The Log::Agent module provides an abstract layer for logging and tracing, which
|
|
is independant from the actual method used to physically perform those
|
|
activities. It acts as an agent (hence the name) that collects the requests and
|
|
delegates processing to a sublayer: the logging driver.
|
|
|
|
The Log::Agent module is meant to be used in all reusable components, since
|
|
they cannot know in advance how the application which ends up using them will
|
|
perform its logging activities: either by emitting messages on stdout and
|
|
errors on stderr, or by directing messages to logfiles, or by using syslog(3).
|
|
|
|
The logging interface is common for all the logging drivers, and is therefore
|
|
the result of a compromise between many logging schemes: any information given
|
|
at this level must be either handled by all drivers, or may be ignored
|
|
depending on the application's final choice.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SOMEWHAT ALPHA AND COULD STILL CHANGE
|
|
DEPENDING ON THE FEEDBACK THE AUTHOR RECIEVES, WITHOUT ANY BACKWARD
|
|
COMPATIBILITY ASSURANCE.
