Custom log file

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hello,

I have a long running console script, that I need to monitor,

I want only this script to write to this log file (foo.log) and nothing else.

How can I set this up?

Thanks,

Urkman

Give your log messages a category:




Yii::info($message, 'foo');

Then place a special class under your targets in the config file:




'log' => [

// ...

    'targets' => [

        [

            'class' => 'yii\log\FileTarget',

// ...      

        ],

// ... 

       [

            'class' => 'yii\log\FileTarget',

            'levels' => ['info'],

            'categories' => ['foo'],

            'logFile' => '@app/runtime/logs/foo.log',

       ],

Got the idea for a similar problem from here:

Best,

Hello PapaJoe,

thanks for your reply…

I already tried exactly that, but I always have the $SERVER data in my log file :(

Looks like this:




2015-03-16 09:25:01 [-][-][-][info][foo] test log...

2015-03-16 09:24:01 [-][-][-][info][application] $_SERVER = [ ... ]

I don’t want that “application” entry…

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Urkman

No one with an idea on how to get rid of this ‘application’ entries?

use yii\log\Target::$logVars property to determine which global variables you want to include by the log target. Here is how to disable all global variables:

'targets' => [
    'class' => 'yii\log\FileTarget',
    // some configurations
   'logVars' => [],
],
