New Relic log forwarding not working on non-development environments

Hi!

We’re experiencing an odd issue: log forwarding to New Relic isn’t working for staging and production environments. Our sites are built on Sage with Bedrock.

Log forwarding and error inbox do work for development, and server logging to logs/debug.log is also working as expected on staging and production.

If staging’s .env is changed from ‘staging’ to ‘development’, log forwarding and error inbox begin to work as expected.

We suspect the code that turns off Sage’s error handler for staging and production is also disabling Monolog, which is required for New Relic log ingestion.

We need New Relic log forwarding to work, while also not writing logs to the theme folder.

In addition, we needed to update Monolog to 2.9.1 and added it as a dependency to Bedrock. I believe that one of the Sage vendor dependencies requires Monolog, "monolog/monolog": ">=1.8,<1.12", but the version wasn’t conflicting with the one required by New Relic.

Hoping that someone has experienced a similar issue, and/or can provide some context. Thanks!

For additional context, Sage version is older based on 10.0.0-beta.1, but with some updates.

Here’s Sage’s composer.json
