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     => "bar@foo.example",
        to       => "foo@bar.example",
        subject  => "your subject",
        buffer   => 0,
        maxlevel => "emergency",
        minlevel => "emergency",
        message_pattern => '%L',
    }
);

$log->emergency("log an emergency issue");

LOG VIA SENDMAIL

my $log = Log::Handler->new();

$log->add(
    sendmail => {
        from     => "bar@foo.example",
        to       => "foo@bar.example",
        subject  => "your subject",
        maxlevel => "error",
        minlevel => "error",
        message_pattern => '%L',
    }
);

$log->emergency("message");

LOG VIA FILE

my $log = Log::Handler->new();

$log->add(
    file => {
        filename => "file1.log",
        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

    }
);

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     => "bar@foo.example",
        to       => "foo@bar.example",
        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 foo@bar.example
$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 possilbe 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.
