Plugin logging not appearing

Question

I am trying to log sone info on my plugins service work like below:

Craft::info(
  Craft::t('mapitapi',
          'Sleeping for 1 secs ..saved funding entry: ' . $element->id . ':' . $element->title . '| lsoa:' . $element->lsoacode),
           __METHOD__
         );

But nothing appears in the logs. Do i need to include something in the namespace? Or??

Answer 1

At first, I didn't internalize the substance of the log message, and assumed the logger was filtering out your statement due to the target's configured "levels."

However, considering that sleep() is typically avoided in user-facing web requests, it occurred to me that we're looking at some code that is in a queue job or console command.

Craft maintains a discrete log file for each context:

1. Web requests log to storage/logs/web.log;
2. Queue jobs (not really a "request type" per se) log to storage/logs/queue.log;
3. The CLI logs to storage/logs/console.log;

Some plugins or modules may create and log to other files, and via app.php, log targets can be configured to ignore or otherwise filter and redirect log statements based on the environment.
