Logger consists of the API for issuing log events, + and a customizable backend where log handlers, filters and + formatters can be plugged in.</p> + <p>By default, the Kernel application installs one log handler at + system start. This handler is named <c>default</c>. It receives + and processes standard log events produced by the Erlang runtime + system, standard behaviours and different Erlang/OTP + applications. The log events are by default written to the + terminal.</p> + <p>You can also configure the system so that the default handler + prints log events to a single file, or to a set of wrap logs + via <seealso marker="disk_log"><c>disk_log</c></seealso>.</p> + <p>By configuration, you can also modify or disable the default + handler, replace it by a custom handler, and install additional + handlers.</p> + + <section> + <title>Overview</title> + <p>A <em>log event</em> consists of a <em>log level</em>, the + <em>message</em> to be logged, and <em>metadata</em>.</p> + <p>The Logger backend forwards log events from the API, first + through a set of <em>primary filters</em>, then through a set of + secondary filters attached to each log handler. The secondary + filters are in the following named <em>handler filters</em>.</p> + <p>Each filter set consists of a <em>log level check</em>, + followed by zero or more <em>filter functions</em>.</p> + <p>The following figure shows a conceptual overview of Logger. The + figure shows two log handlers, but any number of handlers can be + installed.</p> + + <image file="logger_arch.png"> + <icaption>Conceptual Overview</icaption> + </image> + + <p>Log levels are expressed as atoms. Internally in Logger, the + atoms are mapped to integer values, and a log event passes the + log level check if the integer value of its log level is less + than or equal to the currently configured log level. That is, + the check passes if the event is equally or more severe than the + configured level. See section <seealso marker="#log_level">Log + Level</seealso> for a listing and description of all log + levels.</p> + <p>The primary log level can be overridden by a log level + configured per module. This is to, for instance, allow more + verbose logging from a specific part of the system.</p> + <p>Filter functions can be used for more sophisticated filtering + than the log level check provides. A filter function can stop or + pass a log event, based on any of the event's contents. It can + also modify all parts of the log event. See see + section <seealso marker="#filters">Filters</seealso> for more + details.</p> + <p>If a log event passes through all primary filters and all + handler filters for a specific handler, Logger forwards the event + to the handler callback. The handler formats and prints the + event to its destination. See + section <seealso marker="#handlers">Handlers</seealso> for + more details.</p> + <p>Everything up to and including the call to the handler + callbacks is executed on the client process, that is, the + process where the log event was issued. It is up to the handler + implementation if other processes are involved or not.</p> + <p>The handlers are called in sequence, and the order is not + defined.</p> + </section> + <section> + <title>Logger API</title> + <p>The API for logging consists of a set + of <seealso marker="logger#macros">macros</seealso>, and a set + of functions on the form <c>logger:Level/1,2,3</c>, which are + all shortcuts + for <seealso marker="logger#log-2"> + <c>logger:log(Level,Arg1[,Arg2[,Arg3]])</c></seealso>.</p> + <p>The difference between using the macros and the exported + functions is that macros add location (originator) information + to the metadata, and performs lazy evaluation by wrapping the + logger call in a case statement, so it is only evaluated if the + log level of the event passes the primary log level check.</p> + <section> + <marker id="log_level"/> + <title>Log Level</title> + <p>The log level indicates the severity of a event. In + accordance with the Syslog protocol, RFC-5424, eight log + levels can be specified. The following table lists all + possible log levels by name (atom), integer value, and + description:</p> + + <table align="left"> + <row> + <cell><strong>Level</strong></cell> + <cell align="center"><strong>Integer</strong></cell> + <cell><strong>Description</strong></cell> + </row> + <row> + <cell>emergency</cell> + <cell align="center">0</cell> + <cell>system is unusable</cell> + </row> + <row> + <cell>alert</cell> + <cell align="center">1</cell> + <cell>action must be taken immediately</cell> + </row> + <row> + <cell>critical</cell> + <cell align="center">2</cell> + <cell>critical conditions</cell> + </row> + <row> + <cell>error</cell> + <cell align="center">3</cell> + <cell>error conditions</cell> + </row> + <row> + <cell>warning</cell> + <cell align="center">4</cell> + <cell>warning conditions</cell> + </row> + <row> + <cell>notice</cell> + <cell align="center">5</cell> + <cell>normal but significant conditions</cell> + </row> + <row> + <cell>info</cell> + <cell align="center">6</cell> + <cell>informational messages</cell> + </row> + <row> + <cell>debug</cell> + <cell align="center">7</cell> + <cell>debug-level messages</cell> + </row> + <tcaption>Log Levels</tcaption> + </table> + <p>Notice that the integer value is only used internally in + Logger.

The + message can consist of a format string and arguments (given as + two separate parameters in the Logger API), a string or a + report. The latter, which is either a map or a key-value list, + can be accompanied by a <em>report callback</em> specified in + the log event's <seealso marker="#metadata">metadata</seealso>. + The report callback is a convenience function that + the <seealso marker="#formatters">formatter</seealso> can use + to convert the report to a format string and arguments. The + formatter can also use its own conversion function, if no + callback is provided, or if a customized formatting is + desired.</p> + <p>Example, format string and arguments:</p> + <code>logger:error("The file does not exist: ~ts",[Filename])</code> + <p>Example, string:</p> + <code>logger:notice("Something strange happened!")</code> + <p>Example, report, and metadata with report callback:</p> + <code> +logger:debug(#{got => connection_request, id => Id, state => State}, + #{report_cb => fun(R) -> {"~p",[R]} end})</code> + <p>The log message can also be provided through a fun for lazy + evaluation. The fun is only evaluated if the primary log level + check passes, and is therefore recommended if it is expensive + to generate the message. The lazy fun must return a string, a + report, or a tuple with format string and arguments.</p> + </section> + <section> + <title>Metadata</title> + <p>Metadata contains additional data associated with a log + message. Logger inserts some metadata fields by default, and + the client can add custom metadata in two different ways:</p> + <taglist> + <tag>Set process metadata</tag> + <item> + <p>Process metadata is set and updated + with <seealso marker="logger#set_process_metadata-1"> + <c>logger:set_process_metadata/1</c></seealso> + and <seealso marker="logger#update_process_metadata-1"> + <c>logger:update_process metadata/1</c></seealso>, + respectively.

