    <p>Filters to use with logger. All functions exported from this
      module can be used as logger or handler
      filters. See <seealso marker="logger#add_logger_filter-2">

      and <seealso marker="logger#add_handler_filter-3">
	<c>logger:add_handler_filter/3</c></seealso>
      for more information about how filters are added.</p>

    <func>
      <name name="domain" arity="2"/>
      <fsummary>Filter log events based on the domain field in metadata.</fsummary>
      <desc>
	  <p>This filter provides a way of filtering log events based on a
	    <c>domain</c> field <c>Metadata</c>.</p>

	  <p>The <c><anno>Extra</anno></c> parameter is specified when
	    adding the filter
	    via <seealso marker="logger#add_logger_filter-2">
	      <c>logger:add_logger_filter/2</c></seealso>
	    or <seealso marker="logger#add_handler_filter-3">
	      <c>logger:add_handler_filter/3</c></seealso>.</p>

	  <p>The filter compares the value of the <c>domain</c> field
	    in the log event's metadata (<c>Domain</c>)
	    to <c><anno>MatchDomain</anno></c> as follows:</p>

	  <taglist>
	    <tag><c><anno>Compare</anno> = starts_with</c></tag>
	    <item><p>The filter matches if <c>MatchDomain</c> is a prefix
	      of <c>Domain</c>.</p></item>
	    <tag><c><anno>Compare</anno> = prefix_of</c></tag>
	    <item><p>The filter matches if <c>Domain</c> is a prefix
	      of <c>MatchDomain</c>.</p></item>
	    <tag><c><anno>Compare</anno> = equals</c></tag>
	    <item><p>The filter matches if <c>Domain</c> is equal
	      to <c>MatchDomain</c>.</p></item>
	    <tag><c><anno>Compare</anno> = no_domain</c></tag>
	    <item><p>The filter matches if there is no domain field in
	      metadata. In this case <c><anno>MatchDomain</anno></c> shall
	      be <c>[]</c>.</p></item>
	  </taglist>

          <p>If the filter matches and <c><anno>Action</anno> =
            log</c>, the log event is allowed. If the filter matches
            and <c><anno>Action</anno> = stop</c>, the log event is
            stopped.</p>

	  <p>If the filter does not match, it returns <c>ignore</c>,
	    meaning that other filters, or the value of the
	    configuration parameter <c>filter_default</c>, will decide
	    if the event is allowed or not.</p>

	  <p>Log events that do not contain any domain field, will
	    only match when <c><anno>Compare</anno> = no_domain</c>.</p>

	  <p>Example: stop all events with
	    domain <c>[beam,erlang,otp,sasl|_]</c></p>

	  <code>
logger:set_handler_config(h1,filter_default,log). % this is the default
Filter = {fun logger_filters:domain/2,{stop,starts_with,[beam,erlang,otp,sasl]}}.
logger:add_handler_filter(h1,no_sasl,Filter).
ok</code>

    </func>

    <func>
      <name name="level" arity="2"/>
      <fsummary>Filter log events based on the log level.</fsummary>
      <desc>
	  <p>This filter provides a way of filtering log events based
	    on the log level. It matches log events by comparing the
	    log level with a predefined <c>MatchLevel</c></p>

	  <p>The <c><anno>Extra</anno></c> parameter is specified when
	    adding the filter
	    via <seealso marker="logger#add_logger_filter-2">
	      <c>logger:add_logger_filter/2</c></seealso>
	    or <seealso marker="logger#add_handler_filter-3">
	      <c>logger:add_handler_filter/3</c></seealso>.</p>

	  <p>The filter compares the value of the event's log level
	    (<c>Level</c>) to <c><anno>MatchLevel</anno></c> by
	    calling <seealso marker="logger#compare_levels-2">
	      <c>logger:compare_levels(Level,MatchLevel) -> CmpRet</c></seealso>. It
	    matches the event if:</p>

	  <list>
	    <item><c>CmpRet = eq</c> and <c><anno>Operator</anno> =
		eq | lteq | gteq</c></item>
	    <item><c>CmpRet = lt</c> and <c><anno>Operator</anno> =
		lt | lteq | neq</c></item>
	    <item><c>CmpRet = gt</c> and <c><anno>Operator</anno> =
		gt | gteq | neq</c></item>
	  </list>

          <p>If the filter matches and <c><anno>Action</anno> =
            log</c>, the log event is allowed. If the filter matches
            and <c><anno>Action</anno> = stop</c>, the log event is
            stopped.</p>

	  <p>If the filter does not match, it returns <c>ignore</c>,
	    meaning that other filters, or the value of the
	    configuration parameter <c>filter_default</c>, will decide
	    if the event is allowed or not.</p>

	  <p>Example: only allow debug level log events</p>

	  <code>
logger:set_handler_config(h1,filter_default,stop).
Filter = {fun logger_filters:level/2,{log,eq,debug}}.
logger:add_handler_filter(h1,debug_only,Filter).
ok</code>

    <func>
      <name name="progress" arity="2"/>
      <fsummary>Filter progress reports from supervisor and application_controller.</fsummary>
      <desc>
	  <p>This filter matches all progress reports
	    from <c>supervisor</c> and <c>application_controller</c>.</p>

	  <p>If <c><anno>Extra</anno> = log</c>, the progress reports
	    are allowed. If <c><anno>Extra</anno> = stop</c>, the
	    progress reports are stopped.</p>

	  <p>The filter returns <c>ignore</c> for all other log events.</p>
      </desc>
    </func>

    <func>
      <name name="remote_gl" arity="2"/>
      <fsummary>Filter events with group leader on remote node.</fsummary>
      <desc>
	  <p>This filter matches all events originating from a process
	    that has its group leader on a remote node.</p>

	  <p>If <c><anno>Extra</anno> = log</c>, the matching events
	    are allowed. If <c><anno>Extra</anno> = stop</c>, the
	    matching events are stopped.</p>

	  <p>The filter returns <c>ignore</c> for all other log events.</p>
