NAME

       logger_filters - Filters to use with Logger.

DESCRIPTION

       All  functions  exported  from  this module can be used as primary or handler filters. See
       logger:add_primary_filter/2 and logger:add_handler_filter/3 for more information about how
       filters are added.

       Filters        are       removed       with       logger:remove_primary_filter/1       and
       logger:remove_handler_filter/2.

EXPORTS

       domain(LogEvent, Extra) -> logger:filter_return()

              Types:

                 LogEvent = logger:log_event()
                 Extra = {Action, Compare, MatchDomain}
                 Action = log | stop
                 Compare = super | sub | equal | not_equal | undefined
                 MatchDomain = [atom()]

              This filter provides a way of filtering log events  based  on  a  domain  field  in
              Metadata.  This  field  is  optional,  and  the purpose of using it is to group log
              events from, for example, a specific functional  area.  This  allows  filtering  or
              other specialized treatment in a Logger handler.

              A  domain  field  must  be  a  list of atoms, creating smaller and more specialized
              domains as the list grows longer. The greatest domain is [],  which  comprises  all
              possible domains.

              For example, consider the following domains:

              D1 = [otp]
              D2 = [otp, sasl]

              D1 is the greatest of the two, and is said to be a super-domain of D2. D2 is a sub-
              domain D1. Both D1 and D2 are sub-domains of [].

              The above domains are used for logs originating from Erlang/OTP. D1 specifies  that
              the log event comes from Erlang/OTP in general, and D2 indicates that the log event
              is a so called SASL report.

              The Extra parameter to the domain/2 function is specified when  adding  the  filter
              via logger:add_primary_filter/2 or logger:add_handler_filter/3.

              The  filter  compares  the  value  of  the domain field in the log event's metadata
              (Domain) against MatchDomain. The filter matches if the value of Compare is:

                sub:
                  and Domain is equal to or a sub-domain of MatchDomain, that is, if  MatchDomain
                  is a prefix of Domain.

                super:
                  and  Domain is equal to or a super-domain of MatchDomain, that is, if Domain is
                  a prefix of MatchDomain.

                equal:
                  and Domain is equal to MatchDomain.

                not_equal:
                  and Domain differs from  MatchDomain,  or  if  there  is  no  domain  field  in
                  metadata.

                undefined:
                  and  there is no domain field in metadata. In this case MatchDomain must be set
                  to [].

              If the filter matches and Action is log, the log event is allowed.  If  the  filter
              matches and Action is stop, the log event is stopped.

              If the filter does not match, it returns ignore, meaning that other filters, or the
              value of the configuration parameter filter_default, decide if the event is allowed
              or not.

              Log  events  that do not contain any domain field, match only when Compare is equal
              to undefined or not_equal.

              Example: stop all events with domain [otp, sasl | _]

              logger:set_handler_config(h1, filter_default, log). % this is the default
              Filter = {fun logger_filters:domain/2, {stop, sub, [otp, sasl]}}.
              logger:add_handler_filter(h1, no_sasl, Filter).
              ok

       level(LogEvent, Extra) -> logger:filter_return()

              Types:

                 LogEvent = logger:log_event()
                 Extra = {Action, Operator, MatchLevel}
                 Action = log | stop
                 Operator = neq | eq | lt | gt | lteq | gteq
                 MatchLevel = logger:level()

              This filter provides a way of filtering log events  based  on  the  log  level.  It
              matches log events by comparing the log level with a specified MatchLevel

              The    Extra    parameter    is    specified    when    adding   the   filter   via
              logger:add_primary_filter/2 or logger:add_handler_filter/3.

              The filter compares the value of the event's log level  (Level)  to  MatchLevel  by
              calling  logger:compare_levels(Level,  MatchLevel). The filter matches if the value
              of Operator is:

                neq:
                  and the compare function returns lt or gt.

                eq:
                  and the compare function returns eq.

                lt:
                  and the compare function returns lt.

                gt:
                  and the compare function returns gt.

                lteq:
                  and the compare function returns lt or eq.

                gteq:
                  and the compare function returns gt or eq.

              If the filter matches and Action is log, the log event is allowed.  If  the  filter
              matches and Action is stop, the log event is stopped.

              If the filter does not match, it returns ignore, meaning that other filters, or the
              value of the configuration parameter filter_default, will decide if  the  event  is
              allowed or not.

              Example: only allow debug level log events

              logger:set_handler_config(h1, filter_default, stop).
              Filter = {fun logger_filters:level/2, {log, eq, debug}}.
              logger:add_handler_filter(h1, debug_only, Filter).
              ok

       progress(LogEvent, Extra) -> logger:filter_return()

              Types:

                 LogEvent = logger:log_event()
                 Extra = log | stop

              This    filter    matches    all    progress    reports    from    supervisor   and
              application_controller.

              If Extra is log, the progress reports are allowed. If Extra is stop,  the  progress
              reports are stopped.

              The filter returns ignore for all other log events.

       remote_gl(LogEvent, Extra) -> logger:filter_return()

              Types:

                 LogEvent = logger:log_event()
                 Extra = log | stop

              This filter matches all events originating from a process that has its group leader
              on a remote node.

              If Extra is log, the matching events are allowed. If Extra is  stop,  the  matching
              events are stopped.

              The filter returns ignore for all other log events.
