RL - Request Logger

Request Logger Pro logs HTTP requests in Joomla! for debugging and monitoring

The system plugin Request Logger Pro logs HTTP requests to the Joomla! website to separate log files in the logs folder.

It records the request method, URL, IP address, time of the request, and the payload (HTTP request variables and the body content). The plugin helps debug and monitor the communication between the Joomla! website and external services.

Features

• Logs all HTTP requests to a Joomla! website
• Saves request data to separate log files in the logs folder
• Records request method, URL, IP address, timestamp, and payload (including variables and body content)
• Helps debug and monitor communication with external services
• Suitable for development or debugging environments (logs may include sensitive data)

Installation

Install Request Logger with the help of the Installer component as usual. Then configure and activate the plugin in System -> Plugins -> System - Request Logger Pro - RL.

Note: The plugin stores all transmitted values, including sensitive data. You should only use it in development or debugging mode.

Where to find the log files?

The files are stored with the HTTP method in the name into the log folder in the administrator path:

/administrator/logs/requestLogger[METHOD].php

[METHOD] is replaced with the corresponding HTTP request method: GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, PATCH and OPTIONS.
