README

Fluent interface for composing and sending messages to Graylog.

This package was designed to work in a standalone project or in a cluster of projects which push messages into a master project/database which act as a collector.

If you use this package in cluster mode, make sure the process php artisan graylog:dispatch-jobs is running on master project. This can be kept alive with supervisor

Installation

Require this package in your composer.json and update composer. Run the following command:

composer require tsfcorp/graylog

After updating composer, the service provider will automatically be registered and enabledusing Auto-Discovery

If your Laravel version is less than 5.5, make sure you add the service provider within app.php config file.

'providers' => [
    // ...
    TsfCorp\Graylog\GraylogServiceProvider::class,
];

Next step is to run the artisan command to install config file and optionally migration file. The command will guide you through the process.

php artisan graylog:install

Update config/graylog.php with your settings.

Requirements

This package makes use of Laravel Queues/Jobs to send a message to Graylog. Make sure the queue system is configured properly

Usage Instructions

use TsfCorp\Graylog\GraylogMessage;

$message = (new GraylogMessage)
    ->setLevel(GraylogMessage::ERROR)
    ->setShortMessage('Short message.')
    ->setFullMessage('Full message.')
    ->setSubsystem('subsystem')
    ->setAdditional('custom_1', 'value_1')
    ->setAdditional('custom_2', 'value_2')
    ->setContext([
        'prop' => 'value'
    ]);

Use enqueue() method to save the message in database without sending to Graylog. Useful when you want to just save the message but delay sending. Or when database_connection config value is another database and sending is performed from there.

$message->enqueue();

Save the message and schedule a job to send the message to graylog

$message->enqueue()->dispatch();
