[![Tests](https://github.com/app-insights-php/monolog-handler/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg?branch=1.x)](https://github.com/app-insights-php/monolog-handler/actions/workflows/tests.yml) ### Long running processes [](#long-running-processes) It might be tricky to find a proper moment to flush everything to AppInsights for long running processes (e.g: consumers). One of the solution might be a [Buffer Handler](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog/blob/master/src/Monolog/Handler/BufferHandler.php). You can easily wrap both handlers by Buffer Handler and set up an overflow buffer. They are designed to flush everything into AppInsight's when a buffer overflows. ### Limitations [](#limitations) Size of the telemetry is limited to [64 kilobytes](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/service-limits#application-insights). Handlers checks the length of the telemetry before adding it to the AppInsights Client's queue. If it exceeds the limit **it won't be added!** It means that AppInsights should not be the only source for your data. You should always have a copy somewhere else where you don't have such limitations. ### Usage example in Laravel: [](#usage-example-in-laravel) 1. Update config/logging.php with a new entry: ``` 'appinsights' => [ 'driver' => 'monolog', 'level' => 'debug', 'handler' => \AppInsightsPHP\Monolog\Handler\AppInsightsTraceHandler::class, 'formatter' => \AppInsightsPHP\Monolog\Formatter\ContextFlatterFormatter::class ], ``` 2. Register a new service provider ``` php artisan make:provider AppInsightsLogProvider ``` 2.1 Register servicer provider dependencies for the log handler in the `boot()` method. ``` /** * Bootstrap services. * * @return void */ public function boot() { $this->app->bind( AppInsightsTraceHandler::class, function ($app) { $telemetryClient = new \ApplicationInsights\Telemetry_Client(); $context = $telemetryClient->getContext(); $context->setInstrumentationKey(env('APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY')); /** @var CacheManager $cacheManager */ $failureCache = new FailureCache(Cache::repository(new NullStore())); /** @var Logger $defaultLogger */ $defaultLogger = Log::getFacadeRoot(); $client = new Client($telemetryClient, Configuration::createDefault(), $failureCache, $defaultLogger); $handler = new AppInsightsTraceHandler($client); return $handler; } ); ``` ### Health Score 36 — LowBetter than 79% of packages Maintenance0 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity40 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community18 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity71 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
