README

A small bridge that lets the Tracy debugger log through a Monolog logger so you can route Tracy's log calls (warnings, errors, exceptions) through any Monolog handler, processor or formatter you already use.

Includes:

• Detain\TracyHasMono\TracyMonoLogger — a Tracy\ILogger implementation backed by a Monolog\Logger.
• Detain\TracyHasMono\Processors\TracyExceptionProcessor — a Monolog processor that renders any Throwable found in a record's context as a Tracy BlueScreen HTML file.
• Detain\TracyHasMono\Bridges\NetteDI\MonologExtension — an optional Nette DI compiler extension that wires everything into a container.
• Nextras\TracyMonologAdapter\Logger — a legacy alias kept for backwards compatibility with code that still imports the old namespace.

Requirements

Installation

composer require detain/tracy-monolog-adapter

Usage

Plain PHP

Wire a Monolog logger and pass it to TracyMonoLogger, then register the result with Tracy's Debugger.

use Detain\TracyHasMono\Processors\TracyExceptionProcessor;
use Detain\TracyHasMono\TracyMonoLogger;
use Monolog\Handler\RotatingFileHandler;
use Monolog\Logger;
use Tracy\BlueScreen;
use Tracy\Debugger;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$logDir = __DIR__ . '/log';

Debugger::enable(Debugger::PRODUCTION, $logDir);

$monolog = new Logger('app');
$monolog->pushHandler(new RotatingFileHandler($logDir . '/app.log'));
$monolog->pushProcessor(new TracyExceptionProcessor($logDir, new BlueScreen()));

Debugger::setLogger(new TracyMonoLogger($monolog));

After this, every call Tracy makes to its ILogger (warnings, errors, uncaught exceptions, manual Debugger::log() calls) is routed through your Monolog stack.

Priority mapping

TracyMonoLogger maps Tracy priority strings to Monolog Level cases:

Unknown priorities fall back to Level::Error.

Throwable handling

When Debugger::log() is called with a Throwable, the throwable is moved into the Monolog record context under the exception key. If you have pushed TracyExceptionProcessor onto your logger, that processor will:

1. Render the throwable to a Tracy BlueScreen HTML file in the configured log directory (file name exception--Y-m-d--H-i--{hash}.html), reusing an existing file if one for the same hash is already present.
2. Add tracy_filename (just the basename) and tracy_created (true if this call wrote the file, false if it pre-existed) to the record context.
3. Replace the record message with a human-readable summary of the throwable chain when the original message is empty.

Nette DI

Register the bundled compiler extension in your NEON config:

extensions:
    monolog: Detain\TracyHasMono\Bridges\NetteDI\MonologExtension

By default this registers:

• monolog.handler — Monolog\Handler\RotatingFileHandler pointing at %logDir%/nette.log
• monolog.tracyExceptionProcessor — TracyExceptionProcessor pointing at %logDir%
• monolog.monologLogger — Monolog\Logger channel nette with the handler and processor pre-pushed
• monolog.tracyLogger — TracyMonoLogger wrapping the above and replacing the autowired tracy.logger service

After compilation the extension also injects \Tracy\Debugger::setLogger($this->getByType(\Tracy\ILogger::class)) into the container's initialize() method, so Tracy itself begins routing through Monolog as soon as the container boots.

To reuse an existing Monolog logger service instead of letting the extension create one, pass it via the extension config:

monolog:
    monolog: @myMonologLogger

Architecture

src/
├── Bridges/NetteDI/MonologExtension.php   # Nette DI compiler extension
├── Logger.php                             # Legacy Nextras\TracyMonologAdapter alias
├── Processors/TracyExceptionProcessor.php # Monolog processor → BlueScreen HTML
└── TracyMonoLogger.php                    # Tracy ILogger → Monolog adapter

Two namespaces are exposed:

• Detain\TracyHasMono\ — the active namespace; use this in new code.
• Nextras\TracyMonologAdapter\ — covers Logger.php only, kept as a drop-in replacement for the original Nextras package.
