How to use Elasticsearch and PHP to build a highly available logging system

Introduction:
Logs are a very important part of the application, recording key information during program execution for subsequent analysis and troubleshooting. As the size and complexity of applications increases, the amount of logs increases significantly, so building a highly available logging system becomes critical. This article will introduce how to use Elasticsearch and PHP to build a highly available logging system, and provide corresponding code examples.

1. Installing Elasticsearch
   First you need to install Elasticsearch and ensure that Elasticsearch has been started. You can choose the corresponding installation method according to different operating systems. Please refer to the official Elasticsearch documentation for details.

2. Install the PHP client of Elasticsearch
   You can use Composer to install the PHP client of Elasticsearch. Execute the following command in the project directory:

   composer require elasticsearch/elasticsearch

3. Connect to Elasticsearch
   In the PHP code, add the following code to connect to Elasticsearch:

   require 'vendor/autoload.php';
   
   $client = ElasticsearchClientBuilder::create()
            ->setHosts(['localhost:9200'])
            ->build();

4. Create index and mapping
   In Elasticsearch, log data can be stored according to a certain structure to facilitate subsequent query and analysis. The following is an example for creating an index named "log" that contains timestamp, log level and log information:

   $params = [
    'index' => 'log',
    'body' => [
        'mappings' => [
            'properties' => [
                'timestamp' => ['type' => 'date'],
                'level' => ['type' => 'keyword'],
                'message' => ['type' => 'text']
            ]
        ]
    ]
   ];
   
   $response = $client->indices()->create($params);

5. Write log
   Use the following code example , you can write log data into Elasticsearch:

   $params = [
    'index' => 'log',
    'body' => [
        'timestamp' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
        'level' => 'info',
        'message' => 'This is a log message'
    ]
   ];
   
   $response = $client->index($params);

6. Query log
   Use the following code example to query log data that meets the conditions:

   $params = [
    'index' => 'log',
    'body' => [
        'query' => [
            'match' => [
                'level' => 'error'
            ]
        ]
    ]
   ];
   
   $response = $client->search($params);

7. High availability configuration
   In order to ensure the high availability of the log system, the cluster mode of Elasticsearch can be used. For specific operations, please refer to the official Elasticsearch documentation.

Summary:
By using Elasticsearch and PHP, we can easily build a highly available logging system. First install and connect Elasticsearch, then create indexes and mappings, and finally implement writing and query functions. Through high-availability configuration, the availability and fault tolerance of the log system can be further guaranteed. I hope this article will be helpful to everyone in building a logging system.

(Note: The above code examples are for reference only, and the specific code implementation needs to be modified and optimized according to actual needs.)
