👍 I was waiting for that since I started working with Piwik and am surprised that it is still not there 👍 👍 👍 definitely needed for a proper logging setup

@Vebryn Thanks for the suggestion, a pull request would be very welcome :-)

+1 on this please

I can code up a pull request, but I'm not familiar with Matomo code -- can someone point me at where the SyslogHandler should be added, or analogous code for the DB/file logging setup?

Hi @mwithheld, a pull request would be appreciated, though technically this should be possible currently via dependency injection. You could add the handler by adding the following to the config/config.php file (create it if it's not there):

<?php

return [
    SyslogHandler::class => \DI\object()->constructor('ident...');

    'log.handlers' => \DI\decorate(function ($previous, ContainerInterface $container) {
        $previous[] = $container->get(SyslogHandler::class);
    }),
];

If you want to create a PR that allows setting it via INI config, you'd have to add an entry to 'log.handler.classes' in Monolog/config/config.php.

Fixed in #17764
