NAME

       Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch - send messages to Log::Dispatch back-end

INHERITANCE

        Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch
          is a Log::Report::Dispatcher

SYNOPSIS

        use Log::Dispatch::File;
        dispatcher Log::Dispatch::File => 'logger', accept => 'NOTICE-'
          , filename => 'logfile', to_level => [ 'ALERT-' => 'err' ];

        # disable default dispatcher
        dispatcher close => 'logger';

DESCRIPTION

       This dispatchers produces output to and "Log::Dispatch" back-end.  (which will NOT be automatically
       installed for you).

       The REASON for a message often uses names which are quite similar to the log-levels used by
       Log::Dispatch.  However: they have a different approach.  The REASON of Log::Report limits the
       responsibility of the programmer to indicate the cause of the message: whether it was able to handle a
       certain situation.  The Log::Dispatch levels are there for the user's of the program.  However: the
       programmer does not known anything about the application (in the general case).  This is cause of much of
       the trickery in Perl programs.

       The default translation table is list below.  You can change the mapping using new(to_level).  See
       example in SYNOPSIS.

       Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch->new($type, $name, %options)
           The  Log::Dispatch  infrastructure  has  quite  a  large  number  of output TYPEs, each extending the
           Log::Dispatch::Output base-class.  You do not create these objects yourself: Log::Report is doing  it
           for you.

           The  Log::Dispatch  back-ends  are very careful with validating their parameters, so you will need to
           restrict the options to what is supported for the specific back-end.  See  their  respective  manual-
           pages.  The errors produced by the back-ends quite horrible and untranslated, sorry.

             Restrict  the  messages  which  are  passed  through  based  on  the LEVEL, so after the reason got
             translated into a Log::Dispatch compatible LEVEL.  The default will  use  Log::Report  restrictions
             only.
