Laravel Telegram logger

Send logs to Telegram chat via Telegram bot

Install

composer require grkamil/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 and views

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

Telegram Logging Formats

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

Change log template at runtime

1. Change config for template.

config(['telegram-logger.template'=>'laravel-telegram-logging::custom'])

2. Use Log as usual.

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).
