Error-Logger for Laravel

This package adds a basic logging channel that sends error logs to an email address, discord channel, whatsapp account, telegram chat and a (github/gitlab) issue.

Prerequisites

• A configured default Laravel mail driver
• PHP 8.2 or higher
• Laravel 10.0 or higher

Installation

composer require sytxlabs/laravel-error-logger

Configuration

To configure your Laravel application to use the logger, you should create a logging channel in your logging.php configuration file.

For example a stack channel that logs to the default stack and sends email notifications:

return [
    // ...
    'channels' => [
        // ...    

        'error-log' => [
            'driver' => 'monolog',
            'handler' => \SytxLabs\ErrorLogger\Logging\Monolog\ErrorLogHandler::class,
        ],
    ],
    // ...    
];

You may then set the logging channel in your .env file or as the default logging channel in your logging.php.

LOG_CHANNEL=error-log

Customization

The library offers some customization for the default error-log channel via a config.

It's also possible to publish the configuration for this package with the artisan vendor:publish command.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=error-logger-config

Formatters

Every log type accepts its own formatter option, which replaces the Monolog formatter used for that type:

return [
    // ...
    'file' => [
        'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
        'formatter' => \Monolog\Formatter\JsonFormatter::class,
    ],
    // ...
];

The option accepts three kinds of values:

Anything that cannot be resolved to a Monolog\Formatter\FormatterInterface is ignored and the default formatter of that type is used, so a broken formatter configuration never breaks logging itself.

Closures inside a config file prevent php artisan config:cache from working. If you cache your configuration, use a class name and bind the formatter in a service provider instead.

The defaults per type are:

The webhook type has no formatter option; its payload is built from the format option (json, form, xml, none) instead.

Known issues

Mail drivers using a 'log' transport

Mail drivers using a \Illuminate\Mail\Transport\LogTransport transport are not supported and the EmailHandler will fall back to a NoopHandler.

However, this automatic fallback currently only works if the selected driver directly uses a LogTransport. If you for example set a RoundRobinTransport with a LogTransport mail driver, it will end up in an infinite recursion loop.
