\Cake\Log\EngineFileLog

File Storage stream for Logging. Writes logs to different files based on the level of log it is.

It simply delegates all log-level-specific methods to the log method to reduce boilerplate code that a simple Logger that does the same thing with messages regardless of the error level has to implement.

Properties

$_defaultConfig

$_defaultConfig : array

Default config for this class

  • levels string or array, levels the engine is interested in
  • scopes string or array, scopes the engine is interested in
  • file Log file name
  • path The path to save logs on.
  • size Used to implement basic log file rotation. If log file size reaches specified size the existing file is renamed by appending timestamp to filename and new log file is created. Can be integer bytes value or human readable string values like '10MB', '100KB' etc.
  • rotate Log files are rotated specified times before being removed. If value is 0, old versions are removed rather then rotated.
  • mask A mask is applied when log files are created. Left empty no chmod is made.

Methods

__construct()

__construct(array  $config = array()) 

Sets protected properties based on config provided

Parameters

array $config

Configuration array

levels()

levels() : array

Get the levels this logger is interested in.

Returns

array

scopes()

scopes() : array

Get the scopes this logger is interested in.

Returns

array

setConfig()

setConfig(string|array  $key, mixed|null  $value = null, boolean  $merge = true) : $this

Sets the config.

Usage

Setting a specific value:

$this->setConfig('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->setConfig('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->setConfig(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Parameters

string|array $key

The key to set, or a complete array of configs.

mixed|null $value

The value to set.

boolean $merge

Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true.

Throws

\Cake\Core\Exception\Exception

When trying to set a key that is invalid.

Returns

$this

getConfig()

getConfig(string|null  $key = null, mixed  $default = null) : mixed

Returns the config.

Usage

Reading the whole config:

$this->getConfig();

Reading a specific value:

$this->getConfig('key');

Reading a nested value:

$this->getConfig('some.nested.key');

Reading with default value:

$this->getConfig('some-key', 'default-value');

Parameters

string|null $key

The key to get or null for the whole config.

mixed $default

The return value when the key does not exist.

Returns

mixed —

Config value being read.

config()

config(string|array|null  $key = null, mixed|null  $value = null, boolean  $merge = true) : mixed

Gets/Sets the config.

Usage

Reading the whole config:

$this->config();

Reading a specific value:

$this->config('key');

Reading a nested value:

$this->config('some.nested.key');

Setting a specific value:

$this->config('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->config('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Parameters

string|array|null $key

The key to get/set, or a complete array of configs.

mixed|null $value

The value to set.

boolean $merge

Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true.

Throws

\Cake\Core\Exception\Exception

When trying to set a key that is invalid.

Returns

mixed —

Config value being read, or the object itself on write operations.

configShallow()

configShallow(string|array  $key, mixed|null  $value = null) : $this

Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike `config()` which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.

Setting a specific value:

$this->configShallow('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->configShallow('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->configShallow(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Parameters

string|array $key

The key to set, or a complete array of configs.

mixed|null $value

The value to set.

Returns

$this

emergency()

emergency(string  $message, array  $context = array()) : void

System is unusable.

Parameters

string $message
array $context

alert()

alert(string  $message, array  $context = array()) : void

Action must be taken immediately.

Example: Entire website down, database unavailable, etc. This should trigger the SMS alerts and wake you up.

Parameters

string $message
array $context

critical()

critical(string  $message, array  $context = array()) : void

Critical conditions.

Example: Application component unavailable, unexpected exception.

Parameters

string $message
array $context

error()

error(string  $message, array  $context = array()) : void

Runtime errors that do not require immediate action but should typically be logged and monitored.

Parameters

string $message
array $context

warning()

warning(string  $message, array  $context = array()) : void

Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.

string $message
array $context

string $message
array $context

info()

info(string  $message, array  $context = array()) : void

Interesting events.

Example: User logs in, SQL logs.

Additional information about the logged message

Returns

boolean —

success of write.
