NAME
Catalyst::Log - Catalyst Log Class
SYNOPSIS
$log = $c->log; $log->debug($message); $log->info($message); $log->warn($message); $log->error($message); $log->fatal($message); if ( $log->is_debug ) { # expensive debugging } See Catalyst.
DESCRIPTION
This module provides the default, simple logging functionality for Catalyst. If you want something different set "$c->log" in your application module, e.g.: $c->log( MyLogger->new ); Your logging object is expected to provide the interface described here. Good alternatives to consider are Log::Log4Perl and Log::Dispatch. If you want to be able to log arbitrary warnings, you can do something along the lines of $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { MyApp->log->warn(@_); }; however this is (a) global, (b) hairy and (c) may have unexpected side effects. Don't say we didn't warn you.
LOG LEVELS
debug $log->is_debug; $log->debug($message); info $log->is_info; $log->info($message); warn $log->is_warn; $log->warn($message); error $log->is_error; $log->error($message); fatal $log->is_fatal; $log->fatal($message);
METHODS
new Constructor. Defaults to enable all levels unless levels are provided in arguments. $log = Catalyst::Log->new; $log = Catalyst::Log->new( 'warn', 'error' ); level Contains a bitmask of the currently set log levels. levels Set log levels $log->levels( 'warn', 'error', 'fatal' ); enable Enable log levels $log->enable( 'warn', 'error' ); disable Disable log levels $log->disable( 'warn', 'error' ); is_debug is_error is_fatal is_info is_warn Is the log level active? abort Should Catalyst emit logs for this request? Will be reset at the end of each request. *NOTE* This method is not compatible with other log apis, so if you plan to use Log4Perl or another logger, you should call it like this: $c->log->abort(1) if $c->log->can('abort'); autoflush When enabled (default), messages are written to the log immediately instead of queued until the end of the request. This option, as well as "abort", is provided for modules such as Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple to be able to programmatically suppress the output of log messages. By turning off "autoflush" (application-wide setting) and then setting the "abort" flag within a given request, all log messages for the given request will be suppressed. "abort" can still be set independently of turning off "autoflush", however. It just means any messages sent to the log up until that point in the request will obviously still be emitted, since "autoflush" means they are written in real-time. If you need to turn off autoflush you should do it like this (in your main app class): after setup_finalize => sub { my $c = shift; $c->log->autoflush(0) if $c->log->can('autoflush'); }; _send_to_log $log->_send_to_log( @messages ); This protected method is what actually sends the log information to STDERR. You may subclass this module and override this method to get finer control over the log output. psgienv $env $log->psgienv($env); NOTE: This is not meant for public consumption. Set the PSGI environment for this request. This ensures logs will be sent to the right place. If the environment has a "psgix.logger", it will be used. If not, we will send logs to "psgi.errors" if that exists. As a last fallback, we will send to STDERR as before. clear_psgi Clears the PSGI environment attributes set by "psgienv". meta
