Stackify PHP Logger
===================

[](#stackify-php-logger)

Standalone Stackify PHP [PSR-3](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md) Logger.

- **Errors and Logs Overview:**
- **Sign Up for a Trial:**

PHP Logging Framework Integrations
----------------------------------

[](#php-logging-framework-integrations)

- **Monolog** Handler:
- **log4php** Appender:

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the latest version with `composer require stackify/logger`

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- Stackify PHP Logger ^2.0 works with PHP 7.1 or above.
- Stackify PHP Logger ^1.0 works with PHP 5.3 or above.

### Installation with Linux Agent

[](#installation-with-linux-agent)

This is the suggested installation option, offering the best logging performance.

```
use Stackify\Log\Standalone\Logger;

$logger = new Logger('application_name', 'environment_name');
```

### Installation without Linux Agent

[](#installation-without-linux-agent)

This option does not require the Stackify Agent to be installed because it sends data directly to Stackify services. It collects log entries in batches, calls curl using the `exec` function, and sends data to the background immediately \[`exec('curl ... &')`\]. This will affect the performance of your application minimally, but it requires permissions to call `exec` inside the PHP script and it may cause silent data loss in the event of any network issues. This transport method does not work on Windows. To configure ExecTransport you need to pass the environment name and API key (license key):

```
use Stackify\Log\Transport\ExecTransport;
use Stackify\Log\Standalone\Logger;

$transport = new ExecTransport('api_key');
$logger = new Logger('application_name', 'environment_name', $transport);
```

#### Optional Settings

[](#optional-settings)

**Proxy**

- ExecTransport supports data delivery through proxy. Specify proxy using [libcurl format](http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html): ``

```
$transport = new ExecTransport($apiKey, ['proxy' => 'https://55.88.22.11:3128']);
```

**Curl path**

- It can be useful to specify `curl` destination path for ExecTransport. This option is set to 'curl' by default.

```
$transport = new ExecTransport($apiKey, ['curlPath' => '/usr/bin/curl']);
```

**Log Server Environment Variables**

- Server environment variables can be added to error log message metadata. **Note:** This will log all system environment variables; do not enable if sensitive information such as passwords or keys are stored this way.

```
$logger = new Logger('application_name', 'environment_name', $transport, true);
```

### **Configuration Settings**

[](#configuration-settings)

- This allow users to override default settings of the logger (Masking Request Variables, Session, Cookie or Updating connection properties to different Transports etc.)
- **Note** - By default capturing raw post data `(e.g. file_get_contents("php://input"))` and `$_POST` variables are `DISABLED` by default
    - To enable you can set the following options to `true`
    - `CapturePostVariables` - `Boolean` - Capture `$_POST` variables
    - `CaptureRawPostData` - `Boolean` - Capture `php://input` stream data `(e.g. file_get_contents("php://input"))````
        $config = array(
                'CapturePostVariables' => true,
                'CaptureRawPostData' => true,
                ...
        );
        ```
- **Note** - For the `Whitelist/Blackist` setting. Anything `falsy` (`null`, `false`, `array()` etc. - Refer to php [empty](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php) function checking) will be considered as `Do Not Track` - No variable data will be processed.

#### Logger Level

[](#logger-level)

```
$config = array(
       'CaptureServerVariables' => false,
       'CaptureServerVariablesWhitelist' => '*',
       'CaptureServerVariablesBlacklist' => 'REMOTE_ADDR,SERVER_ADDR',
       ...
   );

$logger = new Logger('application_name', 'environment_name', $transport, true, $config);
```

#### Transport Level

[](#transport-level)

- This applies to all the transports `(ExecTransport, CurlTransport, AgentTransport, AgentSocketTransport)`

```
$config = array(
       'CaptureServerVariables' => false,
       'CaptureServerVariablesWhitelist' => '*',
       'CaptureServerVariablesBlacklist' => 'REMOTE_ADDR,SERVER_ADDR',
       ...
   );

$transport = new ExecTransport($apiKey, [
   'config' => $config
]);
```

#### Troubleshooting

[](#troubleshooting)

If transport does not work, try looking into `vendor\stackify\logger\src\Stackify\debug\log.log` file (if it is available for writing). Errors are also written to global PHP [error\_log](http://php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.error-log). Note that ExecTransport does not produce any errors at all, but you can switch it to debug mode:

```
$transport = new ExecTransport($apiKey, ['debug' => true]);
```

You can set it also on the `Logger` level. Setting the `Debug` and `DebugLogPath`

```
$config = array(
        'DebugLogPath' => '/path/to/log.log',
        'Debug' => true
    );

$logger = new Logger('application_name', 'environment_name', $transport, true, $config);
```

### **Real User Monitoring (RUM)**

[](#real-user-monitoring-rum)

Real user monitoring injects a script tag containing the [RUM JS](https://stackify.com/retrace-real-user-monitoring/) that is responsible for capturing information about the http requests on the browser. This approach is manual and needs to be configured.

#### RUM - Setup

[](#rum---setup)

```
/** Requires composer **/
$applicationName = 'Your Application Name';
$environment = 'YourEnvironment';
$rumKey = 'YourRumKey';

\Stackify\Utils\Rum::getInstance()->setupConfiguration(
	$applicationName,
	$environment,
	$rumKey
);
```

#### RUM - Application
