NAME

Log::Handler::Output::DBI - Log messages to a database.

SYNOPSIS

     use Log::Handler::Output::DBI;
 
     my $db = Log::Handler::Output::DBI->new(
         # database source
         database    => "database",
         driver      => "mysql",
         host        => "127.0.0.1",
         port        => 3306,
 
         # or with "dbname" instead of "database"
         dbname      => "database",
         driver      => "Pg",
         host        => "127.0.0.1",
         port        => 5432,
 
         # or with data_source
         data_source => "dbi:mysql:database=database;host=127.0.0.1;port=3306",
 
         # Username and password
         user        => "user",
         password    => "password",
 
         # debugging
         debug       => 1,
 
         # table, columns and values (as string)
         table       => "messages",
         columns     => "level ctime cdate pid hostname progname message",
         values      => "%level %time %date %pid %hostname %progname %message",
 
         # table, columns and values (as array reference)
         table       => "messages",
         columns     => [ qw/level ctime cdate pid hostname progname message/ ],
         values      => [ qw/%level %time %date %pid %hostname %progname %message/ ],
 
         # table, columns and values (your own statement)
         statement   => "insert into messages (level,ctime,cdate,pid,hostname,progname,message) values (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)",
         values      => [ qw/%level %time %date %pid %hostname %progname %message/ ],
 
         # if you like persistent connections and want to re-connect
         persistent  => 1,
     );
 
     my %message = (
         level       => "ERROR",
         time        => "10:12:13",
         date        => "1999-12-12",
         pid         => $$,
         hostname    => "localhost",
         progname    => $0,
         message     => "an error here"
     );
 
     $db->log(\%message);
 
 

DESCRIPTION

With this output you can insert messages into a database table.

METHODS

new()

Call "new()" to create a new Log::Handler::Output::DBI object.

The following options are possible:

data_source
Set the dsn (data source name).

You can use this parameter instead of "database", "driver", "host" and "port".

database or dbname
Pass the database name.
driver
Pass the database driver.
host
Pass the hostname where the database is running.
port
Pass the port where the database is listened.
user
Pass the database user for the connect.
password
Pass the users password.
table and columns
With this options you can pass the table name for the insert and the columns. You can pass the columns as string or as array. Example:
     # the table name
     table => "messages",
 
     # columns as string
     columns => "level, ctime, cdate, pid, hostname, progname, message",
 
     # columns as array
     columns => [ qw/level ctime cdate pid hostname progname message/ ],
 
 

The statement would created as follows

     insert into message (level, ctime, cdate, pid, hostname, progname, mtime, message)
                  values (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)
 
 
statement
With this option you can pass your own statement if you don't want to you the options "table" and "columns".
     statement => "insert into message (level, ctime, cdate, pid, hostname, progname, mtime, message)"
                  ." values (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)"
 
 
values
With this option you have to set the values for the insert.
         values => "%level, %time, %date, %pid, %hostname, %progname, %message",
 
         # or
 
         values => [ qw/%level %time %date %pid %hostname %progname %message/ ],
 
 

The placeholders are identical with the pattern names that you have to pass with the option "message_pattern" from Log::Handler.

     %L   level
     %T   time
     %D   date
     %P   pid
     %H   hostname
     %N   newline
     %C   caller
     %p   package
     %f   filename
     %l   line
     %s   subroutine
     %S   progname
     %r   runtime
     %t   mtime
     %m   message
 
 

Take a look to the documentation of Log::Handler for all possible patterns.

persistent
With this option you can enable or disable a persistent database connection and re-connect if the connection was lost.

This option is set to 1 on default.

dbi_params
This option is useful if you want to pass arguments to DBI. The default is set to
     {
         PrintError => 0,
         AutoCommit => 1
     }
 
 

"PrintError" is deactivated because this would print error messages as warnings to STDERR.

You can pass your own arguments - and overwrite it - with

     dbi_params => { PrintError => 1, AutoCommit => 0 }
 
 
debug
With this option it's possible to enable debugging. The information can be intercepted with $SIG{__WARN__}.

         columns    => [ qw/level ctime message/ ],
         values     => [ qw/%level %time %message/ ],
         persistent => 1,
     );
 
     $db->log(
         message => "your message",
