Laravel Log Keeper helps rotating your logs while storing them anywhere you want with custom local/remote retention policies.

A typical usage of Laravel Log Keeper would be to set a cron job to run daily and store local logs in a S3 bucket, (s)ftp, Dropbox or any other FileSystem driver

You can define a local and/or a remote retention and/or upload after remote days, which by default is 7, 30 and 1 day subsequently.

- Files older than 1 day will be compressed and uploaded to remote disk.
- Local files older than 7 days removed from local disk.
- Remote files older than 31 (remote days+upload after days) days will be permanently deleted from the remote disk.

### Highlights

[](#highlights)

- Have full control of where/when/how you archive your logs
- Prevent your server from running out of space
- Custom retention policies for Local and Remote archiving

...

```

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider=LifeOnScreen\LaravelLogKeeper\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider

```

Config file:

```
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Enable or Disable the Laravel Log Keeper.
    // If it is set to false, no operations will be performed and it will be logged
    // if the logs are enabled
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'enabled'                     => env('LARAVEL_LOG_KEEPER_ENABLED', true),

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Enable or Disable the Laravel Log Keeper for remote operations.
    // if it is set to false, the local files older than the local retention will be
    // delete without being uploaded to the remote disk
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'enabled_remote'              => env('LARAVEL_LOG_KEEPER_ENABLED_REMOTE', true),

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Where in the remote location it will be stored. You can leave it blank
    // or specify a custom folder like proj1-prod or proj1-integ so that you could
    // use the same s3 bucket for storing the logs in different environments
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'remote_path'                 => rtrim(env('LARAVEL_LOG_KEEPER_REMOTE_PATH'), '/'),

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // How many days a file will be kept on the local disk before
    // being uploaded to the remote disk.
    // Default is 7 days.
    // Local files with more than 7 days will be compressed using bzip2 and uploaded
    // to the remote disk. They will also be deleted from the local disk after being
    // uploaded
    // If value is set to 0 logs will be kept forever.
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'local_retention_days'        => env('LARAVEL_LOG_KEEPER_LOCAL_RETENTION_DAYS', 7),

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // When file be uploaded to remote location.
    // Default is 1 day.
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'upload_to_remote_after_days' => env('LARAVEL_LOG_KEEPER_UPLOAD_TO_REMOTE_DAYS', 1),

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // How many days a file will be kept on the remote for.
    // The days here means days after the upload on server. So 30 would actually
    // 30 + 1 = 31
    // Only files older than 31 days would be deleted from the remote disk
    // If value is set to 0 logs will be kept forever.
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'remote_retention_days'       => env('LARAVEL_LOG_KEEPER_REMOTE_RETENTION_DAYS', 30),

    'remote_retention_days_calculated' =>
        env('LARAVEL_LOG_KEEPER_REMOTE_RETENTION_DAYS', 30) +
        env('LARAVEL_LOG_KEEPER_UPLOAD_TO_REMOTE_DAYS', 1),

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Which config/filesystems.php disk will be used for remote disk.
    // This would be typically a AWS S3 Disk, (s)ftp, Dropbox or any other configured
    // disk that will store the old logs
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'remote_disk'                      => env('LARAVEL_LOG_KEEPER_REMOTE_DISK'),
