Inappropriate Log Level (ARCH7161)

Key php.logging.inappropriate-log-level · Severity info · Category logging

Logging errors at info/debug level (or routine flow at error) causes warnings to be lost and produces alert noise.

Incorrect

<?php
try {
    $this->process($job);
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
    $this->logger->info('Job failed', ['exception' => $e]);
}

Correct

<?php
try {
    $this->process($job);
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
    $this->logger->error('Job failed', ['exception' => $e]);
}

Fix

Match the log level to the event’s severity: error for failures, info for normal flow.
