    'max_files' => 5,

    /*

];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This packages provides a middleware which can be added as a global middleware or as a single route.

```
// in `app/Http/Kernel.php`

protected $middleware = [
    // ...

    \Chelout\HttpLogger\Middlewares\HttpLogger::class
];
```

```
// in a routes file

Route::post('/submit-form', function () {
    //
})->middleware(\Chelout\HttpLogger\Middlewares\HttpLogger::class);
```

In order to log http requests you should add log custom log channel:

```
// in config/logging.php

return [
    // ...

    'channels' => [
        // ...

        'http-logger' => [
            'driver' => 'custom',
            'via' => \Chelout\HttpLogger\Loggers\HttpLogger::class,
        ],
    ],
];
```

You can also enhance existing log channel by customizing Monolog configuration:

```
// in config/logging.php

return [
    // ...

    'channels' => [
        // ...

        'single' => [
            'driver' => 'single',
            'tap' => [Chelout\HttpLogger\Loggers\MonologCustomizer::class],
            'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
            'level' => 'debug',
        ],
    ],
];
```
