ASA2 Advanced Log
ASA2 Advanced Log is an add-on plugin for ASA2 that provides advanced logging capabilities for your ASA2 installation. It replaces ASA2's default logger with a powerful, configurable logging system that supports multiple logging destinations simultaneously.
The add-on supports four logging destinations that can be used independently or combined:
- Database Logging — Stores log entries in your WordPress database with a built-in Log Viewer for browsing and searching.
- BetterStack (Logtail) — Sends logs to BetterStack's cloud-based log management service for centralized log aggregation.
- Sentry — Sends errors and exceptions to Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring.
- Slack — Sends real-time notifications to a Slack channel when important events occur.
How It Works
ASA2 Advanced Log hooks into ASA2's logging system and replaces the default logger with a Monolog-based logger. Once activated, all log messages from ASA2 are automatically routed to your configured destinations. No changes to your ASA2 setup are required — the plugin integrates seamlessly.
Each destination can have its own minimum log level, allowing you to fine-tune what gets logged where. For example, you can log everything to your database for debugging while only sending errors and critical issues to Slack for immediate attention.
