PHP Logs Monitoring and Observability
Gain complete visibility into your PHP logs with real-time monitoring and advanced error tracking to optimize PHP performance and minimize downtime.
Gain comprehensive visibility into PHP application logs across Laravel, Symfony, and production stacks
Structured PHP error log analysis
Capture and parse PHP fatal errors, warnings, deprecation notices, and exceptions from error_log, Monolog channels, and framework-specific handlers. Correlate log events with request traces for complete failure context.
Framework-specific log parsing
Automatically structure Laravel channel logs, Symfony messenger queues, and WordPress debug output. Extract context like Eloquent queries, middleware execution, and Composer dependency failures from native PHP formats.
PHP request lifecycle monitoring
Track logs through complete PHP execution flow—from nginx/Apache access, PHP-FPM pool processing, application bootstrap, to response generation. Identify bottlenecks in slow database queries or heavy ORM operations.
Memory exhaustion & timeout detection
Monitor PHP memory_limit violations, execution time exceeded errors, and max_input_vars overflows. Surface slow Composer autoloads and circular references causing production OOM conditions.
Third-party service failure tracking
Capture Guzzle HTTP client errors, Redis connection timeouts, MySQL deadlocks, and Elasticsearch indexing failures logged by PHP applications. Link external dependency issues to specific application code paths.
Log-to-code stack trace correlation
Connect unstructured PHP logs directly to source code lines, PHPUnit test failures, and Artisan command outputs. Navigate from log events to exact controller methods, service classes, or trait implementations.
Production configuration drift alerts
Detect PHP ini setting mismatches between environments, unsafe opcache configurations, and disabled error reporting that hide production issues from development logs.
Real-time PHP-FPM pool insights
Monitor worker process crashes, slow request queues, pm.max_children exhaustion, and status page metrics alongside application logs for complete PHP execution visibility.
Understand PHP Log Behavior With Real-Time Insights in Atatus
Aggregate, parse, and analyze your PHP application logs so you can understand request behavior, timing patterns, and operational signals without manually inspecting raw files.
Raw Logs Do Not Reveal Trends
Individual PHP log lines are hard to interpret in isolation, and centralizing logs makes it easier to spot recurring patterns and behaviors.
Unstructured Logs Slow Troubleshooting
Plain text or mixed-format PHP logs are difficult to analyze, and structuring them into searchable fields enables faster debugging.
Important Events Get Lost in Volume
High log volume can bury meaningful errors or signals, and filters with saved views help focus on what actually matters.
Context Is Missing in File-Based Logs
Logs written to local files lack request or execution context, and correlating log entries provides clearer insight into application behavior.
Manual Log Search Does Not Scale
Searching through PHP log files across servers is slow and error-prone, while centralized search enables fast, time-based investigation.
