How to Define a Custom Logging Formatter
Each logging handler uses a Formatter
to format the record before logging
it. All Monolog handlers use an instance of
Monolog\Formatter\LineFormatter
by default but you can replace it.
Your formatter must implement Monolog\Formatter\FormatterInterface
.
For example, to use the built-in JsonFormatter
, register it as a service then
configure your handler to use it:
- YAML
- XML
- PHP
