Subject: Different actions for different levels
It would be great if I could specify in the log file that different things happen for different levels, e.g. warns and above get sent to a file, fatal gets sent to an email (as well as into the file) e.g.: log4perl.logger.bb-links.pl=(WARN, A1) (FATAL, A2) log4perl.appender.A1=Log::Dispatch::File ... log4perl.appender.A2=Log::Dispatch::Email ...

Sending messages of different log levels to separate appenders is well supported in Log4perl. Just define a logger for the lower level, forward its messages to both appenders, and use Log4perl's filters to route them to the correct appender later, like in this example for two different log files: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Log- Log4perl/lib/Log/Log4perl/FAQ.pm#I_want_to_log_ERROR_and_WARN_messages_to _different_files!_How_can_I_do_that?

Thanks for your reply. I think, however, you missed the all important "and above" in my original post. Your FAQ item does not do what I asked for.

Well, it doesn't say so explicitly, but to specify a range instead of a match, you can simply use LevelRange instead of LevelMatch. So, instead of log4perl.filter.MatchError = Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelMatch log4perl.filter.MatchError.LevelToMatch = ERROR as outlined in the FAQ to match 'ERROR', if you want 'ERROR and above', use log4perl.filter.MatchError = Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelRange log4perl.filter.MatchError.LevelMin = ERROR Let me know if this makes sense.

Michael, Thank you for your reply. I tried that, but now nothing gets logged at all. I must have broken and/or misunderstood something. Here's a conf file: log4perl.logger.cb-links.pl=DEBUG, A1, A2 log4perl.appender.A1=Log::Dispatch::File log4perl.appender.A1.Filter=MatchDebug log4perl.appender.A1.filename=/tmp/cb-links.log log4perl.appender.A1.mode=append log4perl.appender.A1.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout log4perl.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p> %F{1}:%L %M - %m%n log4perl.appender.A2=Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSendmail log4perl.appender.A2.Filter=MatchError log4perl.appender.A2.to='njh@bandsman.co.uk' log4perl.appender.A2.subject='Error in cb-links' log4perl.appender.A2.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout log4perl.appender.A2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p> %F{1}:%L %M - %m%n log4perl.filter.MatchDebug=Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelMatch log4perl.filter.MatchDebug.LevelMin=DEBUG log4perl.filter.MatchError=Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelMatch log4perl.filter.MatchError.LevelMin=ERROR And here's the code which calls it: Log::Log4perl->init($info->script_dir . "/../conf/$script_name.l4pconf"); my $logger = Log::Log4perl->get_logger($script_name); ... $logger->debug('testing debug'); $logger->error('testing error); Regards, -Nigel

Almost there. You just need to change Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelMatch to Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelRange as outlined earlier.

Sorry, my bad, just realized that I goofed this up in my earlier post ;).

Yes, that now works - thanks so much. Do you not think it would be helpful for Log::Log4perl to have generated an error in the init() method when I used LevelMatch in conjunction with LevelMin, instead of LevelRange? -Nigel -- Arranger, Adjudicator, Band Trainer and Clinician, Composer, Tutor, Typesetter.

Yes, absolutely, let me put that on my (long) todo list! :).
