NAME

Net::Server::Log::Log::Log4perl - log via Log4perl

SYNOPSIS

use base qw(Net::Server::PreFork);
__PACKAGE__->run(
    log_file => 'Log::Log4perl',
    log4perl_conf => '/path/to/my/log4perl.conf',
    log4perl_logger => 'myapp',
);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides Log::Log4perl style logging to the Net::Server system.

CONFIGURATION

log_file

To begin using Log::Log4perl logging, simply set the Net::Server log_file configuration parameter to "Log::Log4perl".

If the magic name "Log::Log4perl" is used, all logging will be directed to the Log4perl system. If used, the "log4perl_conf", "log4perl_poll", "log4perl_logger" may also be defined.

log4perl_conf

Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Log::Log4perl". This is the filename of the log4perl configuration file - see Log::Log4perl. If this is not set, will die on startup. If the file is not readable, will die.

log4perl_poll

If set to a value, will initialize with Log::Log4perl::init_and_watch with this polling value. This can also be the string "HUP" to re-read the log4perl_conf when a HUP signal is received. If set to 0, no polling is done. See Log::Log4perl for more details.

log4perl_logger

This is the facility name. Defaults to "Net::Server".

DEFAULT ARGUMENTS FOR Net::Server

The following arguments are available in the default "Net::Server" or "Net::Server::Single" modules. (Other personalities may use additional parameters and may optionally not use parameters from the base class.)

Key               Value                    Default
## log4perl parameters (if log_file eq Log::Log4perl)
log4perl_conf     "filename"               will die if not set
log4perl_poll     number or HUP            0 (no polling)
log4perl_logger   "name"                   "Net::Server"

METHODS

"initialize"

This method is called during the initilize_logging method of Net::Server. It returns a single code ref that will be stored under the log_function property of the Net::Server object. That code ref takes log_level and message as arguments and calls the initialized log4perl system.
