Monolog allows you to process the record before logging it to add some extra data. A processor can be applied for the whole handler stack or only for a specific handler.
A processor is simply a callable receiving the record as its first argument.
Processors are configured using the monolog.processor
DIC tag. See the
:ref:`reference about it <dic_tags-monolog-processor>`.
Sometimes it is hard to tell which entries in the log belong to which session and/or request. The following example will add a unique token for each request using a processor:
namespace App\Logger; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\SessionInterface; class SessionRequestProcessor { private $session; private $sessionId; public function __construct(SessionInterface $session) { $this->session = $session; } public function processRecord(array $record) { if (!$this->session->isStarted()) { return $record; } if (!$this->sessionId) { $this->sessionId = substr($this->session->getId(), 0, 8) ?: '????????'; } $record['extra']['token'] = $this->sessionId.'-'.substr(uniqid('', true), -8); return $record; } }
Next, register your class as a service, as well as a formatter that uses the extra information:
.. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: yaml # config/services.yaml services: monolog.formatter.session_request: class: Monolog\Formatter\LineFormatter arguments: - "[%%datetime%%] [%%extra.token%%] %%channel%%.%%level_name%%: %%message%% %%context%% %%extra%%\n" App\Logger\SessionRequestProcessor: tags: - { name: monolog.processor, method: processRecord } .. code-block:: xml <!-- config/services.xml --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:monolog="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog" xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog/monolog-1.0.xsd"> <services> <service id="monolog.formatter.session_request" class="Monolog\Formatter\LineFormatter"> <argument>[%%datetime%%] [%%extra.token%%] %%channel%%.%%level_name%%: %%message%% %%context%% %%extra%%
</argument> </service> <service id="App\Logger\SessionRequestProcessor"> <tag name="monolog.processor" method="processRecord" /> </service> </services> </container> .. code-block:: php // config/services.php use App\Logger\SessionRequestProcessor; use Monolog\Formatter\LineFormatter; $container ->register('monolog.formatter.session_request', LineFormatter::class) ->addArgument('[%%datetime%%] [%%extra.token%%] %%channel%%.%%level_name%%: %%message%% %%context%% %%extra%%\n'); $container ->register(SessionRequestProcessor::class) ->addTag('monolog.processor', array('method' => 'processRecord'));
Finally, set the formatter to be used on whatever handler you want:
.. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: yaml # config/packages/prod/monolog.yaml monolog: handlers: main: type: stream path: '%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log' level: debug formatter: monolog.formatter.session_request .. code-block:: xml <!-- config/packages/prod/monolog.xml --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:monolog="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog" xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog/monolog-1.0.xsd"> <monolog:config> <monolog:handler name="main" type="stream" path="%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log" level="debug" formatter="monolog.formatter.session_request" /> </monolog:config> </container> .. code-block:: php // config/packages/prod/monolog.php $container->loadFromExtension('monolog', array( 'handlers' => array( 'main' => array( 'type' => 'stream', 'path' => '%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log', 'level' => 'debug', 'formatter' => 'monolog.formatter.session_request', ), ), ));
If you use several handlers, you can also register a processor at the handler level or at the channel level instead of registering it globally (see the following sections).
You can register a processor per handler using the handler
option of
the monolog.processor
tag:
.. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: yaml # config/services.yaml services: App\Logger\SessionRequestProcessor: tags: - { name: monolog.processor, method: processRecord, handler: main } .. code-block:: xml <!-- config/services.xml --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:monolog="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog" xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog/monolog-1.0.xsd"> <services> <service id="App\Logger\SessionRequestProcessor"> <tag name="monolog.processor" method="processRecord" handler="main" /> </service> </services> </container> .. code-block:: php // config/services.php // ... $container ->register(SessionRequestProcessor::class) ->addTag('monolog.processor', array('method' => 'processRecord', 'handler' => 'main'));
You can register a processor per channel using the channel
option of
the monolog.processor
tag:
.. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: yaml # config/services.yaml services: App\Logger\SessionRequestProcessor: tags: - { name: monolog.processor, method: processRecord, channel: main } .. code-block:: xml <!-- config/services.xml --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:monolog="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog" xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog/monolog-1.0.xsd"> <services> <service id="App\Logger\SessionRequestProcessor"> <tag name="monolog.processor" method="processRecord" channel="main" /> </service> </services> </container> .. code-block:: php // config/services.php // ... $container ->register(SessionRequestProcessor::class) ->addTag('monolog.processor', array('method' => 'processRecord', 'channel' => 'main'));
