A lightweight Laravel package for cleaning old entries from storage/logs/laravel.log based on a specified number of days to preserve.

Ideal for large log files containing thousands of lines.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Cleans only storage/logs/laravel.log
- Preserves recent logs
- Supports dry-run mode
- Creates backup files
- Memory-efficient stream processing
- Safe for large log files

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require uwakmfon1/laravel-logs-cleanup
```

Publish Configuration
---------------------

[](#publish-configuration)

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-logs-cleanup-config"
```

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

[](#configuration)

File:

```
config/logs-cleanup.php

```

Example:

```
return [

    'log_file' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),

    'temp_file' => storage_path('logs/laravel-temp.log'),

    'create_backup' => true,
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Clear entire log file

[](#clear-entire-log-file)

```
php artisan logs:clear
```

### Clear old logs, keep recent days

[](#clear-old-logs-keep-recent-days)

Keep logs from the last 3 days:

```
php artisan logs:clear --except=3
```

Dry Run
-------

[](#dry-run)

Preview cleanup without deleting logs:

```
php artisan logs:clear --dry-run
php artisan logs:clear --except=3 --dry-run
```

How it Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

The package:

1. Reads laravel.log line-by-line
2. Detects log timestamps
3. Removes entries older than the cutoff date
4. Writes valid logs into a temporary file
5. Replaces the original log safely

This prevents memory exhaustion on large log files.

Supported Log Format
--------------------

[](#supported-log-format)

```
[2026-05-23 10:30:22] local.ERROR: Something happened

```

Example Output
--------------

[](#example-output)

```
Cleaning logs older than 3 days...

Backup created successfully.

Removed: 85,421 lines
Kept: 14,579 lines

Log cleanup completed successfully.

```

Local Package Development
-------------------------

[](#local-package-development)

Inside another Laravel app:

```
composer config repositories.logs-cleaner path ../laravel-logs-cleanup

```

Install Locally:

```
composer require uwakmfon1/laravel-logs-cleanup:dev-main

```
