Flow Syslog Backend

Abstract

This Flow package allows you to use the local syslog daemon for logging and is a replacement for the TYPO3\Flow\Log\Backend\FileBackend.

This is especially useful while integrating external services for log-management, like e.g. Papertrail, which are using the syslog protocol for (securely) access.

Install

composer require cron-eu/flow-syslog:dev-master --update-no-dev

Setup

Configure the Backend for the e.g. systemLogger and securityLogger:

TYPO3:
  Flow:
    log:
      systemLogger:
        backend: CRON\Flow\Log\Backend\SyslogBackend
        backendOptions:
          # identifies the application
          name: 'my-awesome-flow-app'
          # log all 
          severityThreshold: '%LOG_DEBUG%'
          # syslog facility code, default is LOG_LOCAL1
          facility: '%LOG_LOCAL3%'
      securityLogger:
        backend: CRON\Flow\Log\Backend\SyslogBackend
        backendOptions:
          # identifies the application
          name: 'my-awesome-flow-app'
          severityThreshold: '%LOG_DEBUG%'
          facility: '%LOG_LOCAL3%'

Syslog Severity Levels

I do recommend to disable the severityThreshold, setting it to LOG_DEBUG and setup syslog for the filtering/routing.
