Rotate Laravel logs files and compress

This package allows you to rotate the Laravel record file with compression. This method is useful if you use logger channel single (StreamHandler)

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require cesargb/laravel-logs-rotate

Usage

At this moment, every day at 00:00 your application executes a schedule to rotate the Laravel record files.

Configuration

If you need to change the frequency or another function, you can modify the config file.

You can publish config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cesargb\LaravelLog\RotateServiceProvider" --tag=config

This is the contents of the published config/rotate.php config file:

<?php

return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Compression Enable
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This option defines if the file rotated must be compressed.
    | If you prefer not compress file, set this value at false.
    */
    'log_compress_files' => true,

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Schedule Rotate
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Determine when must be run the cron.
    | You can disable the schedule change the option enable at false.
    | You can change the frequency with option cron.
    |
    */
    'schedule' => [
        'enable'    => true,
        'cron'      => '0 0 * * *',
    ],

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Max Files Rotated
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This value determine the max number of files rotated in the archive folder.
    |
    */
    'log_max_files' => env('LOG_MAX_FILES', 30),

   /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Minimum Log File Size
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This value determines the minimum size (in bytes) that a log file must
    | have before it can be rotated. Files smaller than this size will not
    | be rotated. Set to 0 to disable this check and rotate regardless of size.
    |
    */
    'log_min_size' => env('LOG_MIN_SIZE', 0),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Truncate Log file
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This option defines if the log file must be truncated after rotated.
    | If you prefer not truncate file, set this value at false.
    */
    'truncate' => env('LOG_TRUNCATE', true),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Other files to rotated
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Array the other foreign files
    |
    | Example:
    |   'foreign_files' => [
            storage_path('/logs/worker.log')
    |   ]
    |
    */
    'foreign_files' => []
];

Performance Tip for Monolog 3.10+

If you are using monolog/monolog:^3.10 or higher, you can disable the truncate option for more efficient log rotation:

'truncate' => false,

With Monolog 3.10+, the rotation process is optimized and truncating is no longer necessary, resulting in better performance. For more details, see monolog PR #1963.

Command

You have a command to rotate other files, rotate:files

php artisan rotate:files --help
