Setting up multiple log directories in Stripe - laravel

Question

I have my logging set up like this in Laravel:
'default' => env('LOG_CHANNEL', 'stack'),
'stack' => [
'driver' => 'stack',
'channels' => ['daily'],
'ignore_exceptions' => false,
],
'single' => [
'driver' => 'single',
'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
'level' => 'debug',
],
'daily' => [
'driver' => 'daily',
'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
'level' => 'debug',
'days' => 14,
'permission' => 0666,
],
This creates logs for each day in storage/logs.
Now, what I want to do, is send only the log messages from my scheduled tasks to a separate log directory altogether. For example, to storage/logs/cron. But I want to keep the other messages in the current setup.
How do I make this happen? I've tried creating a new channel in config but it still logs the messages in the same files.

Answer 1

You can create a new channel in config/logging.php. Ie:
'cronjob' => [
'driver' => 'single',
'path' => storage_path('logs/cronjob.log'),
'level' => 'debug',
],
And then you can use it in your command (or anywhere) adding the channel method:
Log::channel('cronjob')->info('Command started. ');
If you want to log exceptions use a try/catch:
try {
// ...
} catch (\Exception $exception) {
Log::channel('cronjob')->error($exception);
}
