Logger

SYNOPSIS

  $kitchen_log = new Logger();

  $kitchen_log->set('warn');  # Can be set via web, telnet, voice, etc.

  $kitchen_log->fatal('print a fatal msg');     # prints
  $kitchen_log->error('print an error msg');    # prints
  $kitchen_log->warn('print a warning msg');    # prints
  $kitchen_log->info('print an info msg');      # does not print
  $kitchen_log->debug('print a debug msg');     # does not print

  $tmp =~ s/(_logger|_log)$//i;
  &main::print_log( $tmp . ' [' . $level . '] ' . $msg );
