Socket::INET;
    use Log::Handler::Output::File;
    my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(
        LocalAddr => "127.0.0.1",
        LocalPort => 44444,
        Listen    => 2,
    ) or die $!;
    my $file = Log::Handler::Output::File->new(
        filename => "file.log",
        fileopen => 1,
        reopen   => 1,
    );
    while ( 1 ) {
        $file->log(message => "waiting for next connection\n");
        while (my $request = $sock->accept) {
            my $ipaddr = sprintf("%-15s", $request->peerhost);
            while (my $message = <$request>) {
                $file->log(message => "$ipaddr - $message");
            }
        }
    }

DIFFERENT OUTPUTS

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add(
        file => {
            filename => "common.log",
            maxlevel => 6,
            minlevel => 5,
        }
    );
    $log->add(
        file => {
            filename => "error.log",
            maxlevel => 4,
            minlevel => 0,
        }
    );
    $log->add(
        email => {
            host     => "mx.bar.example",
            hello    => "EHLO my.domain.example",
            timeout  => 120,
            from     => "[email protected]",
            to       => "[email protected]",
            subject  => "your subject",
            buffer   => 0,
            maxlevel => 0,
        }
    );
    # log to common.log
    $log->info("this is a info message");
    # log to error.log
    $log->warning("this is a warning");
    # log to error.log and to [email protected]
    $log->emergency("this is a emergency message");

FILTER MESSAGES

    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add(
        screen => {
            maxlevel => 6,
            filter_message => {
                match1    => "foo",
                match2    => "bar",
                match3    => "baz",
                condition => "(match1 && match2) && !match3"
            }
        }
    );
    $log->info("foo");
    $log->info("foo bar");
    $log->info("foo baz");

FILTER CALLER

This example shows you how it's possible to debug messages only from a special namespace.

    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add(
        file => {
            filename => "file1.log",
            maxlevel => "warning",
        }
    );
    $log->add(
        screen => {
            maxlevel => "debug",
            message_layout => "message from %p - %m",
            filter_caller  => qr/^Foo::Bar\z/,
        }
    );
    $log->warning("a warning here");
    package Foo::Bar;
    $log->info("an info here");
    1;

ANOTHER FILTER

    filter_message => "as string"
    filter_message => qr/as regexp/
    filter_message => sub { shift->{message} =~ /as code ref/ }
    # or with conditions
    filter_message => {
        match1    => "as string",
        match2    => qr/as regexp/,
        condition => "match1 || match2",
    }
    filter_caller => "as string"
    filter_caller => qr/as regexp/

CONFIG

Examples:

    my $log = Log::Handler->new( config => "logger.conf" );
    # or
    $log->add( config => "logger.conf" );
    # or
    $log->config( config => "logger.conf" );

Example with Config::General.

Script:

    use Log::Handler;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->config( config => "logger.conf" );

Config (logger.conf):

    <file>
        alias    = common
        filename = example.log
        maxlevel = info
        minlevel = warn
    </file>
    <file>
        alias    = error
        filename = example-error.log
        maxlevel = warn
        minlevel = emergency
    </file>
    <file>
        alias    = debug
        filename = example-debug.log
        maxlevel = debug
        minlevel = debug
    </file>
    <screen>
        log_to   = STDERR
        dump     = 1
        maxlevel = debug
        minlevel = debug
    </screen>

CHECK FOR ACTIVE LEVELS

It can be very useful if you want to check if a level is active.

    use Log::Handler;
    use Data::Dumper;
    my $log = Log::Handler->new();
    $log->add(
        file => {
            filename   => "file1.log",
            maxlevel   => 4,
        }
    );
    my %hash = (foo => 1, bar => 2);

Now you want to dump the hash, but not in any case.

    if ( $log->is_debug ) {
        my $dump = Dumper(\%hash);
        $log->debug($dump);
    }

This would dump the hash only if the level debug is active.
