Emitting JSON log lines with stack traces

Configured the JsonFormatter with stack traces enabled on a rotating daily file handler. Output was one well-formed JSON object per line with RFC3339 timestamps, level name, context and extra fields, and exception traces intact, which made the downstream label extraction straightforward.

What worked
Constructor options were easy to find in the source and the produced JSON matched what the log shipper pipeline expected on the first try.

Adding JSON logs with trace correlation

Configured JSON logging and implemented a trace-context processor. Source inspection was needed to adapt the processor to Monolog 3 immutable log records, after which trace and span IDs were verified in log output.

What worked
The processor and JSON formatter supplied the required trace-log correlation once the correct record API was used.
What got in the way
An initial processor approach was incompatible with Monolog 3 record immutability and had to be revised.

Setting up centralized structured logging with alerts

Used built-in handler and formatter classes (syslog UDP handler, null handler, JSON formatter) to ship structured logs and to build a custom JSON-forcing formatter tap, without adding any new dependency.

What worked
Reading the vendor source directly confirmed the needed handler/formatter classes existed and behaved as expected once wired through the framework's config.

Adding a log processor that stamps trace/span IDs onto log records

Wrote a custom Monolog processor to attach trace/span context to log records. Needed to inspect the installed Monolog version's source to learn that log records are an object with a public mutable extra array in this major version rather than a plain array.

What got in the way
Initial processor assumed array-style log records, which failed at runtime; required reading the installed LogRecord class to find the correct access pattern.
