netojose/laravel-log-viewer
===========================

[](#netojoselaravel-log-viewer)

A Laravel 11+ package for viewing, filtering, downloading and clearing application log files — directly in the browser.

[![image](./_screenshots/screenshot.png)](./_screenshots/screenshot.png)

Features
--------

[](#features)

- View and parse `storage/logs/laravel.log` (and additional log files)
- Filter entries by log level (EMERGENCY, ALERT, CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG)
- Pagination for large log files
- Download any log file
- Clear (truncate) any log file
- Route protection via Laravel Gate
- Pure HTML/CSS UI — zero JavaScript/CSS framework dependencies
- Publishable config and views

---

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP `^8.2`
- Laravel `^11.0 || ^12.0 || ^13.0`

---

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require netojose/laravel-log-viewer
```

The service provider is registered automatically via Laravel's package auto-discovery.

### Publish the config (optional)

[](#publish-the-config-optional)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=log-viewer-config
```

This copies `config/log-viewer.php` to your application's config directory.

### Publish the views (optional)

[](#publish-the-views-optional)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=log-viewer-views
```

---

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

After installation, visit:

```
http://your-app.test/log-viewer

```

---

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

[](#configuration)

```
// config/log-viewer.php

return [

    // Enable or disable the log viewer entirely
    'enabled' => env('LOG_VIEWER_ENABLED', true),

    // URL prefix for all routes
    'prefix' => env('LOG_VIEWER_PREFIX', 'log-viewer'),

    // Middleware applied to all routes (authorization middleware is appended automatically)
    'middleware' => ['web'],

    // Gate name used for authorization (set to null to disable)
    'gate' => 'viewLogViewer',

    // Extra log files to expose (storage/logs/laravel.log is always included)
    'logs' => [
        // 'Worker'    => storage_path('logs/worker.log'),
        // 'Scheduler' => storage_path('logs/scheduler.log'),
    ],

    // Entries per page
    'per_page' => env('LOG_VIEWER_PER_PAGE', 50),

];
```

---

Authorization
-------------

[](#authorization)

By default, the `viewLogViewer` gate allows access **only in the `local` environment**. In any other environment (staging, production) access is denied with a 403.

To customize access, define the gate in your `AppServiceProvider` (or any service provider):

```
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

public function boot(): void
{
    Gate::define('viewLogViewer', function ($user) {
        return in_array($user->email, [
            'admin@example.com',
        ]);
    });
}
```

To allow access for guests (unauthenticated users), accept a nullable user:

```
Gate::define('viewLogViewer', function (?User $user) {
    // custom logic
    return true;
});
```

To **disable** gate checks entirely, set `'gate' => null` in your config.

---

Adding extra log files
----------------------

[](#adding-extra-log-files)

Any entry in the `logs` config key becomes available in the log viewer:

```
'logs' => [
    'Worker'    => storage_path('logs/worker.log'),
    'Scheduler' => storage_path('logs/scheduler.log'),
    'Nginx'     => '/var/log/nginx/error.log',
],
```

> **Security note:** Only files explicitly listed in the config can be accessed. User input is never used to derive file paths.

---

Available Routes
----------------

[](#available-routes)

MethodURINameDescriptionGET`/log-viewer``log-viewer.index`List all log filesGET`/log-viewer/{file}``log-viewer.show`View log entries (`?level=ERROR&page=2`)GET`/log-viewer/{file}/download``log-viewer.download`Download log fileDELETE`/log-viewer/{file}``log-viewer.destroy`Clear (truncate) log file---

Disabling the package
---------------------

[](#disabling-the-package)

Set the environment variable:

```
LOG_VIEWER_ENABLED=false
```

Routes will not be registered and the viewer will return 404.
