Logerrors is a Grav Plugin and records not found 404 errors to data folder.
Installing the Logerrors plugin can be done in one of two ways. Our GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method enables you to quickly and easily install the plugin with a simple terminal command, while the manual method enables you to do so via a zip file.
The simplest way to install this plugin is via the Grav Package Manager (GPM) through your system's Terminal (also called the command line). From the root of your Grav install type:
bin/gpm install logerrors
This will install the Logerrors plugin into your /user/plugins directory within Grav. Its files can be found under /your/site/grav/user/plugins/logerrors.
To install this plugin, just download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. Then, rename the folder to logerrors. You can find these files either on GitHub or via GetGrav.org.
You should now have all the plugin files under
/your/site/grav/user/plugins/logerrors
NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which requires Grav, the Error, the Admin and Data Manager plugins, and a theme to be installed in order to operate.
Logerrors runs in the background and most of the time you will not know it is there. Although as soon as a 404 page not found is detected by the error plugin, the logerrors plugin will save the url, time and referer(if exists) to a data folder.
When enabled the Logerrors plugin will save data to two files:
-
/user/data/logerrors/notfound.txtThis file logs all 404 erros, it will save the url, the time and the HTTP_REFERER (if it exists). -
/user/data/logerrors/summary_notfound.txtThis file will count the repetitive from the notfound.txt file and present it as a summary.
the folder name and the file name can be changed in configuration file or in the admin.
When the log file is saved to the data folder in the yaml format, then data can be easily read in the Admin Data Manager section.
Simply copy the user/plugins/logerrors/logerrors.yaml into user/config/plugins/logerrors.yaml and make your modifications.
enabled: true // Enable or disable plugin
filename: notfound.txt // override default file name
folder: logerrors // override default folder name
Updating Problems is easy, and can be done through Grav's GPM system, as well as manually.
The simplest way to update this plugin is via the Grav Package Manager (GPM). You can do this with this by navigating to the root directory of your Grav install using your system's Terminal (also called command line) and typing the following:
bin/gpm update logerrors
This command will check your Grav install to see if your Logerrors plugin is due for an update. If a newer release is found, you will be asked whether or not you wish to update. To continue, type y and hit enter. The plugin will automatically update and clear Grav's cache.
Manually updating Problems is pretty simple. Here is what you will need to do to get this done:
- Delete the
your/site/user/plugins/logerrorsdirectory. - Downalod the new version of the Logerrors plugin from either GitHub or GetGrav.org.
- Unzip the zip file in
your/site/user/pluginsand rename the resulting folder tologerrors. - Clear the Grav cache. The simplest way to do this is by going to the root Grav directory in terminal and typing
bin/grav clear-cache.
Note: Any changes you have made to any of the files listed under this directory will also be removed and replaced by the new set. Any files located elsewhere (for example a YAML settings file placed in
user/config/plugins) will remain intact.
