Logging Framework

• Chapter Quickstart helps to get going

TYPO3 Logging consists of the following components:

• A Logger that receives the log message and related details, like a severity

• A LogRecord model which encapsulates the data

• Configuration of the logging system

• Writers which write the log records to different targets (like file, database, rsyslog server, etc.)

• Processors which add more detailed information to the log record.
