Mail::SpamAssassin::LoUser(Contributed Perl DocumMail::SpamAssassin::Logger(3)NAMEMail::SpamAssassin::Logger - SpamAssassin logging module
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::SpamAssassin::Logger;
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub {
log_message("warn", $_[0]);
};
$SIG{__DIE__} = sub {
log_message("error", $_[0]) if $_[0] !~ /\bin eval\b/;
};
METHODSadd_facilities(facilities)
Enable debug logging for specific facilities. Each facility is the
area of code to debug. Facilities can be specified as a hash ref‐
erence (the key names are used), an array reference, an array, or a
comma-separated scalar string.
If "all" is listed, then all debug facilities are enabled. Higher
priority informational messages that are suitable for logging in
normal circumstances are available with an area of "info". Some
very verbose messages require the facility to be specifically
enabled (see "would_log" below).
log_message($level, $message)
log_message($level, @message)
Log a message at a specific level. Levels are specified as
strings: "warn", "error", "info", and "dbg". The first element of
the message must be prefixed with a facility name followed directly
by a colon.
dbg("facility: message")
This is used for all low priority debugging messages.
info("facility: message")
This is used for informational messages indicating a normal, but
significant, condition. This should be infrequently called. These
messages are typically logged when SpamAssassin is run as a daemon.
add(method => 'syslog', socket => $socket, facility => $facility)
"socket" is the type the syslog ("unix" or "inet"). "facility" is
the syslog facility (typically "mail").
add(method => 'file', filename => $file)
"filename" is the name of the log file.
add(method => 'stderr')
No options are needed for stderr logging, just don't close stderr
first.
remove(method)
Remove a logging method. Only the method name needs to be passed
as a scalar.
would_log($level, $facility)
Returns 0 if a message at the given level and with the given facil‐
ity would be logged. Returns 1 if a message at a given level and
facility would be logged normally. Returns 2 if the facility was
specifically enabled.
The facility argument is optional.
close_log()
Close all logs.
