Laravel Telegram logger

Send logs to Telegram chat via Telegram bot

Install

composer require stucchi/laravel-telegram-logging

Define Telegram Bot Token and chat id (users telegram id) and set as environment parameters. Add to .env

TELEGRAM_LOGGER_BOT_TOKEN=id:token
TELEGRAM_LOGGER_CHAT_ID=chat_id

Add to config/logging.php file new channel:

'telegram' => [
    'driver' => 'custom',
    'via'    => Logger\TelegramLogger::class,
    'level'  => 'debug',
]

If your default log channel is a stack, you can add it to the stack channel like this

'stack' => [
    'driver' => 'stack',
    'channels' => ['single', 'telegram'],
]

Or you can simply change the default log channel in the .env

LOG_CHANNEL=telegram

Publish config file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider "Logger\TelegramLoggerServiceProvider"

Telegram Logging Formats

In version 1.3.3 a new Logging Format Engine based on blade templates has been introduced. While off the shelf the behavior is exactly the same as before, you can choose among two different formats that you can specify in the .env file like this :

# Use a minimal log template
TELEGRAM_LOGGER_TEMPLATE = laravel-telegram-logging::minimal

# Or use the backward compatible one (default setting used even without inserting this row)
TELEGRAM_LOGGER_TEMPLATE = laravel-telegram-logging::standard

It is possible to create other blade templates and reference them in the TELEGRAM_LOGGER_TEMPLATE entry

Create bot

For using this package you need to create Telegram bot

1. Go to @BotFather in the Telegram
2. Send /newbot
3. Set up name and bot-name for your bot.
4. Get token and add it to your .env file (it is written above)
5. Go to your bot and send /start message

Lumen support

To make it work with Lumen, you need also run two steps:

1. Place config/telegram-logger.php file with following code:

<?php

return [
    // Telegram logger bot token
    'token' => env('TELEGRAM_LOGGER_BOT_TOKEN'),

    // Telegram chat id
    'chat_id' => env('TELEGRAM_LOGGER_CHAT_ID')
];

2. Uncomment $app->withFacades(); and configure the file $app->configure('telegram-logger'); at bootstrap/app.php
3. Place default Laravel/Lumen logging file to config/logging.php (to add new channel).
