Clear log file using laravel method ?

Do you mean an artisan command?

Artisan command or Log facade's method ?

If you're having a space problem you can try using daily logs, it will automatically keep last X days of log (default 5). You can see it in Errors & Logging - Log Storage.

Otherwise you can simply remove the storage/logs/laravel.log file or make a command to do so (like php artisane log:clear).

Thank you, I'll try to make an artisan command.

Hi, just in case somebody still needs one... here's a working implementation, just create a command and add this handle method

in config/filesystems.php add new disk (log)

 'log' => [
     'driver' => 'local',
     'root' => storage_path('logs'),
 ]

In the Job

    
public function handle()
{
    $files = Arr::where(Storage::disk('log')->files(), function($filename) {
        return Str::endsWith($filename,'.log');
    });


    $count = count($files);

    if(Storage::disk('log')->delete($files)) {
        $this->info(sprintf('Deleted %s %s!', $count, Str::plural('file', $count)));
    } else {
        $this->error('Error in deleting log files!');
    }

}

@pettturu , you have the best answer here. This came in very handy.

First, run command "php artisan make:command Log/ClearLogFile" to create custom command file.

Then, open file on "Console/Commands/Log/ClearLogFile.php" (depends on you Laravel version, currently I'm using 5.5 version)

After that, you need to define the custom command code.

You can run this cmmand

• echo "" > storage/logs/laravel.log
