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)

The minimum log level can be set three ways, highest precedence first:

1. **PHP constant** in `civicrm.settings.php`: `define('CIVICRM_CONTAINER_LOGS_LEVEL', 'warning');`
2. **Environment variable** (recommended for containerised deployments): `CIVICRM_CONTAINER_LOGS_LEVEL=warning` — picked up natively by CiviCRM's `SettingsManager` because the setting metadata declares `is_env_loadable: TRUE`, `global_name: 'CIVICRM_CONTAINER_LOGS_LEVEL'`.
3. **`$civicrm_setting` in `civicrm.settings.php`**: `$civicrm_setting['domain']['container_logs_level'] = 'warning';`

The setting is declared `is_constant: TRUE`, so attempts to write via `Civi::settings()->set(...)` / the API / the admin UI are rejected with a helpful error pointing to the three supported sources above.

Default: `debug` (everything passes through).

Accepted values are any Monolog level name (see [`\Monolog\Level`](https://seldaek.github.io/monolog/doc/01-usage.html#log-levels); values from [RFC 5424](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5424)):

- **DEBUG (100)**, **INFO (200)**, **NOTICE (250)**, **WARNING (300)**,
- **ERROR (400)**, **CRITICAL (500)**, **ALERT (550)**, **EMERGENCY (600)**.

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

[](#requirements)

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