Symfony configuration

[nennad]

Hi there,

We would like to use this package in our Symfony project. Is there a chance that you have an example configuration for Symfony?

Many thanks!

I would be interested in the same, as well. We're currently using an .ebextensions configuration to stream the Symfony logs to CloudWatch Logs, but it would be beneficial to stream specific log writes to CloudWatch directly. I started following this project with the intent to come back around to just this utilization.

Hi @vurcease, we figured it out.

So in your config.yml you need something like this:

monolog:
    handlers:
        main:
            type:         fingers_crossed
            action_level: error
            handler:      custom
        custom:
            type: service
            id: cloudwatch_handler

Then in services.yml put this:

    cloudwatch_client:
        class: Aws\CloudWatchLogs\CloudWatchLogsClient
        arguments:
            -
                credentials: { key: "%amazon_accesskey%", secret: "%amazon_secretkey%" }
                region: "%amazon_region%"
                version: "2014-03-28"

    cloudwatch_handler:
        class: Maxbanton\Cwh\Handler\CloudWatch
        arguments:
            - "@cloudwatch_client"
            - "my_group_name"              # groupName
            - "%kernel.environment%" # streamName
            - 30                     # retentionDays
            - 10000                  # logsInBatch
            - { mytag: "tag" }       # tags
            - WARNING                # logLevel

In addition to this package you also need this:

composer require aws/aws-sdk-php

Hope this helps.

Hi!
Thanks @nennad for your posting!
Actually, last step

In addition to this package you also need this:

composer require aws/aws-sdk-php

is not needed, AWS SDK is already required by library.

You're right @maxbanton ! Thanks for the nice lib btw 🥇 🍻

@nennad you are welcome!

Would love to see the example upgraded so that an additional file handler would also keep the logs in case there were some connection issues with CloudWatch.

@mikemix I think the standard grouping mechanism would work fine.

monolog:
    handlers:
        main:
            type:         fingers_crossed
            action_level: error
            handler:      grouped
        grouped:
            type:    group
            members: [local, cloudwatch]
        local:
            type:  stream
            path:  "%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log"
        cloudwatch:
            type: service
            id: cloudwatch_handler

Omg, I thank u so much. This solved this issue for me so fast. Thought that will be hard work. But its was a joke so easy ;)! Thanks Guys.

Note that the above configuration only logs the 'errors' or 'critical' logs to CloudWatch.
This is because the 'local' handler apparently removes the 'debug and notice' levels.

if you want to log debug and notice levels too, change. to:

grouped:
            type:    group
            members: [cloudwatch,local]
