A php implementation to send log-files to a gelf compatible backend like Graylog2. This library conforms to the PSR standards in regards to structure (0), coding-style (1, 2) and logging (3).
It's a loosely based on the original Graylog2 gelf-php and mlehner's fork.
This implementation became the official PHP GELF library on 2013-12-19 and is now released as graylog2/gelf-php v1.0.
The old library became deprecated at the same time and it's recommended to upgrade.
Since the deprecated library never got a stable release, we decided keep it available as v0.1. This means:
If you have a project based on the deprecated library but no time to upgrade to version 1.0, we recommend to change your
composer.json as following:
"require": {
// ...
"graylog2/gelf-php": "0.1.*"
// ...
}
After running an additional composer update everything should work as expected.
Add gelf-php to composer.json:
"require": {
// ...
"graylog2/gelf-php": "~1.0"
// ...
}
Reinstall dependencies: composer install
