=head1 NAME

Dancer2::Logger::LogReport - reroute Dancer2 logs into Log::Report

=head1 INHERITANCE

 Dancer2::Logger::LogReport
   is a Moo::Object

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # This module is loaded when configured.  It does not provide
  # end-user functions or methods.

  # See DETAILS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

[The Dancer2 plugin was contributed by Andrew Beverley]

This logger allows the use of the many logging backends available
in L<Log::Report|Log::Report>.  It will process all of the Dancer2 log messages,
and also allow any other module to use the same logging facilities. The
same log messages can be sent to multiple destinations at the same time
via flexible dispatchers.

If using this logger, you may also want to use
L<Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport|Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport>

Many log back-ends, like syslog, have more levels of system messages.
Modules who explicitly load this module can use the missing C<assert>,
C<notice>, C<panic>, and C<alert> log levels.  The C<trace> name is
provided as well: when you are debugging, you add a 'trace' to your
program... it's just a better name than 'debug'. You will need to load
Log::Report in order to use the additional levels; if doing so directly within
a Dancer2 application (not a sub-module), then you will either need to load
Log::Report with C<syntax, 'LONG'> or use L<Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport|Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport> to
prevent namespace clashes.

=head2 Log Format

If using this module on its own (such as a drop-in replacement for
Dancer2::Logger::Syslog), then the logging format is configured as with any
other Dancer logger. If using this module with L<Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport|Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport>,
then log_format is ignored and messages are not formatted, in order to keep the
message format consistent regardless of where the message was generated (be it
another module using Log::Report, the plugin, or Dancer itself). In this case,
the log format should be configured using the applicable dispatcher (such as
L<Log::Report::Dispatcher::Syslog::new(format)|Log::Report::Dispatcher::Syslog/"Constructors">).
    
If also using with the L<Log::Report> logging functions, then you probably want
to set a very simple C<logger_format>, because the dispatchers do already add
some of the fields that the default C<simple> format adds.  For instance, to
get the filename/line-number in messages depends on the dispatcher 'mode' (f.i.
'DEBUG').

You also want to set the Dancer2 log level to C<debug>, because level filtering
is controlled per dispatcher (as well).

See L<Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport/"DETAILS"> for examples.
