Cannot use all syslog levels with SyslogHandler about monolog HOT 4 CLOSED

The record comes from a Monolog record, so I don't see how your syslog handler could receive another log level. The SyslogHandler is about implementing a Monolog backend based on syslog, not about providing a direct PHP binding to syslog (use the built-in functions for this).

and skipping notice and emerf from the Monolog levels was an early design decision as @Seldaek considered that 8 log levels are generally useless (when do you need both alert and emerg in your app ?)

This is acceptable as long as this behavior is documented. The monolog doc requires some complementary information http://symfony.com/doc/master/cookbook/logging/monolog.html

the monolog docs are available in the Monolog repo (and can be browsed on github as they use markdown). What you linked is a cookbook in the Symfony2 doc, not the Monolog doc.

@jbq I added some docs in the README for clarity (see link above). If you want to get more stuff in the Symfony docs, please report an issue on https://github.com/symfony/symfony-docs or even send a pull request with improvements. Thanks.
