FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

CakePHP Monolog Plugin (Addtion Datadog processor)

Despite the very advanced logging system offered in CakePHP, I still would have had to write a lot more code to be able to handle logs the way I needed. To write the least code possible, I chose to go with the popular monolog library.

DatadogProcessor append Datadog APM Trace ID and Span ID. This processor append the identifiers to all the log messages automatically. See: https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/advanced/connect_logs_and_traces/?tab=php

Install

Because monolog is a composer package and to avoid having to manually write a lot of includes (vs. auto-loading), I decided to release this also as a composer package and take advantage of the auto-loading magic.

First, add this plugin as a requirement to your composer.json

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/SNakano/cakephp-monolog"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "snakano/monolog": "dev-master"
    }
}

And then update:

php composer.phar update

That's it! You should now be ready to start configuring your channels.

Configuration

Start by creating a logging configuration file (i.e. app/Config/log.php) that you will include early in your app/Config/bootstrap.php:

A basic configuration, to replicate what Cake does but using Monolog (to give you a good starting example), would look something like this:

Note that with CakePHP versions < 2.4 the engine name should instead be Monolog.MonologLog.

Simple, no? But let's really do some serious logging, otherwise why bother moving away from the default CakePHP logging system?

The example below shows how to setup:
