How to Disable Microseconds Precision (for a Performance Boost)

New in version 2.11

The use_microseconds option was introduced in MonologBundle 2.11.

Setting the parameter use_microseconds to false forces the logger to reduce the precision in the datetime field of the log messages from microsecond to second, avoiding a call to the microtime(true) function and the subsequent parsing. Disabling the use of microseconds can provide a small performance gain speeding up the log generation. This is recommended for systems that generate a large number of log events.
