Bunyan VS Monolog

NodeJS -> Pino, Winston, Bunyan, Npmlog, e.t.c.

Bunyan is also another popular and fast JSON Node.js logging library. Just like Winston, it also supports logging into multiple transport options. Other features include a neat-printing CLI for logs, a log filter, serializers for rendering objects, snooping system, and the ability to support multiple runtime environments such as NW.js and WebPack. Bunyan enforces the JSON format for logs.

bunyan argues that logs should be structured and that JSON is a good format for that. It describes itself as a “simple and fast JSON logging library” and has all the features you would expect from a logging library, including serializers and support for different runtime environments including Node.js, Browserify and Webpack.

Suppose that after some time you decide that the winston logger library was not the best logger for your project and you want to use Bunyan, what do you do? You just need to create a BunyanLogger class that implements the ILogger interface and it is ready to be used by the UserService.

Bunyan: Another popular logging library that outputs in JSON by default.

Are there more options? Absolutely: Bunyan, Pino, and others. It depends on what your particular logging needs are.

With the increasing number of requests and possibly errors, we needed a proper logging setup to debug and monitor the service. That’s why we chose bunyan to log insightful data in our application. These logs sit conveniently on our new logging pipeline running on EFK (or, Elasticsearch Fluentd Kibana) stack. While this deserves a separate blog post on its own, let’s take a brief look at how the logs travel from our application to the kibana dashboard.

Bunyan — Another feature-rich logging framework that outputs in JSON by default and provides a CLI tool for viewing your logs.

To add onto this, what's more commonly done these days is to use a library like Monolog which can be configured with multiple log handlers. One of the handlers which are typically enabled is one which writes to error_log. You can add more which write directly to a logging service like Sentry or whatever, or even in dev write an HTTP header paired with a browser extension which puts your backend log messages in your browser console (see the handler + install the extension for chrome or firefox)

Monolog is a highly regarded PHP logging library with open source code. This project extends a straightforward and adaptable API, allowing developers to log messages from their PHP applications to diverse channels, including files, databases, and various third-party services. The modularity of this project’s source code provides an assortment of handlers and processors that seamlessly combine and configure to cater to specific logging requirements for any application.

If you need something more flexible you could always use Monolog which provides a bunch of adapters to log to any service want. You could for example use the syslog adapter to send your logs to syslog, and then configure rsyslog to print them directly into your terminal (or just `tail -f` a log file).

PHP -> Built in Logger, Monolog, Analog, KLogger, Log4PHP

So far, I've been discussing what PHP itself has to offer, which, quite frankly, is not very appealing. Luckily, though, there are great developers involved in pushing beyond those boundaries, making the appearance of great tools a reality. That is the case for Monolog.

Laravel (and many other frameworks) use the Monolog Package for logging by default. Using their formatter does everything you need!

Nowadays all popular frameworks comes with logging system built in. If not, you should use http://seldaek.github.io/monolog/.

Laravel logging is created on top of Monolog, which is a powerful logging library for PHP projects. In this guide, we will be looking at how to send our laravel logs to telegram channel with the help of the Telegram Bot API.
