yii2-email-log-target

Custom version of yii\log\EmailTarget to exclude trace information from messages.

What & Why

The built in yii\log\EmailTarget class does a nice job of serializing and sending log and exception messages via email. Unfortunately when the message is an exception itself the exception is serialized to string using default \Exception::__toString() method which includes stack trace information. The Yii logger component allows configuration of whether or not to include trace information but it does not apply to exception messages.

This class is a modified version of yii\log\EmailTarget to ensure no trace information is set in the email.

Have the log prefix (if used)

Example configuration ['components']['log']['targets'] array):

[
    'class' => 'Sil\Log\EmailTarget',
    'levels' => ['error'],
    'except' => [
        'yii\web\HttpException:401',
        'yii\web\HttpException:404',
    ],
    'logVars' => [], // Disable logging of _SERVER, _POST, etc.
    'prefix' => function($message) use ($appEnv) {
        $prefix = 'env=' . $appEnv . PHP_EOL;

        // There is no user when a console command is run
        try {
            $appUser = \Yii::$app->user;
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $appUser = Null;
        }
        if ($appUser && ! \Yii::$app->user->isGuest){
            $prefix .= 'user='.\Yii::$app->user->identity->email . PHP_EOL;
        }

        // Try to get requested url and method
        try {
            $request = \Yii::$app->request;
            $prefix .= 'Requested URL: ' . $request->getUrl() . PHP_EOL;
            $prefix .= 'Request method: ' . $request->getMethod() . PHP_EOL;
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $prefix .= 'Requested URL: not available';
        }

        return PHP_EOL . $prefix;
    },
],
