README

A simple library for logging. This library helps remove the boilerplate code required to connect to the remote logging infrustructure by suppling a factory for creating Monolog instances based on a global configuration.

Installation

Install the latest version with: php composer.phar require nona-creative/log

Basic usage

<?php
use Nona\Log\Logger;

$log = Logger::getInstance('demo');
$log->info('Hello world log message');

Advanced usage

<?php
use Nona\Log\LogConfig;
use Nona\Log\Logger;

Logger::setGlobalConfig(new LogConfig('demo-app', 'udp://localhost:5000', 'localhost'));
$log = Logger::getInstance('demo');

$log->info('Hello world log message', ['hello' => 'world']);

The LogConfig Object

Currently the LogConfig object is really basic and only requires 3 parameters.

LogConfig::__construct($applicationName, $host = null, $systemName = null)

When $host is blank, then logs will be output to stdout, which is great for development use. To log to a remote Logstash instance, supply $host with a url, eg: udp://localhost:5000.

If $systemName is left blank, then Monolog will do a lookup to get the local system name.

More Information

As all this is is a factory to manage Monolog, for any logging related information, refer to Monolog on GitHub
