NAME

    Clustericious::Log - A Log::Log4perl wrapper for use with
    Clustericious.

VERSION

    version 0.15

SYNOPSIS

     use Clustericious::Log -init_logging => "appname";
    
     use Clustericious::Log;
     INFO "Hi there!";

DESCRIPTION

    This is a simple wrapper around Log::Log4perl for use with
    Clustericious. It handles initialization and exporting of convenient
    logging functions, and a default set of logging patterns. It also makes
    the name of the application available for logging patterns (see the
    example).

EXAMPLE

    Here is a sample ~/etc/log4perl.conf :

     log4perl.rootLogger=TRACE, LOGFILE
     log4perl.appender.LOGFILE=Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
     log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.filename=/tmp/some.log
     log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.mode=append
     log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout=PatternLayout
     log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d{HH:mm:ss}] [%8.8Z] %C (%F{1}+%L) %5p: %m%n
     # Note 'Z' is the name of the Clustericious application.

METHODS

    init_logging

      Start logging. Looks for log4perl.conf or $app.log4perl.conf in
      ~/etc, /util/etc and /etc.

    tail

      Returns a string with the last $n lines of the logfile.

      If multiple log files are defined, it only uses the first one
      alphabetically.

ENVIRONMENT

    The following variables affect logging :

     LOG_LEVEL
     LOG_FILE
     MOJO_APP

NOTES

    This is a beta release, the API may change without notice.
