Monolog - Logging for PHP 5.3+

Monolog sends your logs to files, sockets, inboxes, databases and various web services. See the complete list of handlers below. Special handlers allow you to build advanced logging strategies.

This library implements the PSR-3 interface that you can type-hint against in your own libraries to keep a maximum of interoperability. You can also use it in your applications to make sure you can always use another compatible logger at a later time. As of 1.11.0 Monolog public APIs will also accept PSR-3 log levels. Internally Monolog still uses its own level scheme since it predates PSR-3.

Usage

Install the latest version with composer require monolog/monolog

Core Concepts

Every Logger instance has a channel (name) and a stack of handlers. Whenever you add a record to the logger, it traverses the handler stack. Each handler decides whether it fully handled the record, and if so, the propagation of the record ends there.

This allows for flexible logging setups, for example having a StreamHandler at the bottom of the stack that will log anything to disk, and on top of that add a MailHandler that will send emails only when an error message is logged. Handlers also have a $bubble property which defines whether they block the record or not if they handled it. In this example, setting the MailHandler's $bubble argument to false means that records handled by the MailHandler will not propagate to the StreamHandler anymore.

You can create many Loggers, each defining a channel (e.g.: db, request, router, ..) and each of them combining various handlers, which can be shared or not. The channel is reflected in the logs and allows you to easily see or filter records.

Each Handler also has a Formatter, a default one with settings that make sense will be created if you don't set one. The formatters normalize and format incoming records so that they can be used by the handlers to output useful information.

Custom severity levels are not available. Only the eight RFC 5424 levels (debug, info, notice, warning, error, critical, alert, emergency) are present for basic filtering purposes, but for sorting and other use cases that would require flexibility, you should add Processors to the Logger that can add extra information (tags, user ip, ..) to the records before they are handled.

Log Levels

Monolog supports the logging levels described by RFC 5424.

• DEBUG (100): Detailed debug information.

• INFO (200): Interesting events. Examples: User logs in, SQL logs.

• NOTICE (250): Normal but significant events.

• WARNING (300): Exceptional occurrences that are not errors. Examples: Use of deprecated APIs, poor use of an API, undesirable things that are not necessarily wrong.

• ERROR (400): Runtime errors that do not require immediate action but should typically be logged and monitored.

• CRITICAL (500): Critical conditions. Example: Application component unavailable, unexpected exception.

• ALERT (550): Action must be taken immediately. Example: Entire website down, database unavailable, etc. This should trigger the SMS alerts and wake you up.

• EMERGENCY (600): Emergency: system is unusable.

Docs

See the doc directory for more detailed documentation. The following is only a list of all parts that come with Monolog.

Handlers

Log to files and syslog

• StreamHandler: Logs records into any PHP stream, use this for log files.
• RotatingFileHandler: Logs records to a file and creates one logfile per day. It will also delete files older than $maxFiles. You should use logrotate for high profile setups though, this is just meant as a quick and dirty solution.
• SyslogHandler: Logs records to the syslog.
• ErrorLogHandler: Logs records to PHP's error_log() function.

Send alerts and emails

• NativeMailerHandler: Sends emails using PHP's mail() function.
• SwiftMailerHandler: Sends emails using a Swift_Mailer instance.
• PushoverHandler: Sends mobile notifications via the Pushover API.
• HipChatHandler: Logs records to a HipChat chat room using its API.
• FlowdockHandler: Logs records to a Flowdock account.
• SlackHandler: Logs records to a Slack account.
• MandrillHandler: Sends emails via the Mandrill API using a Swift_Message instance.
• FleepHookHandler: Logs records to a Fleep conversation using Webhooks.

Log specific servers and networked logging

• SocketHandler: Logs records to sockets, use this for UNIX and TCP sockets. See an example.
• AmqpHandler: Logs records to an amqp compatible server. Requires the php-amqp extension (1.0+).
• GelfHandler: Logs records to a Graylog2 server.
• CubeHandler: Logs records to a Cube server.
• RavenHandler: Logs records to a Sentry server using raven.
• ZendMonitorHandler: Logs records to the Zend Monitor present in Zend Server.
• NewRelicHandler: Logs records to a NewRelic application.
• LogglyHandler: Logs records to a Loggly account.
• RollbarHandler: Logs records to a Rollbar account.
• SyslogUdpHandler: Logs records to a remote Syslogd server.
• LogEntriesHandler: Logs records to a LogEntries account.

