lithium\analysis\Logger

class

The Logger class provides a consistent, application-wide interface for configuring and writing log messages. As with other subclasses of Adaptable, Logger can be configured with a series of named configurations, each containing a log adapter to write to. Logger exposes a single method, write(), which can write to one or more log adapters.

When configuring adapters, you may specify one or more priorities for each, using the 'priority' key. This key can be a single priority level (string), or an array of multiple levels. When a log message is written, all adapters that are configured to accept the priority level with which the message was written will receive the message.

Logger::config(array(
	'default' => array('adapter' => 'Syslog'),
	'badnews' => array(
		'adapter' => 'File',
		'priority' => array('emergency', 'alert', 'critical', 'error')
	)
));

In the above configuration, all messages will be written to the system log (syslogd), but only messages with the priority error or higher will be logged to a file. Messages can then be written to the log(s) using the write() method:

Logger::write('alert', 'This is an alert-level message that will be logged in 2 places');

Messages can also be written using the log priority as a method name:

Logger::alert('This is an alert-level message that will be logged in 2 places');

This works identically to the above. The message priority levels which Logger supports are as follows: emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, info and debug. Attempting to use any other priority level will raise an exception. See the list of available adapters for more information on what adapters are available, and how to configure them.
