README

A php implementation to send log-files to a gelf compatible backend like Graylog2. This library conforms to the PSR standards in regards to structure (0), coding-style (1, 2) and logging (3).

It's a loosely based on the original Graylog2 gelf-php and mlehner's fork.

Stable release and deprecation of the original graylog2/gelf-php

This implementation became the official PHP GELF library on 2013-12-19 and is now released as graylog2/gelf-php v1.0. The old library became deprecated at the same time and it's recommended to upgrade.

Since the deprecated library never got a stable release, we decided keep it available as v0.1. This means: If you have a project based on the deprecated library but no time to upgrade to version 1.0, we recommend to change your composer.json as following:

    "require": {
       // ...
       "graylog2/gelf-php": "0.1.*"
       // ...
    }

After running an additional composer update everything should work as expected.

Usage

Recommended installation via composer:

Add gelf-php to composer.json:

"require": {
   // ...
   "graylog2/gelf-php": "~1.0"
   // ...
}

Reinstall dependencies: composer install
