Containers

Any PSR-11 container wil work. In order to do that you will need to add configuration and register a new service that points to WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory

Below are some specific container examples to get you started

Pimple

// Create Container
$container = new \Xtreamwayz\Pimple\Container([
    // Logger using the default keys.
    'logger' => new \WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory(),
    
    // Another logger using a different channel configuration
    'other' => function($c) {
        return \WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory::channelTwo($c);
    },

    'config' => [
        'monolog' => [
            'handlers' => [
                // At the bare minimum you must include a default handler config.
                // Otherwise log entries will be sent to the void.
                'default' => [
                    'type' => 'stream',
                    'options' => [
                        'stream' => '/var/log/some-log-file.txt',
                    ],
                ],
                
                // Another Handler
                'myOtherHandler' => [
                    'type' => 'stream',
                    'options' => [
                        'stream' => '/var/log/someother-log-file.txt',
                    ],
                ],
            ],
            
            'channels' => [
                // Configure a second channel
                'channelTwo' => [
                    'name' => 'MyOtherChannel',
                    'handlers' => [
                        'myOtherHandler',
                    ],
                ],    
            ],
        ],
    ],
]);

// Get the default channel

/** @var \Monolog\Logger $defaultChannel */
$defaultChannel = $container->get('logger');

// Write to the default channel
$defaultChannel->debug('Write to log');


// Get the second channel

/** @var \Monolog\Logger $channelTwo */
$channelTwo = $container->get('channelTwo');

// Write to the second channel
$channelTwo->debug('Write to log');

Zend Service Manager

<?php
// Create the container and define the services you'd like to use
$container = new \Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManager([
    'factories' => [
        // Logger using the default keys.
        'logger' => \WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory::class,
        
        // Another logger using a different channel configuration
        'channelTwo' => [\WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory::class, 'channelTwo']
    ]
]);

$container->setService(
    'config',
    [
        'monolog' => [
            'handlers' => [
                // At the bare minimum you must include a default handler config.
                // Otherwise log entries will be sent to the void.
                'default' => [
                    'type' => 'stream',
                    'options' => [
                        'stream' => '/var/log/some-log-file.txt',
                    ],
                ],
                
                // Another Handler
                'myOtherHandler' => [
                    'type' => 'stream',
                    'options' => [
                        'stream' => '/var/log/someother-log-file.txt',
                    ],
                ],
            ],
            
            'channels' => [
                // Configure a second channel
                'channelTwo' => [
                    'name' => 'MyOtherChannel',
                    'handlers' => [
                        'myOtherHandler',
                    ],
                ],    
            ],
        ],
    ]
);

// Get the default channel

/** @var \Monolog\Logger $defaultChannel */
$defaultChannel = $container->get('logger');

// Write to the default channel
$defaultChannel->debug('Write to log');


// Get the second channel

/** @var \Monolog\Logger $channelTwo */
$channelTwo = $container->get('channelTwo');

// Write to the second channel
$channelTwo->debug('Write to log');

Frameworks

Any framework that use a PSR-11 should work fine. Below are some specific framework examples to get you started

Zend Expressive

You'll need to add configuration and register the services you'd like to use. There are number of ways to do that but the recommended way is to create a new config file config/autoload/monolog.global.php

Configuration

config/autoload/monolog.global.php

<?php
return [
    'dependencies' => [
        'factories' => [
            // Logger using the default keys.
            'logger' => \WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory::class,
            
            // Another logger using a different channel configuration
            'channelTwo' => [\WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory::class, 'channelTwo']
        ]
    ],
    
    'monolog' => [
        'handlers' => [
            // At the bare minimum you must include a default handler config.
            // Otherwise log entries will be sent to the void.
            'default' => [
                'type' => 'stream',
                'options' => [
                    'stream' => '/var/log/some-log-file.txt',
                ],
            ],
            
            // Another Handler
            'myOtherHandler' => [
                'type' => 'stream',
                'options' => [
                    'stream' => '/var/log/someother-log-file.txt',
                ],
            ],
        ],
        
        'channels' => [
            // Configure a second channel
            'channelTwo' => [
                'name' => 'MyOtherChannel',
                'handlers' => [
                    'myOtherHandler',
                ],
            ],    
        ],
    ],
];

Zend Framework 3

You'll need to add configuration and register the services you'd like to use. There are number of ways to do that but the recommended way is to create a new config file config/autoload/monolog.global.php

Configuration

config/autoload/monolog.global.php

<?php
return [
    'service_manager' => [
        'factories' => [
            // Logger using the default keys.
            'logger' => \WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory::class,
            
            // Another logger using a different channel configuration
            'channelTwo' => [\WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory::class, 'channelTwo']
        ]
    ],
    
    'monolog' => [
        'handlers' => [
            // At the bare minimum you must include a default handler config.
            // Otherwise log entries will be sent to the void.
            'default' => [
                'type' => 'stream',
                'options' => [
                    'stream' => '/var/log/some-log-file.txt',
                ],
            ],
            
            // Another Handler
            'myOtherHandler' => [
                'type' => 'stream',
                'options' => [
                    'stream' => '/var/log/someother-log-file.txt',
                ],
            ],
        ],
        
        'channels' => [
            // Configure a second channel
            'channelTwo' => [
                'name' => 'MyOtherChannel',
                'handlers' => [
                    'myOtherHandler',
                ],
            ],    
        ],
    ],
];

Module Config

If you're not using the Zend Component Installer you will also need to register the Module.

config/modules.config.php (ZF 3 skeleton)

<?php

return [
    // ... Previously registered modules here
    'WShafer\\PSR11MonoLog',
];

config/application.config.php (ZF 2 skeleton)

<?php

return [
    'modules' => [
        // ... Previously registered modules here
        'WShafer\\PSR11MonoLog',
    ]
];

Configuration

Monolog uses four types of services that will each need to be configured for your application. In addition you will need to create a named service that maps to the \WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory based on the container you are using.

