Add start_distribution to kernel environment
OTP-15668
|
|
OTP-15479
OTP-15662
New configuration map for logger_std_h:
#{type => file,
file => file:filename(),
modes => [file:mode()],
max_no_bytes => pos_integer() | infinity,
max_no_files => non_neg_integer(),
compress_on_rotate => boolean()}
For backwards compatibility, the old variant for specifying the file
name via the 'type' parameter is still supported, i.e. {file,FileName}
and {file,FileName,Modes}, but it is no longer documented.
Rotation scheme:
The current log file always has the same name, and the archived files
get extensions ".0", ".1", ... The newest archive has extension ".0",
and the oldest archive has the highest number.
If 'compress_on_rotate' is set to true, the archived files are gzipped
and get the additional extension ".gz", e.g. error.log.0.gz.
Rotation is turned off by setting 'max_no_bytes' to infinity. Setting
'max_no_files' to 0 does not turn off rotation, but only specifies
that no archives are to be saved.

Sometimes you may want to start Erlang without any
of its distribution services. This commit adds an
environment configuration that allows so.
Because the servers we don't start here are a subset
of the servers not started on minimal mode, we do
have a guarantee that the system can still operate
as the system operates without those apps on minimal
mode.

Fix kernel_app doc logger_level defaults
|
|
|
|
The doc says the default kernel logger_level is info, it should be notice.
```
% erl
Erlang/OTP 21 [erts-10.0.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe] [dtrace]
Eshell V10.0.3 (abort with ^G)
1> application:get_env(kernel,logger_level).
{ok,notice}

Most logger configuration that was possible through
kernel application variables have been moved into a
common 'logger' application environment in kernel.
Now all the configuration possible through the logger
API can be done as sys config.
The handler started by kernel has been renamed to 'default'
instead of logger_std_h.
There is a new logger:setup_handlers/1 function that given an
application name can be used to setup handlers in other applications.

The Design Principles states that an application can have Erlang
source files one level below the "src" directory, and now
filelib:find_source() by default searches one level below "src".
The same applies to "esrc". That directory is only mentioned in
filename(3).

This allows the use of ~ts/~tp/~tw in calls to error_logger:format/2,
error_logger:error_msg/2 and error_logger:info_msg/2.

This patch adds a mechanism by which shell history gets stored
persistently on disk and gets loaded whenever a new shell session
begins.
The log files are added to the user's cache directory, with multiple
files in it, although the location is configurable.
All Erlang instances on a given host will share the same log file.
There are two hook points in group.erl that are used: when instantiating
the buffer, where we fetch from disk, and when adding a line to the
buffer (gets stored).
This allows all shell instances to use the same base set of lines when
loaded, but to keep their history separate after the fact. As lines are
added as you go, a new shell session (with ^G -> s -> c) will have
access to previous sessions' lines.
The implementation makes use of the disk_log library with a rotating log
in order to store data, and allow automated repairs.
By default, the feature is disabled and must be turned on through OTP
environment variable part of the kernel application. The options
include:
| Option | Accepted values | Default | Description |
| ------------------------ | ----------------- |---------- | -------------------- |
| shell_history | enabled, disabled | disabled | turn feature on/off |
| shell_history_path | any string | user cache| where to put files |
| shell_history_file_bytes | 51200..N bytes | 512kb | max data size (>50kb)|
| shell_history_drop | ["q().", ...] | [] | blacklisted lines |
A version header is added to the disk_log configuration, allowing
changes in the storage format to be enacted in the future (i.e. adding
segmentation by node name in the same file, or encoding) without
conflict.
Log rotation is used with multiple log files to ensure proper
enforcement of resizing without too much data loss. Because disk_log
does not allow to just flush bits of content on rewrite (it truncates
any full file), we instead use a wrap log and try to divide the
configured size into up to 10 log files so that every time we rotate a
log, we lose only 10% of the data. This remains true for corrupted files
that cannot fully be repaired.
This many-logs-based approach in turn forces the use of a minimal log
size for the `shell_history_file_bytes` configuration, since it has to
be divided by 10.
The shell history is not loaded for the `user` process which, despite
running the group.erl module, does not actually require history as it
mostly just forwards IO protocol information.
