How to Log Messages to different Files¶
The Symfony Standard Edition contains a bunch of channels for logging: doctrine, event, security and request. Each channel corresponds to a logger service (monolog.logger.XXX) in the container and is injected to the concerned service. The purpose of channels is to be able to organize different types of log messages.
By default, Symfony logs every message into a single file (regardless of the channel).
Switching a Channel to a different Handler¶
Now, suppose you want to log the doctrine channel to a different file.
To do so, just create a new handler and configure it like this:
- YAML
# app/config/config.yml monolog: handlers: main: type: stream path: /var/log/symfony.log channels: ["!doctrine"] doctrine: type: stream path: /var/log/doctrine.log channels: [doctrine]
- XML
<!-- app/config/config.xml --> <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="/var/log/symfony.log"> <monolog:channels> <monolog:channel>!doctrine</monolog:channel> </monolog:channels> </monolog:handler> <monolog:handler name="doctrine" type="stream" path="/var/log/doctrine.log"> <monolog:channels> <monolog:channel>doctrine</monolog:channel> </monolog:channels> </monolog:handler> </monolog:config> </container>
- PHP
// app/config/config.php $container->loadFromExtension('monolog', array( 'handlers' => array( 'main' => array( 'type' => 'stream', 'path' => '/var/log/symfony.log', 'channels' => array( '!doctrine', ), ), 'doctrine' => array( 'type' => 'stream', 'path' => '/var/log/doctrine.log', 'channels' => array( 'doctrine', ), ), ), ));
YAML Specification¶
You can specify the configuration by many forms:
channels: ~ # Include all the channels
channels: foo # Include only channel "foo"
channels: "!foo" # Include all channels, except "foo"
channels: [foo, bar] # Include only channels "foo" and "bar"
channels: ["!foo", "!bar"] # Include all channels, except "foo" and "bar"
Creating your own Channel¶
You can change the channel monolog logs to one service at a time. This is done either via the configuration below or by tagging your service with monolog.logger and specifying which channel the service should log to. With the tag, the logger that is injected into that service is preconfigured to use the channel you’ve specified.
Configure Additional Channels without Tagged Services¶
2.3 新版功能: This feature was introduced to the MonologBundle in version 2.4. This version is compatible with Symfony 2.3, but only MonologBundle 2.3 is installed by default. To use this feature, upgrade your bundle manually.
With MonologBundle 2.4 you can configure additional channels without the need to tag your services:
- YAML
# app/config/config.yml monolog: channels: ["foo", "bar"]
- XML
<!-- app/config/config.xml --> <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:channel>foo</monolog:channel> <monolog:channel>bar</monolog:channel> </monolog:config> </container>
- PHP
// app/config/config.php $container->loadFromExtension('monolog', array( 'channels' => array( 'foo', 'bar', ), ));
With this, you can now send log messages to the foo channel by using the automatically registered logger service monolog.logger.foo.
