WordPress System Logger

Prerequisites

Features

  • Send activity log events to either:
    • syslog (default), or
    • STDOUT / php://stdout (useful for containerized deployments where container logs are collected).
  • Configurable log ident/tag (default: ProperLog) used as the syslog ident and prepended to STDOUT messages.

Installation

  1. Install and activate the Activity Log plugin.
  2. Copy this plugin into your wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate it.
  3. Configure destination and tag at Settings → Proper Log.

Defaults

  • Destination: syslog
  • Log tag/ident: ProperLog

These defaults are created on plugin activation if the options are not present.

Rsyslog Configuration

(optional) To send WordPress events to their own system log. On a system running rsyslog, update /etc/rsyslog.conf to contain the following in the RULES portion of the config.

# Logging for WordPress applications
local0.*                                                /var/log/wp_event_log

Restart rsyslog to apply the configuration change.
