Laravel has a brilliant handler for exceptions and reporting, and the Monolog implementation is second to none.

Now, we'll get it piping logs to [Papertrail!](https://papertrailapp.com/?thank=221c03)

Other implementations have you editing your rsyslog.conf file, but that's not always an option of you can't SSH into the server, plus, it turns on the firehose of things that aren't necessarily related to your app.

First, add the `Travoltron\Laratrail\LaratrailServiceProvider::class,` to `config/app.php` and you're all set.

Second, call `php artisan vendor:migrate` to publish the config file.

End of the gif, I highlighted a url that was in the format of `logsX.papertrailapp.com:XXXXX`

Finally, you'll need these to add to your .env file:

- `PAPERTRAIL_DOMAIN` to logsX.papertrailapp.com, replacing X with what returns when you add a log destination. Leave off the port and colon.
- `PAPERTRAIL_PORT` to the port of your log destination (that's the part after, but not including `:`).

Thats all.

For further instructions on logging see the [official documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/errors#logging)
