NAME

Mojo::Log::JSON - Simple JSON logger

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Log::JSON;

# Log to STDERR
my $logger = Mojo::Log::JSON->new;

# Customize log file location, minimum log level and default fields
my $logger = Mojo::Log::JSON->new(    #
    path           => '/var/log/mojo.log',
    level          => 'warn',
    default_fields => {                      # default fields added to log
        app_name => "MyApp",                 # either scalar
        random_thing => sub { rand() },      # or codref,
    },
    include_level => 1,    # default - include 'level' key in output
);

# To add an extra default field
$logger->default_fields->{foo} = "bar";

# Log messages - debug, info, warn, error, fatal (same as Mojo::Log)
$logger->debug( "A simple string" );
$logger->debug( "A", "message", "over", "multiple", "lines" );
$logger->debug( { message => "A data structure", abc => "123" } );

# The above examples would generate something like the following:
{"datetime":"2014-03-13 13:15:44","foo":"bar","level":"debug","message":"A simple string"}
{"datetime":"2014-03-13 13:15:45","foo":"bar","level":"debug","message":"A\nmessage\nover\nmultiple\nlines"}
{"datetime":"2014-03-13 13:15:46","abc":"123","foo":"bar","level":"debug","message":"A data structure"}

# To not include 'level' set an undefined default_fields key either in the
# constructure or as follows:
$logger->default_fields->{level} = undef;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Log::JSON is a simple JSON logger for Mojo projects. It logs a JSON object (hashref) per log message. Each object occupies a single line to allow easy parsing of the log output.

The key level is always added to the data structure, with the value set to the level of the log message being emitted. To omit this, set include_level to a false value.

By default the key datetime is also added to the data structure with a value of the current time in ISO 8601 format. This can be removed or other fields can be added via the default_fields attribute.

ATTRIBUTES

All of the attributes of Mojo::Log are present, plus the following additional attributes.

codec

Pass in a JSON object to override the default JSON formatting settings.

default_fields

Hashref of key/value pairs to add to the data structure. Can be overwritten by values in the log message

METHODS

Mojo::Log::JSON inherits all methods from Mojo::Log.
