[log4perl-devel] log4perl and Log::Dispatch::ApacheLog, debug msgs getting default PatternLayout

[John O. <joh...@o-...>]

Hi folks,

I'm not sure how active this list is (first post) but hopefully someone 
can advise!  I'm seeing messages at 'debug' level getting one 
PatternLayout, but all higher levels get the layout I specify.

In more detail...

(Incidentally I've patched Log::Dispatch::ApacheLog to work with 
mod_perl 2 - sent patch to Dave Rolsky, awaiting response)
I'm seeing problem which looks like it's log4perl related.  I'm doing this:

use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger :levels);
my $s=Apache2::ServerUtil->server();
my $rootlog=get_logger('');
$rootlog->level($DEBUG);
my $appender=Log::Log4perl::Appender->new( "Log::Dispatch::ApacheLog",
           name=>'apache log', min_level=>'debug', apache=>$s
                                    );
$appender->layout(Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout->new('%M - %m'));
$rootlog->add_appender($appender);

The problem is, that normal lines come out like this: (note that Apache 
adds the date/time and level)

"[Tue Jun 13 16:02:21 2006] [info] DataSite::Payment::new - successfully 
loaded WorldPay"
(ie. that is the "%M - %m" layout I've specified)

but debug messages come out like this:

"[Tue Jun 13 16:02:21 2006] [debug] ApacheLog.pm(95): 
Apache2::ScriptSite::authen - entered handler"
(looks like a PatternLayout of "%F(%L): %M - %m")

I have no idea where that layout is coming from!  Apache doesn't do 
anything special I believe.

any help appreciated,
John
