Hans-G?nter@24234 1 The Log::Agent module provides an abstract layer for logging and tracing,
Hans-G?nter@24234 2 which is independent from the actual method used to physically perform
Hans-G?nter@24234 3 those activities.
Hans-G?nter@24234 4 It acts as an agent (hence the name) that collects the requests and
Hans-G?nter@24234 5 delegates processing to a sublayer: the logging driver.
Hans-G?nter@24234 6
Hans-G?nter@24234 7 The Log::Agent module is meant to be used in all reusable components,
Hans-G?nter@24234 8 since they cannot know in advance how the application which ends up
Hans-G?nter@24234 9 using them will perform its logging activities: either by emitting
Hans-G?nter@24234 10 messages on stdout and errors on stderr, or by directing messages to
Hans-G?nter@24234 11 logfiles, or by using syslog(3).
Hans-G?nter@24234 12
Hans-G?nter@24234 13 The logging interface is common for all the logging drivers, and is
Hans-G?nter@24234 14 therefore the result of a compromise between many logging schemes:
Hans-G?nter@24234 15 any information given at this level must be either handled by all
Hans-G?nter@24234 16 drivers, or may be ignored depending on the application's final choice.
