@AdamSolaris Can you give me a use case? I want to avoid that our class here becomes sort of a template engine that does a lot of postprocessing. Even the replaceNewline parameter is already arguable. What is a "paragraph" in a log message?

Hi. I am using yii2-streamlog to send logs in stderr, where it is picked up by logstash container. The problem is, that if log message has break paragraph characters, it's split into several messages for logstash, but I have to process these logs as a single solid message

What do you mean paragraph characters? Isn't this just 2 newlines \n? In that case shouldn't replaceNewline help?

[AdamSolaris]

I mean \r\n

As you usually have control over the messages you log (e.g. with Yii:info()), just don't put any \r in there. I never heard that \r\n represents a paragraph. It's rather the linebreak used on Windows systems. You should not use this in your code. If you want to represent a paragraph then use 2 linebreaks \n\n instead.
