Log::Agent ---- A general logging framework RAM
::Rotate adpO Logfile rotation config and support RAM
The Log::Agent::Rotate module is an extension of Log::Agent that brings
file-rotating features to the File logging driver.
It is separated from Log::Agent itself because it has dependencies
on LockFile::Simple and Compress::Zlib that Log::Agent cannot have:
everyone with a plain stock Perl distribution must be able to simply
install Log::Agent and start using it.
This is NOT a generic all-purpose logfile rotation package. It is meant
to be used only within the Log::Agent framework.
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Agent;
require Log::Agent::Driver::File;
require Log::Agent::Rotate;
(my $me = $0) =~ s|.*/(.*)|$1|;
my $rotate = Log::Agent::Rotate->make(
-backlog => 7, # keep last seven logs + current
-unzipped => 2, # don't compress last archived 2 logs
-is_alone => 1, # programmer says only ONE process will run
-max_size => 100_000, # file will rotate when bigger than 100K
);
my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::File->make(
-prefix => $me,
-showpid => 1,
-rotate => $rotate, # default rotation policy
-channels => {
'error' => '/tmp/output.err',
'output' => ['log.out', $rotate], # could have special policy
'debug' => '../appli.debug',
},
);
logconfig(-driver => $driver, -level => 'notice');
DESCRIPTION
Log::Agent::Rotate lets you specify the logfile rotation policy that will
be used on the logfiles managed via a Log::Agent::Driver::File driver.
It can be useful for daemon process to periodically rotate the logfiles
whilst keeping some fair amount of backlog. But it can also be used by
programs that run a short period of time and generate systematic logging,
that would end-up eating all the disk space if not monitored.
Please read the Log::Agent::Rotate(3) manpage and the related pages for more
information.
