调试Cakephp

Question

I have an issue with my Cakephp application. I find that once a day or maybe once every two days PHP will lock up and become unresponsive resulting the the process crashing and restarting.

From what i've read this may be caused by a method in an endless loop. As the application is very large is there anyway that I can capture activity of all my users in logs and see what methods arent finishing.

If anyone can suggest plugins, components or methodologies that I could use to do something like this. FYI I would like to avoid adding a log statement to every method in my application.

Additional Info:

1. Cakephp 2.1

2. Error Message in PHP error logs: PHP Fatal error:

   Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in ...lib\\Cake\\Model\\Datasource\\CakeSession.php on line 609

Answer 1

Have you considered writing custom log methods and simply catching cakephp's exceptions / errors? This would avoid you having to put log statements in every single place.

Depending on how large your application is you could look into implementing a nosql log system. couchbase with memcached ( http://www.couchbase.com/ ) to store all the logged events. Might be preferred to cakephp default of storing all log information in a large text file.
