Lightweight fast PHP Logging

Question

Suppose we need to log some data on every php call on each request being made to the server on a high traffic- request heavy web application, to basically trace the actions taken by each client. I was considering saving them to memory and then logging all in one go to prevent frequent disk access. Is there a Php framework which already does this which I can reuse? I need to do this on the actual production server so I dont want to use stuff like xdebug.

Answer 1

I would use apc_store, i use it for light php request time analyzer

Answer 2

Redis would be my suggestion.

There is a php library Rediska, that makes use of Redis server. At some point data can be dumped to db, i.e. when server load isn't at it highest.
