Hi  
I need to use syslog in production environment. what i have to do to enable this feature in cakephp 3.x?

But now i have used normal file log and write arl error in the error.log file. This is configured like this what i am giving in following

‘Log’ =\> [  
‘debug’ =\> [  
‘className’ =\> ‘Cake\Log\Engine\FileLog’,  
‘path’ =\> LOGS,  
‘file’ =\> ‘debug’,  
‘levels’ =\> [‘notice’, ‘info’, ‘debug’],  
],  
‘error’ =\> [  
‘className’ =\> ‘Cake\Log\Engine\FileLog’,  
‘path’ =\> LOGS,  
‘file’ =\> ‘error’,  
‘levels’ =\> [‘warning’, ‘error’, ‘critical’, ‘alert’, ‘emergency’],  
],  
],

would i have to delete this code if i want to implement syslog or anything else? please advice me.

Got solution like that

To enable the syslog past the following code in the config/app.php file

‘Log’ =\> [‘error’ =\> [ ‘engine’ =\> ‘Syslog’, ‘levels’ =\> [‘emergency’, ‘alert’, ‘critical’, ‘error’], ‘format’ =\> “%s: My-App - %s”, ‘prefix’ =\> ‘Web Server 01’, ] ],

remember comments the normal error configurations as well. you can use log function to write error.