Logging in development

• FirePHPHandler: Handler for FirePHP, providing inline console messages within FireBug.
• ChromePHPHandler: Handler for ChromePHP, providing inline console messages within Chrome.
• BrowserConsoleHandler: Handler to send logs to browser's Javascript console with no browser extension required. Most browsers supporting console API are supported.

Log to databases

• RedisHandler: Logs records to a redis server.
• MongoDBHandler: Handler to write records in MongoDB via a Mongo extension connection.
• CouchDBHandler: Logs records to a CouchDB server.
• DoctrineCouchDBHandler: Logs records to a CouchDB server via the Doctrine CouchDB ODM.
• ElasticSearchHandler: Logs records to an Elastic Search server.
• DynamoDbHandler: Logs records to a DynamoDB table with the AWS SDK.

Wrappers / Special Handlers

• FingersCrossedHandler: A very interesting wrapper. It takes a logger as parameter and will accumulate log records of all levels until a record exceeds the defined severity level. At which point it delivers all records, including those of lower severity, to the handler it wraps. This means that until an error actually happens you will not see anything in your logs, but when it happens you will have the full information, including debug and info records. This provides you with all the information you need, but only when you need it.
• WhatFailureGroupHandler: This handler extends the GroupHandler ignoring exceptions raised by each child handler. This allows you to ignore issues where a remote tcp connection may have died but you do not want your entire application to crash and may wish to continue to log to other handlers.
• BufferHandler: This handler will buffer all the log records it receives until close() is called at which point it will call handleBatch() on the handler it wraps with all the log messages at once. This is very useful to send an email with all records at once for example instead of having one mail for every log record.
• GroupHandler: This handler groups other handlers. Every record received is sent to all the handlers it is configured with.
• FilterHandler: This handler only lets records of the given levels through to the wrapped handler.
• SamplingHandler: Wraps around another handler and lets you sample records if you only want to store some of them.
• NullHandler: Any record it can handle will be thrown away. This can be used to put on top of an existing handler stack to disable it temporarily.
• PsrHandler: Can be used to forward log records to an existing PSR-3 logger
• TestHandler: Used for testing, it records everything that is sent to it and has accessors to read out the information.

Formatters

• LineFormatter: Formats a log record into a one-line string.
• HtmlFormatter: Used to format log records into a human readable html table, mainly suitable for emails.
• NormalizerFormatter: Normalizes objects/resources down to strings so a record can easily be serialized/encoded.
• ScalarFormatter: Used to format log records into an associative array of scalar values.
• JsonFormatter: Encodes a log record into json.
• WildfireFormatter: Used to format log records into the Wildfire/FirePHP protocol, only useful for the FirePHPHandler.
• ChromePHPFormatter: Used to format log records into the ChromePHP format, only useful for the ChromePHPHandler.
• GelfMessageFormatter: Used to format log records into Gelf message instances, only useful for the GelfHandler.
• LogstashFormatter: Used to format log records into logstash event json, useful for any handler listed under inputs here.
• ElasticaFormatter: Used to format log records into an Elastica\Document object, only useful for the ElasticSearchHandler.
• LogglyFormatter: Used to format log records into Loggly messages, only useful for the LogglyHandler.
• FlowdockFormatter: Used to format log records into Flowdock messages, only useful for the FlowdockHandler.
• MongoDBFormatter: Converts \DateTime instances to \MongoDate and objects recursively to arrays, only useful with the MongoDBHandler.

Processors

• GitProcessor: Adds the current git branch and commit to a log record.
• TagProcessor: Adds an array of predefined tags to a log record.

Utilities

• Registry: The Monolog\Registry class lets you configure global loggers that you can then statically access from anywhere. It is not really a best practice but can help in some older codebases or for ease of use.
• ErrorHandler: The Monolog\ErrorHandler class allows you to easily register a Logger instance as an exception handler, error handler or fatal error handler.
• ErrorLevelActivationStrategy: Activates a FingersCrossedHandler when a certain log level is reached.
• ChannelLevelActivationStrategy: Activates a FingersCrossedHandler when a certain log level is reached, depending on which channel received the log record.
