Logging and alerts

This is a collection of logging and alerts modules. The interface to the new custom logging watchdog hook.

Currently, the following modules are included:

• Email logging and alerts

Allows routing of watchdog messages to various email addresses, based on their severity levels. For example, emergency and critical messages need to go to a pager or mobile phone email address, while debug messages go nowhere.

• Web server logging

Allows routing of watchdog messages to the web server's error log. Note that what is in your PHP configuration for error_log defines where the message will go. For example, on a UNIX like system, this will be syslog(3), which may end up in /var/log/apache2/error.log, and on Windows, it would be the event log.

You define which severity levels are to go to the error log. For example, you can only specify that emergency and critical messages need to go to the error log, and use other modules for the other levels.

• Watchdog triggers (D7 only)

Provides a trigger for watchdog events. You may now trigger actions when an event occurs.

• Watchdog rules (D7 only)

Provides rules integration for watchdog events. You may now trigger additional ruleset responses when an event occurs.

Supported branches:

• 2.1.x branch supports Drupal 10.3 and 11. It is based on 2.0.x branch with some notable changes:
  • Support for Drupal 9 up to Drupal 10.2 was dropped.
  • It adds some new features.
• 2.0.x branch supports Drupal 9 and 10. Drupal 11 support will not be added. This branch is bug-fix only.
• 7.x-2.x branch supports Drupal 7. No new features will be added. Drupal 7 will reach end of support on January 5th, 2025. After January 5th and until such time as Drupal.org (D.O.) processes mark the branch as unsupported, there will be no further development except for critical bugs (or similar).
