Handlers

Log Handlers allow you to save log entries in whatever way you please. Adding your own log handlers has never been so easy.

Create your handler (maybe in app/Handlers directory?). As an example, lets create a log handler that overrides the current built in database handler.

Note: Adding your own handlers does not override the standard Laravel logger. All log entries will still be created inside your .log files on your server.

namespace App\Handlers;

use App\Models\Log;
use Monolog\Handler\AbstractHandler;

class DatabaseLoggerHandler extends AbstractHandler
{
    /**
     * Adds a log record to the database through eloquent.
     *
     * @param array $record
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function handle(array $record = [])
    {
        $model = new Log();

        $model->message     = array_get($record, 'message');
        $model->context     = array_get($record, 'context');
        $model->level       = array_get($record, 'level');
        $model->level_name  = array_get($record, 'level_name');
        $model->channel     = array_get($record, 'channel');
        $model->generated   = array_get($record, 'datetime');
        $model->extra       = array_get($record, 'extra');

        if($model->save() && $model->exists) {
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
}

Then add the handler to the config/log-reader.php file:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Log Handlers
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you may configure the monolog handlers for handling all log entries.
|
| By default, the EloquentHandler is included.
|
*/

'handlers' => [
    
    App\Handlers\DatabaseLoggerHandler::class,

],

Now you're all set! Anytime a log record is generated, it will be sent to your handler.
