lib: Add event API
The events are hierarchical and the child events inherit the parents'
fields. The events will be attached to "objects", which gives them some
context. For example each mail user, mailbox and mail will have its own
event. The events can also have a log prefix, so logging events to e.g.
mail will always log a consistent prefix that identifies which mail is
being logged about.
The events will also be used for statistics. Typically this is done by
logging a debug event, which contains fields that are interesting for
statistics. The interesting events will have a name, which can be used
to identify them when configuring which statistics are wanted to be
tracked. It's possible to also track events that have no name, but that
requires using the source code's filename:line as the event name. That
of course may change between releases, so it's not very reliable. |
