Question: how to mute channels about monolog-bundle HOT 9 CLOSED

By default a channel that has no handler will use the "default" handler of monolog defined as such:

        if (!$this->handlers) {
            $this->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('php://stderr', static::DEBUG));
        }

In retrospect this sounds like a bad idea that should probably be removed in 2.0 :)

But that means for now yes you can define a mute handler like you did, or we could fix it in the bundle so that symfony adds a null handler by default to channels that have nothing, or it could even inject a Psr\Log\NullLogger instead of a monolog instance I suppose. But symfony until 3.0 has legacy stuff emerg/crit/err/warn in it's LoggerInterface so the null logger should probably be extended by the bundle as well to provide those.

Thanks for this excellent and very interesting answer! It explains a lot.

If you'd like to work on a PR that'd be great, otherwise let's leave this open for when someone has time.

HttpKernel already contains such a NullLogger btw

Ah right then it's an easier PR :)

I'll keep it in mind!

I mean - the "maybe create a PR" part ;)

fixed by #177 (I would have loved to read this before investigating the issue, it would have saved me some time :))

Thanks @fabpot, for the record monolog 2.0 doesn't do this default handler thing anymore, but it's not yet stable either.
