Screenshots ----------- [](#screenshots) [![Exception with a Caused-by chain](docs/screenshots/exception-with-cause.png)](docs/screenshots/exception-with-cause.png) *A domain-level error wrapping a vendor-side cause — env header, request context, app-frame Location, stack trace, and the chained `Caused by`.* [![Critical alert with rich JSON context](docs/screenshots/critical-with-context.png)](docs/screenshots/critical-with-context.png) *`Log::critical(...)` with a structured context array — rendered as pretty-printed JSON.* [![Database query exception](docs/screenshots/query-exception.png)](docs/screenshots/query-exception.png) *`Illuminate\Database\QueryException` with the SQL embedded in the message and a `Caused by PDOException` in the trace below (cropped).* What you get ------------ [](#what-you-get) Every error sent to Slack includes: - **Color sidebar** per log level (warning / error / critical / emergency) - **Header** with severity emoji, level, and exception class (or message) - **Environment line**: `local · MyApp · a1b2c3d (main) · host: web-1` - **Message** in a code block - **Location** — the first non-vendor stack frame with `file:line — Class::method()`, plus a separate "Thrown at" line if the throw site differs - **Request context** for HTTP requests: method, URL, route name, IP, authenticated user, user-agent - **Console context** for artisan commands: full command line - **Stack (app frames)** — top frames excluding `vendor/` and entry points - **Caused by** chain — each previous exception rendered with the same Location-style format - **Context** — any `Log::error('msg', [...context])` array, pretty-printed JSON - **Footer** with timestamp Long fields are automatically truncated with a `… (truncated)` marker so messages never blow Slack's block size limits. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.2+ - Laravel 11, 12, or 13 - A Slack [Incoming Webhook URL](https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks) Install ------- [](#install) ``` composer require justrau/laravel-pretty-slack-logs ``` Configure --------- [](#configure) Add a channel to `config/logging.php`: ``` use JustRau\PrettySlackLogs\Channel; return [ 'channels' => [ 'stack' => [ 'driver' => 'stack', 'channels' => ['daily', 'pretty-slack'], 'ignore_exceptions' => false, ], 'pretty-slack' => [ 'driver' => 'custom', 'via' => Channel::class, 'url' => env('LOG_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL'), 'level' => env('LOG_SLACK_LEVEL', 'error'), ], ], ]; ``` Then add to `.env`: ``` LOG_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ LOG_SLACK_LEVEL=error ``` That's it. Errors logged at or above `LOG_SLACK_LEVEL` will be posted to Slack. Usage ----- [](#usage) Anything that hits the configured channel gets formatted automatically: ``` // Throws → caught by Laravel's exception handler → reported to the stack channel throw new RuntimeException('Boom'); // Reported manually report(new DomainException('handled but worth flagging')); // Direct logger calls with context Log::error('Failed to send notification', [ 'user_id' => 42, 'channel' => 'email', 'attempt' => 3, ]); // Direct to this channel Log::channel('pretty-slack')->critical('Payment processor unreachable', [ 'provider' => 'stripe', 'amount' => 12345, ]); ``` Configuration options --------------------- [](#configuration-options) KeyDefaultDescription`url`*none*Slack webhook URL.
