Problem/Motivation

The dblog was ported from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 following some general guidelines, but in general is far to be as extensible and object oriented like other Drupal 8 modules from core.

Proposed resolution

There are several front of actions to modernize this module. The plan is to have at least a set of this changes ready to include in 8.4.x.

Additionally to this there are some ideas to convert the logs into entities #2401463: Make dblog entities. This makes sense to get better integration with views and if a module swap the logger.dblog service could have immediate views support. That issue also points to have a custom service for "fast writing", I think we already have that in Drupal\dblog\Logger\DbLog::log.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

None

API changes

  • Api addition: A new storage backend for Drupal\dblog\Logger\dblog.
  • dblog_filters and _dblog_get_message_types deprecated.
  • A new trait to create fake log entries.

Data model changes

Maybe a rename of the watchdog table.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to add my suggestion, but it'd be great to have some filter/search capacity out of the box. Say,

* Filter by date range
* Search for text (I understand that this is complicated given the way log messages are translated, but I'm just thinking aloud).

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
