CiviCRM Extension: Container Logging
====================================

[](#civicrm-extension-container-logging)

This extension replaces the default CiviCRM log channels to send all logs to `stderr` (currently). This is especially useful when running CiviCRM inside a Docker container, as it allows logs to be consolidated and managed by the container runtime.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Redirects all CiviCRM logs to `stderr`
- Simplifies log management in containerized environments

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Install the extension in your CiviCRM installation.
2. Enable the extension from the CiviCRM admin interface.
3. Logs will now appear in the container's standard error output.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Log Level Configuration

[](#log-level-configuration)

You can control the minimum log level emitted by this extension using the `CIVICRM_CONTAINER_LOGS_LEVEL` constant. Set this constant in your environment or configuration to filter logs according to severity. The log level defaults to `debug`;

This constant accepts any value supported by [`\Monolog\Level`](https://seldaek.github.io/monolog/doc/01-usage.html#log-levels). Monolog supports the logging levels described by [RFC 5424](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5424).

- **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.

**Example usage:**

```
define('CIVICRM_CONTAINER_LOGS_LEVEL', 'warning');
```

This will ensure only warnings and more severe messages are logged.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP8.1 or newer
- CiviCRM installation
- Docker container environment (recommended)
