Log::Fine::Formatter - Log message formatting and sanitization
Provides a formatting facility for log messages
use Log::Fine::Handle; use Log::Fine::Formatter; my $handle = Log::Fine::Handle::Console->new(); my $formatter = Log::Fine::Formatter::Detailed->new( timestamp_format => "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" ); # By default, the handle will set its formatter to # Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic. If that's not what you want, set # it to preference. $handle->formatter($formatter); # Set the time-stamp to "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" $formatter->timeStamp("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"); # High resolution timestamps with milliseconds are # supported thus: my $hires_formatter = Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic->new( hires => 1, timestamp_format => "%H:%M:%S.%%millis%%", ); # Set the precision of the high resolution formatter my $fmtr = Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic->new( hires => 1, timestamp_format => "%H:%M:%S.%%millis%%", precision => 6 );
Base ancestral class for all formatters. All customized formatters must inherit from this class. The formatter class allows developers to adjust the time-stamp in a log message to a customizable strftime-compatible string without the tedious mucking about writing a formatter sub-class. By default, the time-stamp format is "%c". See "timeStamp" and the strftime(3) man page on your system for further details.
High Resolution time stamps are generated using the Time::HiRes module. Depending on your distribution of perl, this may or may not be installed. Add the string "%%millis%%" (without the quotes) where you would like milliseconds displayed within your format. For example:
$formatter->timeStamp("%H:%M:%S.%%millis%%");
Note you must enable high resolution mode during Formatter construction as so:
my $formatter = Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic->new( hires => 1 );
By default, the time-stamp format for high resolution mode is "%H:%M:%S.%%millis%%". This can be changed via the "timeStamp" method or set during formatter construction. "%%millis%%" is a case insensitive value, thus "%%MILLIS%%" will work as well as "%%Millis%%".
Millisecond precision can be set on construction as so:
my $formatter = Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic->new( hires => 1, precision => 6 );
If not set, the default value of 5 will be used. Note that the precision hash element will be ignored unless hires is set.
As of version 0.37, Log::Fine now supports log format templates. See Log::Fine::Formatter::Template for details.
Returns the formatted message. Must be sub-classed!