Logger calls the primary filters first, and if they all + pass, it calls the handler filters for each handler. Logger + calls the handler callback only if all filters attached to the + handler in question also pass.</p> + <p>A filter is defined as:</p> + <pre>{FilterFun, Extra}</pre> + <p>where <c>FilterFun</c> is a function of arity 2, + and <c>Extra</c> is any term. When applying the filter, Logger + calls the function with the log event as the first argument, + and the value of <c>Extra</c> as the second + argument. See <seealso marker="logger#type-filter"> + <c>logger:filter()</c></seealso> for type definitions.</p> + <p>The filter function can return <c>stop</c>, <c>ignore</c> or + the (possibly modified) log event.</p> + <p>If <c>stop</c> is returned, the log event is immediately + discarded. If the filter is primary, no handler filters or + callbacks are called. If it is a handler filter, the + corresponding handler callback is not called, but the log event + is forwarded to filters attached to the next handler, if + any.</p> + <p>If the log event is returned, the next filter function is + called with the returned value as the first argument. That is, + if a filter function modifies the log event, the next filter + function receives the modified event. The value returned from + the last filter function is the value that the handler callback + receives.</p> + <p>If the filter function returns <c>ignore</c>, it means that it + did not recognize the log event, and thus leaves to other + filters to decide the event's destiny.</p> + <p>The configuration option <c>filter_default</c> specifies the + behaviour if all filter functions return <c>ignore</c>, or if no + filters exist. <c>filter_default</c> is by default set + to <c>log</c>, meaning that if all existing filters ignore a log + event, Logger forwards the event to the handler + callback.

If the message queue grows larger than this value, however, + the handler starts handling the log requests synchronously instead, + meaning the process sending the request will have to wait for a + response. When the handler manages to reduce the message queue to a + level below the <c>toggle_sync_qlen</c> threshold, asynchronous + operation is resumed. The switch from asynchronous to synchronous + mode will force the logging tempo of few busy senders to slow down, + but cannot protect the handler sufficiently in situations of many + concurrent senders.</p> + </item> + <tag><c>drop_new_reqs_qlen</c></tag> + <item> + <p>When the message queue has grown larger than this threshold, which + defaults to <c>200</c> messages, the handler switches to a mode in + which it drops any new requests being made. Dropping a message in + this state means that the log function never actually sends a message + to the handler. The log call simply returns without an action. When + the length of the message queue has been reduced to a level below this + threshold, synchronous or asynchronous request handling mode is + resumed.</p> + </item> + <tag><c>flush_reqs_qlen</c></tag> + <item> + <p>Above this threshold, which defaults to <c>1000</c> messages, a + flush operation takes place, in which all messages buffered in the + process mailbox get deleted without any logging actually taking + place. (Processes waiting for a response from a synchronous log request + will receive a reply indicating that the request has been dropped).</p> + </item> + </taglist> + + <p>For the overload protection algorithm to work properly, it is + required that:</p> + + <p><c>toggle_sync_qlen =< drop_new_reqs_qlen =< flush_reqs_qlen</c></p> + + <p>and that:</p> + + <p><c>drop_new_reqs_qlen > 1</c></p> + + <p>If <c>toggle_sync_qlen</c> is set to <c>0</c>, the handler will handle all + requests synchronously. Setting the value of <c>toggle_sync_qlen</c> to the same + as <c>drop_new_reqs_qlen</c>, disables the synchronous mode. Likewise, setting + the value of <c>drop_new_reqs_qlen</c> to the same as <c>flush_reqs_qlen</c>, + disables the drop mode.</p> + + <p>During high load scenarios, the length of the handler message queue + rarely grows in a linear and predictable way. Instead, whenever the + handler process gets scheduled in, it can have an almost arbitrary number + of messages waiting in the mailbox. It's for this reason that the overload + protection mechanism is focused on acting quickly and quite drastically + (such as immediately dropping or flushing messages) as soon as a large + queue length is detected. </p> + + <p>The thresholds listed above may be modified by the user if, e.g, a handler + shouldn't drop or flush messages unless the message queue length grows + extremely large. (The handler must be allowed to use large amounts of memory + under such circumstances however). Another example of when the user might want + to change the settings is if, for performance reasons, the logging processes must + never get blocked by synchronous log requests, while dropping or flushing requests + is perfectly acceptable (since it doesn't affect the performance of the + loggers).</p> + + <p>A configuration example:</p> + <code type="none"> +logger:add_handler(my_standard_h, logger_std_h, + #{config => + #{type => {file,"./system_info.log"}, + toggle_sync_qlen => 100, + drop_new_reqs_qlen => 1000, + flush_reqs_qlen => 2000}}). + </code> + </section> + + <section> + <title>Controlling Bursts of Log Requests</title> + <p>A potential problem with large bursts of log requests, is that log files + may get full or wrapped too quickly (in the latter case overwriting + previously logged data that could be of great importance). For this reason, + both built-in handlers offer the possibility to set a maximum level of how + many requests to process with a certain time frame.
