README

OXS Heartbeat is an OXID eShop module that enables remote monitoring and support for OXID shops.

It provides:

• Request Logger: Detailed request logging with correlation ID tracking
• Log Sender: Collect and provide log files to external monitoring systems
• Diagnostics Provider: Shop diagnostic information (modules, PHP, server)
• API User: Secure GraphQL API access for OXID Support

All components are accessible via GraphQL API, allowing OXID Support to remotely analyze shop issues without direct server access.

Full Control: Remote access is completely optional. Each component can be enabled/disabled independently by the shop operator. No data is transmitted unless explicitly activated. Access can be revoked at any time.

Installation

Step 1: Install via Composer

Live

composer config repositories.oxid-support/heartbeat vcs https://github.com/oxid-support/heartbeat-module
composer require oxid-support/heartbeat

Dev

Module Information

• Module ID: oxsheartbeat
• Module Title: OXS :: Heartbeat
• Version: 1.0.0
• Author: [e-mail]
• Supported OXID Versions: 7.1+
• PHP Version: 8.0 - 8.4

Local Storage Only: This module writes logs exclusively to server's local filesystem (OX_BASE_PATH/log/oxs-heartbeat/). No data is transmitted to external services or third parties.

Components

The Heartbeat module consists of several components:

1. API User

Manages the API user for remote access to Heartbeat components. Required for all remote-enabled components (Request Logger, Log Sender, Diagnostics Provider). Set this up first.

2. Request Logger

Records controller actions, request parameters and the classes loaded during the lifecycle of a request to local log files. Includes GraphQL API for remote configuration.

3. Log Sender

Collects log files from various sources and provides them to external monitoring systems via GraphQL API.

4. Diagnostics Provider

Provides shop diagnostic information (modules, PHP config, server info) via GraphQL API.

All components can be enabled/disabled independently via the Admin interface under OXS :: Heartbeat.

Features

Request Logger Features

• Request Route Logging

  • Records controller (cl) and action (fnc)
  • Logs referer, user agent, GET and POST parameters
  • Configurable redaction: Choose between redacting all values (default) or selective redaction of sensitive parameters
  • Keys always remain visible for diagnostics
  • Arrays/objects converted to JSON (no length limits)
  • Scalar values logged unchanged when selective redaction is enabled

• Correlation ID Tracking

  • Unique ID assigned to each request for tracing across multiple requests
  • Correlation ID transmitted via HTTP header (X-Correlation-Id) and cookie
  • Cookie TTL: 30 days (2592000 seconds)
  • Allows tracking user sessions and multi-step flows
  • Each log file named by correlation ID for easy request grouping

• Symbol Tracking

  • Tracks all classes, interfaces, and traits declared during the request
  • Preserves the exact load order
  • Filters:
    • Removes OXID module aliases (*_parent)
    • Removes legacy lowercase aliases (oxuser, oxdb, …)
    • Removes aliases without a file (class_alias, eval)
  • Produces a raw list of FQCNs (fully-qualified class names)

• Request Finish Logging

  • Duration in ms (durationMs)
  • Memory usage in MB (memoryMb)

• Security & Privacy

  • Default maximum privacy: All parameter values redacted by default
  • Optional selective redaction: Configure specific sensitive parameters (passwords, tokens, IDs) to mask
  • No session secrets or authentication data in logs
  • All logs stored locally on server filesystem only
  • No data transmission to external services

Remote Configuration (via GraphQL API)

• Query and modify all Request Logger settings remotely
• Activate/deactivate logging via API
• Authenticate via JWT with dedicated API user
• Requires API User setup

Module Configuration

The module provides configurable settings accessible via OXID Admin under OXS :: Heartbeat.

API User Setup (Required First)

Navigate to: OXS :: Heartbeat → API User → Setup

The API User is required for all components that need remote access. Follow the setup workflow:

1. Migrations: Ensure database migrations are executed
2. GraphQL Base: Ensure GraphQL Base module is activated
3. Setup Token: Copy the setup token and send it to OXID Support
4. Activation: Wait for OXID Support to set the API password

Once complete, the API User status shows "Active" and other components can be enabled.

Request Logger Settings

Navigate to: OXS :: Heartbeat → Request Logger → Settings

Note: Requires API User setup to be complete.

