Properties summary

$_defaultssource

protected array

By default messages are formatted as: type: message

To override the log format (e.g. to add your own info) define the format key when configuring this logger

If you wish to include a prefix to all messages, for instance to identify the application or the web server, then use the prefix option. Please keep in mind the prefix is shared by all streams using syslog, as it is dependent of the running process. For a local prefix, to be used only by one stream, you can use the format key.

Example:

CakeLog::config('error', array(
        'engine' => 'Syslog',
        'types' => array('emergency', 'alert', 'critical', 'error'),
        'format' => "%s: My-App - %s",
        'prefix' => 'Web Server 01'
));

array(
    'format' => '%s: %s',
    'flag' => LOG_ODELAY,
    'prefix' => '',
    'facility' => LOG_USER
)

$_opensource

protected boolean

Whether the logger connection is open or not
