To create custom Log file using Laravel, in order to track your errors or custom logs, we can use Log facade. Simply include in your controller and use it like this:
<?php
use Log;
class SocialAuth extends Controller
{
public function FuncName(Request $request){
// log something to storage/logs/laravel.log
Log::info(['Request'=>$request]);
}
}
?>
If you need tosvae this log to a different file you can use useDailyFiles() function just before Log line:
<?php
use Log;
class SocialAuth extends Controller
{
public function FuncName(Request $request){
// log something to storage/logs/debug.log
Log::useDailyFiles(storage_path().'/logs/debug.log');
Log::info(['Request'=>$request]);
}
}
?>
The logger provides the eight logging levels defined in RFC 5424: emergency, alert, critical, error,warning, notice, info and debug:
Log::emergency($error); Log::alert($error); Log::critical($error); Log::error($error); Log::warning($error); Log::notice($error); Log::info($error); Log::debug($error);
