To write the least code possible, I chose to go with the popular monolog library. `DatadogProcessor` append Datadog APM Trace ID and Span ID. This processor append the identifiers to all the log messages automatically. See: [https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/advanced/connect\_logs\_and\_traces/?tab=php](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/advanced/connect_logs_and_traces/?tab=php) Install ------- [](#install) Because [monolog](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog) is a [composer](http://getcomposer.org) [package](https://packagist.org/packages/monolog/monolog) and to avoid having to manually write a lot of includes (vs. auto-loading), I decided to release this also as a composer package and take advantage of the auto-loading magic. First, add this plugin as a requirement to your `composer.json` ``` { "repositories": [ { "type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/SNakano/cakephp-monolog" } ], "require": { "snakano/monolog": "dev-master" } } ``` And then update: ``` php composer.phar update ``` That's it! You should now be ready to start configuring your channels. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Start by creating a logging configuration file (i.e. `app/Config/log.php`) that you will include early in your `app/Config/bootstrap.php`: ``` include 'log.php'; ``` A basic configuration, to replicate what Cake does but using Monolog (to give you a good starting example), would look something like this: ``` require VENDORS . 'autoload.php'; App::build([ 'Plugin' => [ROOT . DS . 'Plugin' . DS] ]); CakePlugin::load('Monolog'); CakeLog::config('debug', array( 'engine' => 'Monolog.Monolog', 'channel' => 'app', 'handlers' => array( 'Stream' => array( LOGS . 'debug.log', 'formatters' => array( 'Line' => array("%datetime% %channel% %level_name%: %message%\n") ) ) ) )); ``` Note that with CakePHP versions < 2.4 the engine name should instead be `Monolog.MonologLog`. Simple, no? But let's really do some serious logging, otherwise why bother moving away from the default [CakePHP logging](http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/logging.html) system? The example below shows how to setup: - rotating logs that are kept from 30 days and readable by [logstash](http://logstash.net) with memory peak usage info - normal log file with much more details about the request - email notifications for critical and alert levels including only the error message ``` CakeLog::config('logstash', array( 'engine' => 'Monolog.Monolog', 'channel' => 'app', 'handlers' => array( 'RotatingFile' => array( LOGS . 'application.log', 30 ), 'Stream' => array( LOGS . 'logstash.log', 'formatters' => array( 'Line' => array("%datetime% %channel% %level_name%: %message%\n") ), 'processors' => array( 'DatadogProcessor' => array( 'search' => CakePlugin::path('Monolog') . 'Lib' . DS . 'Log' . DS . 'Processor' ), 'MemoryUsage' => array(), 'Web' => array() ) ), 'CakeEmail' => array( 'admin@domain.com', 'ALERT: APPLICATION REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.', 'default' ) ) )); ``` ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 80% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity28 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity66 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 70.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
