Using syslog for your php applications
Date: 12 Jan 2011Tags: [ logging ] [ PHP ] [ syslog ]
Linux, and other unices have an excellent system to centralize log events. This is done through syslog. This system removes the need for every application to maintain their own log files and let the syslog server handle all the events. Depending on the type of event that is logged, it can take additional action like alerting you through email or even text-messaging if a critical event occurs. No system administrator can live without syslog and is normally the first place to look for signs of trouble on a system. So instead of writing our own log system for your application, why not use an existing one?
