=head1 NAME
Konstrukt::Plugin::log - Konstrukt logging facilities.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
<!-- add a log entry.
key1-5 are optional. -->
<& log
action="put"
type="login"
description="user 'foo' logged in"
key1="some additional info"
key2="some additional info"
key3="some additional info"
key4="some additional info"
key5="some additional info"
/ &>
<!-- display log entries -->
<& log
type="log type"
keycount="number of additional keys to display"
orderby="column"
limit="42"
/ &>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module allows for logging to a given backend (like a DBI database).
Each log entry has an automatically generated timestamp and client address,
a type, which may be used to identify several loggin sources (plugin name, etc.),
a human readable description and 5 additional keys which may be up to 255 chars
long each and can be used as needed.
The perl-interface looks like this:
my $log = use_plugin 'log';
#add entry. the keys are optional
$log->put("type", "description", "key1", "key2", "key3", "key4", "key5");
#retrieve log entries of type "type" and order them by key2, key1 and key3.
my $entries = $log->get("type", "key2, key1, key3");
#$entries is an array reference to hash-references:
#$entries =
[
{ year => 1234, month => 12, day => 12, hour => 12, minute => 12,
host => '192.168.0.1',
type => "type",
description => "description",
key1 => "key 1", key2 = "..." ... },
...
]
print $entries->[3]->{description}
The Konstrukt-interface looks like this:
<!-- add a new entry -->
<& log action="put" type="type" description="some log entry" key1="key 1 value" key2="..." / &>
<!-- print out a list in template-syntax. (default action)
The type attribute determines the type of the log entries to show.
If not defined, all types will be shown.
The keycount attribute determines how many keys are used in the log entries.
The orderby and limit attributes will be passed as-is to the DBI query. -->
<& log type="type" keycount="3" orderby="key2, key1, key3" key1_name="foo" key2_name="bar" key3_name="baz" limit="20" / &>
<!-- note: you may also order by the column "timestamp" -->
=head1 CONFIGURATION
You have to do some configuration in your konstrukt.settings to let the
plugin know where to get its data and which layout to use. Defaults:
#log
log/use 0
log/backend DBI
log/template_path /templates/log/ #path to the log templates
log/sendmail #send mails to this account (user@host.tld) for each new log entry
log/sendmail_ignore #space separated list of stings. if the subject or content of
#a message contains any of these strings, no mail will be sent.
#note that a substring match will be made: 'usermanagement' will
#block 'usermanagement::basic' as well as 'confusermanagement::foo'.
#to match a string with whitespaces, put it into doublequotes.
#access control
log/userlevel_view 1 #userlevel to view the logs
log/userlevel_clear 2 #userlevel to clear the logs
Mails will be sent through L<Konstrukt::Lib/mail>.
See the documentation of the backend modules
(e.g. L<Konstrukt::Plugin::usermanagement::basic::DBI/CONFIGURATION>) for their configuration.

=head1 METHODS
=head2 execute_again
Yes, this plugin may return dynamic nodes (i.e. template nodes).
=cut
sub execute_again {
return 1;
}
#= /execute_again
=head2 init
Initializes this object. Sets $self->{backend} and $self->{layout_path}.
init will be called by the constructor.
=cut
sub init {
my ($self) = @_;
#set default settings
$Konstrukt::Settings->default("log/use" => 1);

#= /init
=head2 install
Installs the templates.
B<Parameters:>
none
=cut

=head2 prepare
We cannot prepare anything as the input data may be different on each
request. The result is completely dynamic.

All the work is done in the execute step.
