Logger extends Component
in package

Logger records logged messages in memory and sends them to different targets if [[dispatcher]] is set.

A Logger instance can be accessed via Yii::getLogger(). You can call the method [[log()]] to record a single log message. For convenience, a set of shortcut methods are provided for logging messages of various severity levels via the [[Yii]] class:

  • [[Yii::trace()]]
  • [[Yii::error()]]
  • [[Yii::warning()]]
  • [[Yii::info()]]
  • [[Yii::beginProfile()]]
  • [[Yii::endProfile()]]

For more details and usage information on Logger, see the guide article on logging.

When the application ends or [[flushInterval]] is reached, Logger will call [[flush()]] to send logged messages to different log targets, such as [[FileTarget|file]], [[EmailTarget|email]], or [[DbTarget|database]], with the help of the [[dispatcher]].

Error message level. An error message is one that indicates the abnormal termination of the application and may require developer's handling.

public mixed LEVEL_ERROR = 0x1

Properties

$behaviors read-only

public array<string|int, Behavior> $behaviors

List of behaviors attached to this component.

$dbEventNames

public array<string|int, mixed> $dbEventNames = ['yii\db\Command::query', 'yii\db\Command::execute']

of event names used to get statistical results of DB queries.

Tags
since
2.0.41

$dbProfiling read-only

public array<string|int, mixed> $dbProfiling

The first element indicates the number of SQL statements executed, and the second element the total time spent in SQL execution.

$elapsedTime read-only

public float $elapsedTime

The total elapsed time in seconds for current request.

$flushInterval

public int $flushInterval = 1000

how many messages should be logged before they are flushed from memory and sent to targets. Defaults to 1000, meaning the [[flush()]] method will be invoked once every 1000 messages logged. Set this property to be 0 if you don't want to flush messages until the application terminates. This property mainly affects how much memory will be taken by the logged messages. A smaller value means less memory, but will increase the execution time due to the overhead of [[flush()]].

$messages

public array<string|int, mixed> $messages = []

logged messages. This property is managed by [[log()]] and [[flush()]]. Each log message is of the following structure:

[
  [0] => message (mixed, can be a string or some complex data, such as an exception object)
  [1] => level (integer)
  [2] => category (string)
  [3] => timestamp (float, obtained by microtime(true))
  [4] => traces (array, debug backtrace, contains the application code call stacks)
  [5] => memory usage in bytes (int, obtained by memory_get_usage()), available since version 2.0.11.
]

$profiling read-only

public array<string|int, mixed> $profiling

The profiling results. Each element is an array consisting of these elements: info, category, timestamp, trace, level, duration, memory, memoryDiff. The memory and memoryDiff values are available since version 2.0.11.

$profilingAware

public bool $profilingAware = false

whether the profiling-aware mode should be switched on. If on, [[flush()]] makes sure that profiling blocks are flushed in pairs. In case that any dangling messages are detected these are kept for the next flush interval to find their pair. To prevent memory leaks, when number of dangling messages reaches flushInterval value, logger flushes them immediately and triggers a warning. Keep in mind that profiling-aware mode is more time and memory consuming.

Tags
since
2.0.43

$traceLevel

public int $traceLevel = 0

how much call stack information (file name and line number) should be logged for each message. If it is greater than 0, at most that number of call stacks will be logged. Note that only application call stacks are counted.

$_behaviors

private array<string|int, Behavior>|null $_behaviors

the attached behaviors (behavior name => behavior). This is null when not initialized.

$_events

private array<string|int, mixed> $_events = []

the attached event handlers (event name => handlers)

$_eventWildcards

private array<string|int, mixed> $_eventWildcards = []

the event handlers attached for wildcard patterns (event name wildcard => handlers)

public __call(string $name, array<string|int, mixed> $params) : mixed

This method will check if any attached behavior has the named method and will execute it if available.

name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

__get()

public __get(string $name) : mixed

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a getter: return the getter result
  • a property of a behavior: return the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $component->property;.

Parameters
$name : string

the property name

Tags
throws
UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

throws
InvalidCallException

if the property is write-only.

see

Return values
mixed

the property value or the value of a behavior's property

__isset()

Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a setter: return whether the property is set
  • a property of a behavior: return whether the property is set
  • return false for non existing properties

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($component->property).

Parameters
$name : string

the property name or the event name

Tags

Return values
bool

whether the named property is set

__set()

  • an event in the format of "on xyz": attach the handler to the event "xyz"
  • a behavior in the format of "as xyz": attach the behavior named as "xyz"

Parameters
$name : string

the property name or the event name

$value : mixed

the property value

Tags
throws
UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

throws
InvalidCallException

attachBehavior()

Attaches a behavior to this component.

public attachBehavior(string $name, string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior $behavior) : Behavior

This method will create the behavior object based on the given configuration. After that, the behavior object will be attached to this component by calling the [[Behavior::attach()]] method.

Parameters
$name : string

the name of the behavior.

$behavior : string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior

the behavior configuration. This can be one of the following:

  • a [[Behavior]] object
  • a string specifying the behavior class
  • an object configuration array that will be passed to [[Yii::createObject()]] to create the behavior object.
Tags
see
detachBehavior()
Return values
Behavior

the behavior object

attachBehaviors()

Attaches a list of behaviors to the component.

public attachBehaviors(array<string|int, mixed> $behaviors) : mixed

Each behavior is indexed by its name and should be a [[Behavior]] object, a string specifying the behavior class, or an configuration array for creating the behavior.

Parameters
$behaviors : array<string|int, mixed>

list of behaviors to be attached to the component

Tags
see
attachBehavior()

behaviors()

Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.

public behaviors() : array<string|int, mixed>

Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.

The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:

'behaviorName' => [
    'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
    'property1' => 'value1',
    'property2' => 'value2',
]

Note that a behavior class must extend from [[Behavior]]. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using [[getBehavior()]] or be detached using [[detachBehavior()]]. Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.

Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

the behavior configurations.

on()

Attaches an event handler to an event.

public on(string $name, callable $handler[, mixed $data = null ][, bool $append = true ]) : mixed

The event handler must be defined with the following signature,

function ($event)

where $event is an [[Event]] object which includes parameters associated with the event.

Since 2.0.14 you can specify event name as a wildcard pattern:

$component->on('event.group.*', function ($event) {
    Yii::trace($event->name . ' is triggered.');
});
Parameters
$name : string

Return values
Behavior

the attached behavior.
