\#Logger

Logger complements or replaces standard Laravel logging. It logs to local files and optionally provides email alerts.

\###Installation

Register the service provider:
`DestherCZ\Logger\LoggerServiceProvider::class,`

Add facade reference:
`'Logger' => DestherCZ\Logger\LoggerFacade::class,`

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Publish the configuration file with: `php artisan vendor:publish --provider=DestherCZ\Logger\LoggerServiceProvider`.

- `'laravel' => true,` captures Laravel log facade messages
- `'folder' => 'custom'` sets the default subfolder for custom logs
- `'daily' => []` list of log files to be handled as daily logs
- `'max_daily' => 7` maximum number of daily log files to keep
- `'email.send' => false` turns sending of error emails on/off
- `'email.level' => 'ERROR'` sets the level at which email notifications are sent
- `'email.recipient' => 'recipient@example.com',` sets the email recipient

### Usage

[](#usage)

Use the facade to write to custom log files. By default files are stored in `storage/logs/custom`:

```
Logger::info('auth', 'User login from 1.2.3.4');
Logger::warning('audit', 'A record was updated');
Logger::error('exceptions', 'Fatal exception: ');

```

If you wish to store a logfile in a subfolder, use dot notation:

```
Logger::info('audit.auth', 'User login from 1.2.3.4'); // Logs to `storage/logs/custom/audit/auth.log`

```

A `requestInfo()` method is available to provide context for the message, including IP address, request type/URL, `Auth::user()->id` and input data

```
Logger::warning('audit', 'An unusual request', Logger::requestInfo());

```

Fatal errors occurring during the logging process, are stored in `storage/logs/fatal-logger-errors.log`. For example, a message will be logged here when the system is unable to send an error notification.

### Hook into Laravel exceptions:

[](#hook-into-laravel-exceptions)

Make sure the `logger.laravel` configuration option is set to true, and update your error handler:

```
// app/Exceptions/Handler.php
use Logger;

public function report(Exception $e)
{
    $class = (new \ReflectionClass($e))->getShortName();
    Logger::error('exceptions', "Exception {$class} | {$e->getMessage()}", Logger::requestInfo());
    return parent::report($e);
}

```

### Email alerts

[](#email-alerts)

Emails are only triggered if email sending is turned on, `app.debug` is false and the relevant error level meets the requirement. The Laravel mail system must be configured for emails to function.

### Database handler

[](#database-handler)

- Add the table using `php artisan logger:migration` and `php artisan migrate`
- Use the config file to set which channels should be logged to the database
- You may now query the database using the Eloquent model `DbEntry`
