DESCRIPTION
Logging is an absolute must for any API or web application, but when starting out, questions such as "how can we do it without disrupting everything else" and "what is the easiest way to log" often come up. We’re going to examine a tried and tested method to carry out high-performance, low-latency logging using the power of RabbitMQ to ensure minimal impact to the performance of your runtime application. The talk will show you that a really great logging architecture is a low-cost investment in your application that will definitely pay off in the long run.

Who is this guy?
Let’s go back to basics...
Errors
source: http://www.dpaddbags.com/blog/episode-119-technology-sucks/
error_reporting(0);
They look rubbish!
@
Log to file only
Ways Around// Will raise E_WARNING
fopen($somefile, 'r');
Ways Around// No error! :)
if (file_exists($somefile)) {
fopen($somefile, 'r');
} else {
// nice handling...
// maybe throw exception...
}
Exceptions
Jargon Buster
● throwTriggering
● tryTry to run
● catchHandle it
● finallyRun code after try/catch

C♯/C++
Catchable
Turn into fatal errorsif not caught
Classy
Descriptive exceptions
Example (exception class)class DivisionByZeroException
extends LogicException
{
}
Example (throw)class Mathematics {
public function divide($a, $b) {
if ($b == 0) {
$msg = sprintf(“Divide %s by zero”, $a);
throw new DivisionByZeroException($msg);
}
return ($a / $b);
}
}
Example (catch)$maths = new Mathematics();
try
{
$result = $maths->divide(5, 0);
}
catch (DivisionByZeroException $exception)
{
$logger->warning($exception->getMessage());
}
Throw Descriptively

What is “logging”?
What is “logging”?Keeping a record of all events...
What is “logging”?Keeping a record of all events...
exceptions, errors, warnings, info, debug

Log like you just don’t care

Log wherever you like
What about Apache’s error_log?

Doin’ it rightwrong… // Magic file that makes your entire project work perfectly
@ini_set('display_errors', 0);
@error_reporting(0);
function __globalErrorHandler() {
return true;
}
@set_error_handler('__globalErrorHandler');
@set_exception_handler('__globalErrorHandler');
@register_shutdown_function(function() {
if(error_get_last())
echo "Script executed successfully!";
}); https://github.com/webarto/boostrap.php
