Hello,

I am trying to incorporate monolog into a non-symfony project. I need to capture the stack trace when an exception is logged.

Thus far it seems that I need to use the NormalizerFormatter instead of the LineFormatter. But I cannot figure out how to do that. Can some please assist? Many thanks in advance.

You can just call ->setFormatter() on any handler to change it's default formatter. In this case you would need to write your own I think because the normalizer one will just return an array of data so if you output it in a file you'll just get Array as output for every line, not very useful :)

Sounds like the thing you are searching for is IntrospectionProcessor. I think the issue tracker is not the right place to ask questions...

Simply pass the exception as message to the logger, this will call the exception's __toString() and give you a nice formatting including the stack trace.
