=head1 NAME
Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized - Synchronizing other appenders
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);
my $conf = qq(
log4perl.category = WARN, Syncer
# File appender (unsynchronized)
log4perl.appender.Logfile = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.Logfile.autoflush = 1
log4perl.appender.Logfile.filename = test.log
log4perl.appender.Logfile.mode = truncate
log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout = SimpleLayout
# Synchronizing appender, using the file appender above
log4perl.appender.Syncer = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized
log4perl.appender.Syncer.appender = Logfile
);
Log::Log4perl->init(\$conf);
WARN("This message is guaranteed to be complete.");
=head1 DESCRIPTION
If multiple processes are using the same C<Log::Log4perl> appender
without synchronization, overwrites might happen. A typical scenario
for this would be a process spawning children, each of which inherits
the parent's Log::Log4perl configuration.
In most cases, you won't need an external synchronisation tool like
Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized at all. Log4perl's file appender,
Log::Log4perl::Appender::File, for example, provides the C<syswrite>
mechanism for making sure that even long log lines won't interleave.
Short log lines won't interleave anyway, because the operating system
makes sure the line gets written before a task switch occurs.
In cases where you need additional synchronization, however, you can use
C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized> as a gateway between your
loggers and your appenders. An appender itself,
C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized> just takes two additional
arguments:
=over 4
=item C<appender>
Specifies the name of the appender it synchronizes access to. The
appender specified must be defined somewhere in the configuration file,
not necessarily before the definition of
C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized>.
=item C<key>
This optional argument specifies the key for the semaphore that
C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized> uses internally to ensure
atomic operations. It defaults to C<_l4p>. If you define more than
one C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized> appender, it is
important to specify different keys for them, as otherwise every
new C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized> appender will nuke
previously defined semaphores. The maximum key length is four
characters, longer keys will be truncated to 4 characters --
C<mylongkey1> and C<mylongkey2> are interpreted to be the same:
C<mylo> (thanks to David Viner E<lt>dviner@yahoo-inc.comE<gt> for
pointing this out).
=back
C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized> uses Log::Log4perl::Util::Semaphore
internally to perform locking with semaphores provided by the
operating system used.
=head2 Performance tips
The C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized> serializes access to a
protected resource globally, slowing down actions otherwise performed in
parallel.
Unless specified otherwise, all instances of
C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized> objects in the system will
use the same global IPC key C<_l4p>.
To control access to different appender instances, it often makes sense
to define different keys for different synchronizing appenders. In this
way, Log::Log4perl serializes access to each appender instance separately:
log4perl.category = WARN, Syncer1, Syncer2
# File appender 1 (unsynchronized)
log4perl.appender.Logfile1 = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.Logfile1.filename = test1.log
log4perl.appender.Logfile1.layout = SimpleLayout
# File appender 2 (unsynchronized)
log4perl.appender.Logfile2 = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.Logfile2.filename = test2.log
log4perl.appender.Logfile2.layout = SimpleLayout
# Synchronizing appender, using the file appender above
log4perl.appender.Syncer1 = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized
log4perl.appender.Syncer1.appender = Logfile1
log4perl.appender.Syncer1.key = l4p1
# Synchronizing appender, using the file appender above
log4perl.appender.Syncer2 = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized
log4perl.appender.Syncer2.appender = Logfile2
log4perl.appender.Syncer2.key = l4p2
Without the C<.key = l4p1> and C<.key = l4p2> lines, both Synchronized
appenders would be using the default C<_l4p> key, causing unnecessary
serialization of output written to different files.
=head2 Advanced configuration
To configure the underlying Log::Log4perl::Util::Semaphore module in
a different way than with the default settings provided by
Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized, use the following parameters:
log4perl.appender.Syncer1.destroy = 1
log4perl.appender.Syncer1.mode = sub { 0775 }
log4perl.appender.Syncer1.uid = hugo
log4perl.appender.Syncer1.gid = 100
Valid options are
C<destroy> (Remove the semaphore on exit),
C<mode> (permissions on the semaphore),
C<uid> (uid or user name the semaphore is owned by),
and
C<gid> (group id the semaphore is owned by),
Note that C<mode> is usually given in octal and therefore needs to be
specified as a perl sub {}, unless you want to calculate what 0755 means
in decimal.
Changing ownership or group settings for a semaphore will obviously only
work if the current user ID owns the semaphore already or if the current
user is C<root>. The C<destroy> option causes the current process to
destroy the semaphore on exit. Spawned children of the process won't
inherit this behavior.
=head2 Semaphore user and group IDs with mod_perl
Setting user and group IDs is especially important when the Synchronized
appender is used with mod_perl. If Log4perl gets initialized by a startup
handler, which runs as root, and not as the user who will later use
the semaphore, the settings for uid, gid, and mode can help establish
matching semaphore ownership and access rights.
=head1 DEVELOPMENT NOTES
C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized> is a I<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 I<not> applied to the sub-appender. Same applies to appender
thresholds. This behaviour might change in the future.
