README

This is a custom package designed for Laravel. It provides a logging stack pre-configured to format for Logstash and adds multiple useful Monolog processors.

It includes the following processors to enrich logs with extra data:

• MemoryPeakUsageProcessor which adds the peak memory usage using the memory_get_peak_usage() PHP function,
• MemoryUsageProcessor which adds the current memory usage using the memory_get_usage() PHP function,
• UidProcessor which adds a unique ID to each instance of the logger class - useful to track all logs across a single request,
• WebProcessor which adds the current request URI, request method and client IP to a log record,
• BuildTagProcessor which is designed for use in docker and will add the image tag to the logs.
• IntrospectionProcessor which adds the file, class, function and line where the log was triggered.

Usage

A logstash_single, logstash_stderr, and logstash_stdout logger have been made available for use as logging channels. You can use these in a stack along with some others or use them standalone. Simply set your LOG_CHANNEL environment variable to either of those pre-configured channels.

To customise configuration of these channels, copy the contents of laravel-logging.php to the channels key in the application's config/logging.php file.

The logstash_stderr channel includes a formatter for Logstash, the only difference compared to the logstash channel is that the log lines go to STDERR instead of to a file. This is useful for a Laravel application running in docker.

The logstash_stdout channel includes a formatter for Logstash, the only difference compared to the logstash channel is that the log lines go to STDOUT instead of to a file. This is useful for a Laravel application running in docker.

Note: The logstash_stdout channel cannot be used with PHP FPM processes because PHP FPM makes STDOUT unavailable internally.

Note: The BuildTagProcessor requires you to inject the Docker build tag into build_tag key in config/app.php. If it is not present, the value is not added to the logs.
