Appender::Buffer(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Appender::Buffer(3pm)
NAME
Log::Log4perl::Appender::Buffer - Buffering Appender
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);
my $conf = qq(
log4perl.category = DEBUG, Buffer
# Regular Screen Appender
log4perl.appender.Screen = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen
log4perl.appender.Screen.stdout = 1
log4perl.appender.Screen.layout = PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.Screen.layout.ConversionPattern = %d %p %c %m %n
# Buffering appender, using the appender above as outlet
log4perl.appender.Buffer = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Buffer
log4perl.appender.Buffer.appender = Screen
log4perl.appender.Buffer.trigger_level = ERROR
);
Log::Log4perl->init(\$conf);
DEBUG("This message gets buffered.");
INFO("This message gets buffered also.");
# Time passes. Nothing happens. But then ...
print "It's GO time!!!\n";
ERROR("This message triggers a buffer flush.");
DESCRIPTION
"Log::Log4perl::Appender::Buffer" takes these arguments:
"appender"
Specifies the name of the appender it buffers messages for. The appender specified
must be defined somewhere in the configuration file, not necessarily before the defi-
nition of "Log::Log4perl::Appender::Buffer".
"max_messages"
Specifies the maximum number of messages the appender will hold in its ring buffer.
"max_messages" is optional. By default, "Log::Log4perl::Appender::Buffer" will not
limit the number of messages buffered. This might be undesirable in long-running pro-
cesses accumulating lots of messages before a flush happens. If "max_messages" is set
to a numeric value, "Log::Log4perl::Appender::Buffer" will displace old messages in
its buffer to make room if the buffer is full.
"trigger_level"
If trigger_level is set to one of Log4perl's levels (see Log::Log4perl::Level), a
"trigger" function will be defined internally to flush the buffer if a message with a
priority of $level or higher comes along. This is just a convenience function. Defin-
ing
log4perl.appender.Buffer.trigger_level = ERROR
is equivalent to creating a trigger function like
log4perl.appender.Buffer.trigger = sub { \
my($self, $params) = @_; \
return $params->{log4p_level} >= \
$Log::Log4perl::Level::ERROR; }
See the next section for defining generic trigger functions.
"trigger"
"trigger" holds a reference to a subroutine, which "Log::Log4perl::Appender::Buffer"
will call on every incoming message with the same parameters as the appender's "log()"
method:
my($self, $params) = @_;
$params references a hash containing the message priority (key "l4p_level"), the mes-
sage category (key "l4p_category") and the content of the message (key "message").
If the subroutine returns 1, it will trigger a flush of buffered messages.
Shortcut
DEVELOPMENT NOTES
"Log::Log4perl::Appender::Buffer" is a composite appender. Unlike other appenders, it
doesn't log any messages, it just passes them on to its attached sub-appender. For this
reason, it doesn't need a layout (contrary to regular appenders). If it defines none,
messages are passed on unaltered.
Custom filters are also applied to the composite appender only. They are not applied to
the sub-appender. Same applies to appender thresholds. This behaviour might change in the
future.
