Logger

MediaWiki.Logger.LoggerFactory implements a PSR-3 compatible message logging system.

Named Psr.Log.LoggerInterface instances can be obtained from the MediaWiki.Logger.LoggerFactory::getInstance() static method. MediaWiki.Logger.LoggerFactory expects a class implementing the MediaWiki.Logger.Spi interface to act as a factory for new Psr.Log.LoggerInterface instances.

The "Spi" in MediaWiki.Logger.Spi stands for "service provider interface". An SPI is an API intended to be implemented or extended by a third party. This software design pattern is intended to enable framework extension and replaceable components. It is specifically used in the MediaWiki.Logger.LoggerFactory service to allow alternate PSR-3 logging implementations to be easily integrated with MediaWiki.

The service provider interface allows the backend logging library to be implemented in multiple ways. The $wgMWLoggerDefaultSpi global provides the classname of the default MediaWiki.Logger.Spi implementation to be loaded at runtime. This can either be the name of a class implementing the MediaWiki.Logger.Spi with a zero argument constructor or a callable that will return an MediaWiki.Logger.Spi instance. Alternately the MediaWiki.Logger.LoggerFactory::registerProvider() static method can be called to inject an MediaWiki.Logger.Spi instance into the LoggerFactory and bypass the use of the default configuration variable.

The MediaWiki.Logger.LegacySpi class implements a service provider to generate MediaWiki.Logger.LegacyLogger instances. The MediaWiki.Logger.LegacyLogger class implements the PSR-3 logger interface and provides output and configuration equivalent to the historic logging output of wfDebug, wfDebugLog, wfLogDBError and wfErrorLog. The MediaWiki.Logger.LegacySpi class is the default service provider defined in MainConfigSchema.php. It's usage should be transparent for users who are not ready or do not wish to switch to a alternate logging platform.

The MediaWiki.Logger.MonologSpi class implements a service provider to generate Psr.Log.LoggerInterface instances that use the Monolog logging library. See the PHP docs (or source) for MediaWiki.Logger.MonologSpi for details on the configuration of this provider. The default configuration installs a null handler that will silently discard all logging events. The documentation provided by the class describes a more feature rich logging configuration.
