Is there a known good way to keep Multiple Servers Logging for Cakephp

Cake PHP stores everything under the /app/tmp/logs folder and if you have multiple servers to see what is happening at each you have to check on each server logs folder.

Is there an开发者_开发百科y solution that I can use with cakephp to centralize in one place the logging for Cakephp with the log files being saved and reset in a daily basis.

Cake allows you to set a parameter in the Controller::log() function.

Basically, when you have an error:

$this->log( 'some message describing the error', 'allserverslog' );
// second param can also be LOG_ERROR or LOG_DEBUG, 2 predefined constants that identify the default logging files

Some quick research shows that a clean method would be to redefine the TMP constant (by default define('TMP', APP.'tmp'.DS)) in /app/webroot/index.php to point the whole temp directory someplace else. This is not a good solution if the folder is supposed to be shared though, since different apps may step on each others feet with their temp files.

The only apparent way to point only the log directory someplace else seems to be to edit /cake/config/paths.php.

If your goal is only to make it easy to skim through log files of different apps quickly, you could simply put a bunch of symlinks to those logs into one directory.
Or, the other way around, you can make each /app/tmp/logs folder a symlink to some shared folder. Not sure I'd recommend that though; having different apps write to the same log may get confusing, since you may not always be sure which app a message came from.
