Log handlers

You can configure log handlers to send messages to a remote logging server. A log handler pushes build and deploy logs to other systems, similarly to the way you push logs to Slack and email. You can enable a syslog handler, which is ideal for logging messages related to hardware, or a Graylog Extended Log Format (GELF) handler, which is ideal for logging messages from software applications.

The following example configures both of these handlers by adding the configuration to the .magento.env.yaml file. For the minimum logging level (min_level) values, see Log levels.

log:
  syslog:
    ident: "<syslog-ident>"
    facility: 8 # https://php.net/manual/en/network.constants.php
    min_level: "info"
    logopts: <syslog-logopts>

  syslog_udp:
    host: "<syslog-host>"
    port: <syslog-port>
    facility: 8  # https://php.net/manual/en/network.constants.php
    ident: "<syslog-ident>"
    min_level: "info"

  gelf:
    min_level: "info"
    use_default_formatter: true
    additional: # Some additional information for each log message
      project: "<some-project-id>"
      app_id: "<some-app-id>"
    transport:
      http:
        host: "<http-host>"
        port: <http-port>
        path: "<http-path>"
        connection_timeout: 60
      tcp:
        host: "<tcp-host>"
        port: <tcp-port>
        connection_timeout: 60
      udp:
        host: "<udp-host>"
        port: <udp-port>
        chunk_size: 1024

Log levels

Log levels determine the level of detail in notification messages. The following log level categories include every log level below it. For example, a debug level includes logging from every level, whereas an alert level only shows alerts and emergencies.

• debug—detailed debug information
• info—interesting events, such as a user login or SQL log
• notice—normal, but significant events
• warning—exceptional occurrences that are not errors, such as the use of a deprecated API or poor use of an API
• error—run-time errors that do not require immediate action
• critical—critical conditions, such as an unavailable application component or an unexpected exception
• alert—immediate action required—such as a website is down or the database is unavailable—that triggers an SMS alert
• emergency—system is unusable
