I'm writing my own parser log for CakePHP.
I only need one thing: that is not written a log "message" (as a string), but a serialized array with various log information (date, type, line, stack traces, etc.).
But I don't understand what method/class I should rewrite, although I have consulted the APIs. Can you help me?
EDIT:
For now I do the opposite: I read the logs (already written) and I transform them into an array with a regex.
My code:
$logs = array_map(function($log) {
preg_match('/^'.
'([\d\-]+\s[\d:]+)\s(Error: Fatal Error|Error|Notice: Notice|Warning: Warning)(\s\(\d+\))?:\s([^\n]+)\n'.
'(Exception Attributes:\s((.(?!Request|Referer|Stack|Trace))+)\n)?'.
'(Request URL:\s([^\n]+)\n)?'.
'(Referer URL:\s([^\n]+)\n)?'.
'(Stack Trace:\n(.+))?'.
'(Trace:\n(.+))?(.+)?'.
'/si', $log, $matches);
switch($matches[2]) {
case 'Error: Fatal Error':
$type = 'fatal';
break;
case 'Error':
$type = 'error';
break;
case 'Notice: Notice':
$type = 'notice';
break;
case 'Warning: Warning':
$type = 'warning';
break;
default:
$type = 'unknown';
break;
}
return (object) af([
'datetime' => \Cake\I18n\FrozenTime::parse($matches[1]),
'type' => $type,
'error' => $matches[4],
'attributes' => empty($matches[6]) ? NULL : $matches[6],
'url' => empty($matches[9]) ? NULL : $matches[9],
'referer' => empty($matches[11]) ? NULL : $matches[11],
'stack_trace' => empty($matches[13]) ? (empty($matches[16]) ? NULL : $matches[16]) : $matches[13],
'trace' => empty($matches[15]) ? NULL : $matches[15]
]);
}, af(preg_split('/[\r\n]{2,}/', $logs)));
For now I do the opposite: I read the logs (already written) and with a regex I transform them into an array.
The problem is this is terribly expensive. and that it would be better to do the opposite: to write directly to the logs as a serialized array.
Ok, that's it!
(note that this code is absolutely experimental, I have yet to test it properly)
One interesting thing that I want to do: for each log, write to the serialized file and also simultaneously in a plan file. This allows me either to read logs as a plain text file, or they can be manipulated using the serialized file.
use Cake\Log\Engine\FileLog;
class SerializedLog extends FileLog {
protected function _getLogAsArray($level, $message) {
$serialized['level'] = $level;
$serialized['datetime'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
//Sets exception type and message
if(preg_match('/^(\[([^\]]+)\]\s)?(.+)/', $message, $matches)) {
if(!empty($matches[2]))
$serialized['exception'] = $matches[2];
$serialized['message'] = $matches[3];
}
//Sets the exception attributes
if(preg_match('/Exception Attributes:\s((.(?!Request URL|Referer URL|Stack Trace|Trace))+)/is', $message, $matches)) {
$serialized['attributes'] = $matches[1];
}
//Sets the request URL
if(preg_match('/^Request URL:\s(.+)$/mi', $message, $matches)) {
$serialized['request'] = $matches[1];
}
//Sets the referer URL
if(preg_match('/^Referer URL:\s(.+)$/mi', $message, $matches)) {
$serialized['referer'] = $matches[1];
}
//Sets the trace
if(preg_match('/(Stack )?Trace:\n(.+)$/is', $message, $matches)) {
$serialized['trace'] = $matches[2];
}
$serialized['full'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s').' '.ucfirst($level).': '.$message;
return (object) $serialized;
}
public function log($level, $message, array $context = []) {
$message = $this->_format(trim($message), $context);
$filename = $this->_getFilename($level);
if (!empty($this->_size)) {
$this->_rotateFile($filename);
}
$pathname = $this->_path . $filename;
$mask = $this->_config['mask'];
//Gets the content of the existing logs and unserializes
$logs = @unserialize(@file_get_contents($pathname));
if(empty($logs) || !is_array($logs))
$logs = [];
//Adds the current log
$logs[] = $this->_getLogAsArray($level, $message);
//Serializes logs
$output = serialize($logs);
if (empty($mask)) {
return file_put_contents($pathname, $output);
}
$exists = file_exists($pathname);
$result = file_put_contents($pathname, $output);
static $selfError = false;
if (!$selfError && !$exists && !chmod($pathname, (int)$mask)) {
$selfError = true;
trigger_error(vsprintf(
'Could not apply permission mask "%s" on log file "%s"',
[$mask, $pathname]
), E_USER_WARNING);
$selfError = false;
}
return $result;
}
