AppLogger

The RoadRunner server has a useful app-logger plugin that allows users to send logs from their applications to the RoadRunner server using an RPC interface. This plugin is enabled by default and does not require any additional configurations. It can be used to observe all application and server logs in one place. This is especially useful when debugging and monitoring applications.

It will send raw messages to the RoadRunner STDERR

Configuration

The logs section in the RoadRunner configuration file allows you to configure logging behavior for their application.

.rr.yaml

rpc:
  listen: tcp://127.0.0.1:6001

logs:
  channels:
    app:
      level: info

To interact with the RoadRunner app-logger plugin, you will need to have the RPC defined in the rpc configuration section. You can refer to the documentation page here to learn more about the configuration.

The level key is used to specify the logging level for this channel. This means that only log messages with a severity level of info or higher will be sent to this channel.

Read more about logging in the Logging — Logger section.

PHP client

The RoadRunner app-logger plugin comes with a convenient PHP package that simplifies the process of integrating the plugin with your PHP application.

Installation

To get started, you can install the package via Composer using the following command:

composer require roadrunner-php/app-logger

Usage

After the installation, you can create an instance of the RoadRunner\Logger\Logger class, which will allow you to use the available class methods.

Here is an example:

logger.php

use Spiral\Goridge\RPC\RPC;
use RoadRunner\Logger\Logger;

$rpc = RPC::create('tcp://127.0.0.1:6001');

$logger = new Logger($rpc);

$logger->info('Hello, RoadRunner!');
$logger->warning('Something might be wrong...');
$logger->error('Houston, we have a problem!');

You can refer to the documentation page here to learn more about creating the RPC connection.

Available methods

• debug(string): void: Sends a debug log message to the server

• error(string): void: Sends an error log message to the server

• info(string): void: Sends an info log message to the server

• warning(string): void: Sends a warning log message to the server

• log(string): void: Sends a log message directly to the STDERR of the server

API

RPC API

RoadRunner provides an RPC API, which allows you to manage app-logger in your applications using remote procedure calls. The RPC API provides a set of methods that map to the available methods of the RoadRunner\Logger\Loggerclass in PHP.

All methods accept a string (which will be log message) as a first argument and a bool placeholder for the second arg.

Error

Method sends an error log message with the specified message to the RoadRunner server.

func (r *RPC) Error(in string, _ *bool) error {}

Info

Method sends an info log message with the specified message to the RoadRunner server.

func (r *RPC) Info(in string, _ *bool) error {}

Warning

Method sends a warning log message with the specified message to the RoadRunner server.

func (r *RPC) Warning(in string, _ *bool) error {}

Debug

Method sends a debug log message with the specified message to the RoadRunner server.

func (r *RPC) Debug(in string, _ *bool) error {}

Log

Method sends a log message with the specified message directly to the STDERR of the RoadRunner server.

func (r *RPC) Log(in string, _ *bool) error {}
