Log list: milter manager Reference Manual

## Log list Log list — List of logs by milter manager |

## About this document

This document describes about logs by milter manager.

## Module

Milter manager has 4 modules as followings:

core | This module provides common functionalities used by client, server and manager. This module provides input/output, encode/decode functionalities.
client | This module provides functionalities to implement milter. This module uses core module.
server | This module provides functionalities to implement MTA side milter's communication part. This module uses core module.
manager | This module provides functionalities to implement milter manager. This module uses core, client and server module.

Milter which is implemented with libmilter-client outputs core's log and client's log because it uses client module. Milter manager outputs all modules' log because it uses all modules.

## Level

You can specify multiple log levels if you want to output multiple log level information.

- default: Output critical, error and warning information.

- none: Output nothing.

- critical: Output only critial information.

- error: Output only error information.

- warning: Output only warning information.

- info: Output only additional information.

- debug: Output only debug information.

- statistics: Output only statistics information.

- profile: Output only profile information.

- all: Output all log information.

## Format

Log format is as following:

    [#{session_id}] [#{tag1}][#{tag2}][...] #{message}

"session_id" and "message" may be omitted.

session_id | "session_id" is number. It is unique for each session. Use same "session_id" in same session with cross-module.
tag | Use alphabet, number, hyphen(-) and underbar(_). There is no rule in tag name format.
message | Use any characters.

Example (omit session_id):

    [agent][error][decode] Decode error

This log has tags "agent", "error" and "decode". This log has a message "Decode error".

Example (has session_id):

    [29] [agent][error][decode] Decode error

## Log List

Describe conditions to output logs for each module.

#{level}: [#{tag1}][#{tag2}][...] | #{condition to output this log}

For example,

error: [reader][error][read] | Error occurs while reading.

Output this error level log when error occurs while reading. And it has some tags such as "reader", "error" and "read".
