=======================

[](#laravel-database-logger)

Laravel logs to database table via custom Monolog channel + Eloquent model.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- Run `composer require adamcrampton/laravel-database-logger` in your project directory
- Add library service provider `AdamCrampton\LaravelDatabaseLogger\LogServiceProvider::class` to `config\app.php`
- Run `php artisan migrate` to set up the `logs` table
- In `config\logging.php`, add a new channel for the custom logs:

```
    'database' => [
        'driver' => 'custom',
        'via' => \AdamCrampton\LaravelDatabaseLogger\Services\LogMonoLog::class
    ]
]

```

- Update the log stack array in `config\logging.php` to include the new channel:

```
'stack' => [
    'driver' => 'stack',
    'channels' => ['daily', 'database'],
],
'database' => [
    'driver' => 'custom',
    'via' => \AdamCrampton\LaravelDatabaseLogger\Services\LogMonoLog::class
],

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

A scheduled task is bundled with the package, which will delete rows in the `logs` table older than the expiration setting. To use this:

- Run `php artisan vendor:publish` to publish the `database_logger.php` config file to your project
- Run `php artisan config:cache` to ensure the project config is up to date
- Set the expiration length (in days) in your project's `config/database_logger.php` file
- Add an entry to the `app/Console/Commands/Kernel.php` file to schedule the cron job, something like: `$schedule->command('logs:prune')->dailyAt('07:45');`

To run the command manually: `php artisan logs:prune`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The package is pretty much a custom channel for Monolog, so you can use the existing facade and methods.

These columns are automatically populated when adding to the log:

- `description` The log message
- `origin` The origin value from the request header
- `type` Log type (`log`, `store`, `change`, or `delete`)
- `result` Log result (`success`, `neutral`, or `failure`)
- `level` Log message level (`emergency`, `alert`, `critical`, `error`, `warning`, `notice`, `info`, or `debug`)

Additionally, you can pass in a `category` and `sub_category` value, which will be saved to those columns when generating a log entry. Example:

`Log::info('test', ['category' => 'This is a category', 'sub_category' => 'This is a subcategory]);`
