Logging FAQ¶

Which log entries are stored in the database?¶

By default, ERP messages and emails are stored in the database.

All other log entries are stored in the .log file.

`log` database tables cannot be found¶

If you get an error that log database tables cannot be found, update your database schema:

1	`php bin/console doctrine:schema:update [--dump-sql\|--force]`

How do I invoke a simple log instruction?¶

The ID for the standard logging is silver_common.logger. This is an instance of Monolog\Logger. You can write a simple debug log in a container action in the following way:

1
2
3

$logger = $this->get('silver_common.logger');
$additionalContext = array('exception' => $ex);
$logger->debug('My log message', $additionalContext);

How do I log a newly created ERP message?¶

All transmitted messages are logged automatically, because the mandatory transport layer automatically logs all messages. But if a new transport is implemented (other than WebConnectorMessageTransport), this implementation has to take care of logging the measuring point on a lower level. See Measuring Points in the ERP logging documentation for more information.

How do I log an email that is sent by the shop?¶

All emails that are sent with MailHelperService are logged automatically.

How do I avoid logging the password in the database?¶

If the email contains a password that should not be logged in the DB, you have to specify this password as a template parameter.

MailHelperService replaces the template parameter password with ***.

Where can I find the log file?¶

The standard log file is located in var/logs/silver.eshop.log

More precisely, Monolog's StreamHandler writes logs into files. The path to the file is a constructor parameter of the StreamHandler. For an example of service configuration, see ERP Logging.