  • Named Services : These are services names wired up to a factory. The configuration will differ based on the type of container / framework in use.

  • Channels : Channels are a great way to identify to which part of the application a record is related. This is useful in big applications and is leveraged here.

    Picture two loggers sharing a handler that writes to a single log file. Channels allow you to identify the logger that issued every record. You can easily grep through the log files filtering this or that channel.

  • Handlers : These services do all the heavy lifting and log your message to the wired up system. There are many different handlers available to you, but he one you will most likely want to use for basic file logging is the StreamHandler. Tip: You can use the same handler for multiple channels.

  • Formatters : (Optional) Formatters are in charge of formatting the message for the handler. Generally you can use the defualt formatter for the handler you are using, in some circumstances you may however want to change the formatting of the message. Configuring a formatter will let you customize the message being sent to the log.

  • Processors : (Optional) Processors can be used to add data, change the message, filter, you name it. Monolog provides some built-in processors that can be used in your project. Look at the Processors section for the list.

Minimal Configuration

A minimal configuration would consist of at least one default handler and one named service. Please note that if you don't specify a default handler a NullHandler will be used when you wire up the default logger.

Minimal Example (using Zend Expressive for the example):

<?php

return [
    'dependencies' => [
        'factories' => [
            // Logger using the default keys.
            'logger' => \WShafer\PSR11MonoLog\MonologFactory::class,
        ]
    ],
    
    'monolog' => [
        'handlers' => [
            'default' => [
                'type' => 'stream',
                'options' => [
                    'stream' => '/var/log/some-log-file.txt',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

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.

<?php

return [
    'monolog' => [
        'handlers' => [
            'myHandlerName' => [
                'type' => 'fingersCrossed',
                'options' => [
                    'handler'            => 'my-handler', // Required: Registered Handler to wrap
                    'activationStrategy' => 'my-service', // Optional: Strategy which determines when this handler takes action.  Must be either the error level or configured ActivationStrategyInterface service
                    'bufferSize'         => 0,            // Optional: How many entries should be buffered at most, beyond that the oldest items are removed from the buffer.
                    'bubble'             => true,         // Optional: Whether the messages that are handled can bubble up the stack or not
                    'stopBuffering'      => true,         // Optional: Whether the handler should stop buffering after being triggered (default true)

            ],
        ],
    ],

DeduplicationHandler

Useful if you are sending notifications or emails when critical errors occur. It takes a logger as parameter and will accumulate log records of all levels until the end of the request (or flush() is called). At that point it delivers all records to the handler it wraps, but only if the records are unique over a given time period (60 seconds by default). If the records are duplicates they are simply discarded. The main use of this is in case of critical failure like if your database is unreachable for example all your requests will fail and that can result in a lot of notifications being sent. Adding this handler reduces the amount of notifications to a manageable level.

<?php

return [
    'monolog' => [
        'handlers' => [
            'myHandlerName' => [

                    'deduplicationStore' => '/tmp/somestore',       // Optional: The file/path where the deduplication log should be kept
                    'deduplicationLevel' => \Monolog\Logger::ERROR, // Optional:The minimum logging level for log records to be looked at for deduplication purposes
                    'time'               => 60,                     // Optional: The period (in seconds) during which duplicate entries should be suppressed after a given log is sent through
                    'bubble'             => true,                   // Optional: Whether the messages that are handled can bubble up the stack or not

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.

SamplingHandler

A sampled event stream can be useful for logging high frequency events in a production environment where you only need an idea of what is happening and are not concerned with capturing every occurrence. Since the decision to handle or not handle a particular event is determined randomly, the resulting sampled log is not guaranteed to contain 1/N of the events that occurred in the application, but based on the Law of large numbers, it will tend to be close to this ratio with a large number of attempts.

<?php

return [
    'monolog' => [
        'handlers' => [
            'myHandlerName' => [

Upgrades

Version 2 to Version 3

Version 3 upgrade the Monolog package from version 1 to version 2. This has many breaking changes with it. Please see the UPGRADE.md for a list changes upstream.

This package also now requires PHP 7.2.

Version 1 to Version 2

When upgrading from version 1 to version 2, there shouldn't be any changes needed. Please note that using the ChannelChanger directly is no longer recommended. Named services should be used instead. See above for more info.

Changes
  • A "default" channel entry and handler is added automatically to the config. This default channel requires you to either specify a configured handler for the channel OR there must be a 'default' channel configured in order to use it. Most Version 1 users should not have an issue with this change and the factories should still function normally.
