Log::Agent::Tag::Callback - a dynamic tag string
require Log::Agent::Tag::Callback; # Inherits from Log::Agent::Tag. my $tag = Log::Agent::Tag::Callback->make( -name => "session id", -callback => Callback->new($obj, 'method', @args), -postfix => 1, -separator => " -- ", );
This class represents a dynamic tag string, whose value is determined by invoking a pre-determined callback, which is described by a Callback object.
Callback
You need to make your application depend on the Callback module from CPAN if you make use of this tagging feature, since Log::Agent does not depend on it, on purpose (it does not really use it, it only offers an interface to plug it in). At least version 1.02 must be used.
Log::Agent
The following parameters are defined, in alphabetical order:
-callback
The callback to invoke to determine the value of the tag. The call is protected via a busy flag, in case there is an unwanted recursion due to a call to one of the logging routines whilst within the callback.
If the callback is busy, the tag emitted is:
callback "user" busy
assuming user is the name you supplied via -name for this tag.
user
-name
The name of this tag. Used to flag a callback as busy in case there is an unwanted recursion into the callback routine.
-postfix
Whether tag should be placed after or before the log message. By default, it is prepended to the log message, i.e. this parameter is false.
-separator
The separation string between the tag and the log message. A single space by default.
