Enable and Monitor `debug.log` #23

Closed kingkool68 closed 6 years ago

kingkool68 commented 7 years ago

The nginx error log is being monitored but WordPress' built in debug logging functionality would be another place to monitor for errors. To do this we need to modify wp-config.php so WP_DEBUG is enabled by default:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
if ( isset( $_GET['debug'] ) && $_GET['debug'] == '!wr8KCsv9V7%' ) {
    define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );
    define( 'SAVEQUERIES', true );
} else {
    define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
}

We also need to tell the AWS CloudWatch log monitor of the new log we want to track by appending a new config to /var/awslogs/etc/awslogs.conf

[/var/www/spiritedmedia.com/htdocs/wp-content/debug.log]
datetime_format = %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S 
file = /var/www/spiritedmedia.com/htdocs/wp-content/debug.log
buffer_duration = 5000
log_stream_name = spiritedmedia.com
initial_position = start_of_file
log_group_name = /var/www/spiritedmedia.com/htdocs/wp-content/debug.log

Be sure to stop and start the logging daemon:

sudo service awslogs stop then sudo service awslogs start
