A reusable logging library for Craft CMS plugins that provides consistent logging, dedicated log files, and a built-in log viewer interface.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Dedicated Log Files** — each plugin gets its own daily log files in `storage/logs/`
- **Built-in Log Viewer** — web interface for viewing, filtering, searching, and downloading logs
- **Standalone System Log Viewer** — browse all Craft, plugin, and PHP logs from one interface
- **Runtime Logs** — cache-backed view of recent log activity for edge/ephemeral hosting where log files don't persist
- **Control Panel Section** — access the standalone viewer from **Logging Library → All Logs** when the CP section is enabled
- **Control Panel Settings** — display name, menu visibility, entries-per-page, and timestamp format, all overridable from `config/logging-library.php`
- **LoggingTrait** — drop-in trait with `logInfo()`, `logWarning()`, `logError()`, `logDebug()`
- **LoggingService API** — direct logging, log statistics, recent entries, and cleanup
- **High Performance Caching** — indexed file-based cache for large log viewer pages, with ArrayQuery compatibility for API callers
- **Multi-Format Parsing** — automatically detects plugin, Craft CMS, and PHP error log formats
- **Edge Detection** — auto-disables the file-based log viewer on edge/CDN platforms like Servd
- **Monolog Integration** — uses Craft 5's Monolog system with proper PSR-3 standards
- **Configurable** — customizable log levels, retention, permissions, and sidebar menus

On platforms like Servd, Logging Library does not import the host's centralized log feed into Craft. The file-based CP viewer reads local `storage/logs/` files only; Servd-collected logs remain available in the Servd dashboard and any connected external logging service. For recent-activity visibility in the CP on those platforms, enable the cache-backed **Runtime Logs** view.