1. Component Activation

• Toggle to enable/disable the Request Logger component

2. Log Frontend Requests

• Default: false (disabled)
• Enable logging for frontend (shop) requests

3. Log Admin Requests

• Default: false (disabled)
• Enable logging for admin panel requests

4. Detailed Logging

• Default: false (disabled)
• When enabled, additionally logs symbol tracking (request.symbols) showing all classes/interfaces/traits loaded during the request

5. Redact all values

• Default: true (enabled)
• When enabled, redacts ALL request parameter values (GET/POST) in logs, showing only parameter keys
• When disabled, only parameters listed in the "Redact Fields" setting are masked

6. Redact Fields

• Default: ['pwd', 'lgn_pwd', 'lgn_pwd2', 'newPassword']
• List of parameter names (case-insensitive) whose values should be masked as [redacted] in logs
• Only applies when "Redact all values" is disabled

Log Sender Settings

Navigate to: OXS :: Heartbeat → Log Sender → Manage

Note: Requires API User setup to be complete.

• Component Activation: Toggle to enable/disable the Log Sender
• Log Sources: View all recognized log sources with availability status
• Source Toggle: Enable/disable individual log sources for sending
• Static Paths: Configure additional log files or directories to monitor

Log sources can be registered via:

• DI Tag Provider: Services implementing LogPathProviderInterface with tag oxs.logsender.provider
• Static Paths: Manual configuration in the admin interface

Diagnostics Provider Settings

Navigate to: OXS :: Heartbeat → Diagnostics Provider → Manage

Note: Requires API User setup to be complete.

• Component Activation: Toggle to enable/disable the Diagnostics Provider

Provides the following information via GraphQL API:

• Shop details (URL, edition, version, statistics)
• Installed modules
• System information
• PHP configuration
• Server information

Correlation ID System

The module implements a sophisticated correlation ID system that tracks requests across multiple page loads and API calls.

How It Works

1. ID Resolution: The system attempts to resolve an existing correlation ID from:
   • HTTP Header X-Correlation-Id
   • Cookie X-Correlation-Id
   • If neither exists: Generate new UUID v4
2. ID Emission: The correlation ID is returned to the client via:
   • HTTP Response Header: X-Correlation-Id: <id>
   • Cookie: X-Correlation-Id=<id>; Max-Age=2592000; Path=/; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax
3. Log Association: All log entries include the correlation ID in the context field

Use Cases

• Multi-step User Flows: Track a user's journey from product page → cart → checkout → order completion
• Error Debugging: When a user reports an error, search logs by their correlation ID to see all recent actions
• Session Analysis: Group logs by correlation ID to analyze complete user sessions (up to 30 days)

Log Events

A request usually emits three entries:

1. request.start

Content:

• HTTP method, URI, referer, user agent
• Redacted GET/POST parameters (sensitive values masked)
• Shop context: version, edition, shopId, shopUrl, language
• Session/user info: sessionId, userId, username
• Request metadata: IP address, PHP version
• Correlation ID for tracing

2. request.symbols

• Array of all newly declared FQCNs (fully-qualified class names) in load order
• Only logged when "Detailed Logging" is enabled
• Useful for diagnosing template/render paths and module extension chains

3. request.finish

• Request duration in milliseconds (durationMs)
• Peak memory usage in megabytes (memoryMb)

Output Location & Format

File Location

Logs are written to:

OX_BASE_PATH/log/oxs-heartbeat/oxs-heartbeat-<CorrelationID>.log

File Organization

• One file per correlation ID - All requests sharing the same correlation ID write to the same file
• Multiple entries per file - Each request typically creates 2-3 entries: request.start, request.symbols (if detailed), request.finish
• Monolog Line Format - Each log entry follows Monolog's standard format: [timestamp] channel.LEVEL: message {json_context}

Each .log file contains newline-separated log entries in Monolog's format. The context data is JSON-encoded, making it parseable by log analysis tools.

GraphQL API

The Heartbeat module provides GraphQL APIs for remote management of all components.

Authentication

1. During module activation, an API user ([e-mail]) is created
2. To enable remote access, use the setup token from the Admin interface to set the API user password (via OXID Support: [e-mail]) Note: The API user is only used for remote access of the Heartbeats data through the OXID Support and access can be revoked at any time.

Available Operations

Request Logger:

• Query and modify logging settings
• Activate/deactivate the Request Logger component

Log Sender:

• Query available log sources
• Read log file contents

Diagnostics Provider:

• Query shop diagnostics (modules, PHP config, server info)

Testing

Tests run standalone without requiring a full OXID shop installation. The module uses oxideshop-ce as a dev dependency to provide the necessary framework interfaces.

Setup

cd repo/oxs/heartbeat
composer install

Run Tests

./vendor/bin/phpunit --configuration tests/phpunit.xml

Test Coverage

The test suite includes unit tests for all components. Some integration tests (e.g., ModuleEvents) are skipped in standalone mode as they require a full shop context.
