My configuration file...
# for now we'll just define one level of capture at the top of the
hierarchy.
# This way we can capture everything to this one log and refine
things as we go
log4perl.rootLogger = DEBUG, SYNCER
log4perl.OpenTrade.XSLTOutputFilter = DEBUG, SYNCER
log4perl.OpenTrade.XSLTOutputFilter.detail = FATAL, SYNCER
# Basic file-based log
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE =
Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.filename =
/var/www/web.thebeast.local/logs/handler.log
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.mode = append
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout = PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern = [%d] %C - %m%n
# Make sure each perl thread/child doesn't step on the others via
Synching!
log4perl.appender.SYNCER =
Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized
log4perl.appender.SYNCER.appender = LOGFILE
Relevant section of the manual
Turn off a component
Log4perl doesn't only allow you to selectively switch on a category
of log messages, you can also use the mechanism to selectively disable
logging in certain components whereas logging is kept turned on in
higher-level categories. This mechanism comes in handy if you find that
while bumping up the logging level of a high-level (i. e. close to root)
category, that one component logs more than it should,
Here's how it works:
############################################################
# Turn off logging in a lower-level category while keeping
# it active in higher-level categories.
############################################################
log4perl.rootLogger=debug, LOGFILE
log4perl.logger.deep.down.the.hierarchy = error, LOGFILE
# ... Define appenders ...
This way, log messages issued from within Deep::Down::The::Hierarchy
and below will be logged only if they're error or worse, while in all
other system components even debug messages will be logged.
The problem is, this is a nice theory but its a fiction that the code
actually works this way...
I've also discovered that if you set your rootLogger to say 'INFO' and
lower levels of the heirarchy to 'DEBUG', you NEVER get anything except
'INFO'
level and lower from ANY part of the heirarchy. This seems to be in
direct contradiction of the manual and tutorials.
What gives guys? This just isn't working as advertised.
