ElasticsearchLogstashHandler
----------------------------

.. versionadded:: 4.4

The ``ElasticsearchLogstashHandler`` was introduced in Symfony 4.4.

This handler deals directly with the HTTP interface of Elasticsearch. This means
it will slow down your application if Elasticsearch takes times to answer. Even
if all HTTP calls are done asynchronously.

In a development environment, it's fine to keep the default configuration: for
each log, an HTTP request will be made to push the log to Elasticsearch.

In a production environment, it's highly recommended to wrap this handler in a
handler with buffering capabilities (like the ``FingersCrossedHandler`` or
``BufferHandler``) in order to call Elasticsearch only once with a bulk push. For
even better performance and fault tolerance, a proper `ELK stack`_ is recommended.

To use it, declare it as a service:


.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml

# config/services.yaml
services:
Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Handler\ElasticsearchLogstashHandler: ~

.. code-block:: xml

<!-- config/services.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:monolog="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog/monolog-1.0.xsd">

<services>
<service id="Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Handler\ElasticsearchLogstashHandler"/>
</services>
</container>

.. code-block:: php

// config/services.php
use App\Logger\SessionRequestProcessor;
use Monolog\Formatter\LineFormatter;
use Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Handler\ElasticsearchLogstashHandler;

$container->register(ElasticsearchLogstashHandler::class);

Then reference it in monolog configuration:


.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml

# config/packages/prod/monolog.yaml
monolog:
handlers:
es:
type: service
id: Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Handler\ElasticsearchLogstashHandler

.. code-block:: xml

<!-- config/packages/prod/monolog.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:monolog="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog
https://symfony.com/schema/dic/monolog/monolog-1.0.xsd">

<monolog:config>
<monolog:handler
name="es"
type="service"
id="Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Handler\ElasticsearchLogstashHandler"
/>
</monolog:config>
</container>

.. code-block:: php

use Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Handler\ElasticsearchLogstashHandler;
// config/packages/prod/monolog.php
$container->loadFromExtension('monolog', [
'handlers' => [
'es' => [
'type' => 'service',
'id' => ElasticsearchLogstashHandler::class,
],
],
]);
