Stream current log to storage folder - laravel

Question

I am running my Laravel 7 application for testing purposes on a shared host.
My logging.php configuration looks like the following:
<?php
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
use Monolog\Handler\SyslogUdpHandler;
return [
'default' => env('LOG_CHANNEL', 'single'),
'channels' => [
'stack' => [
'driver' => 'stack',
'channels' => ['daily'],
'ignore_exceptions' => false,
],
'single' => [
'driver' => 'single',
'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
'level' => 'error',
],
'daily' => [
'driver' => 'daily',
'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
'level' => 'debug',
'days' => 14,
],
'slack' => [
'driver' => 'slack',
'url' => env('LOG_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL'),
'username' => 'Laravel Log',
'emoji' => ':boom:',
'level' => 'critical',
],
'papertrail' => [
'driver' => 'monolog',
'level' => 'debug',
'handler' => SyslogUdpHandler::class,
'handler_with' => [
'host' => env('PAPERTRAIL_URL'),
'port' => env('PAPERTRAIL_PORT'),
],
],
'stderr' => [
'driver' => 'monolog',
'handler' => StreamHandler::class,
'formatter' => env('LOG_STDERR_FORMATTER'),
'with' => [
'stream' => 'php://stderr',
],
],
'syslog' => [
'driver' => 'syslog',
'level' => 'debug',
],
'errorlog' => [
'driver' => 'errorlog',
'level' => 'debug',
],
],
];
I only get the log file from the day before in my storage folder. However, I would like to get the logs that are created when the application runs, like a log stream.
Any suggestions how to do this?
I appreciate your replies!

Answer 1

so far, I am new to logs too. The two lines below can be added to any controller
use Log; #on top along with the other 'use' statements
this 2nd line would be inserted as needed:
Log::info('File: '. __FILE__. ' This would get logged on file: storage/laravel.log');
The result is appended onto laravel.log and would be similar to:
[2020-07-11 05:08:38] local.INFO: File: C:\<someFolders>\laravel\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Routing\Route.php This would get logged on file: storage/laravel.log
'hope it helps.
