Laravel Telescope Entries.

Hello, please I'm using Laravel Telescope as my debugger.

Is it possible to store all the entries to a file and not to a database?

Reason being on production we have lots of users, so the DB gets massive quickly.

To resolve this we prune every 5 mins, but in cases where we want to get a log of 2 days ago, it's quite impossible as the data is gone.

So is it possible to get all the entries to be recorded in a file instead?

or is there a better alternative to telescope that still has it's great features?

Thanks.

you should find out why it so massive log and fix it if due to error, or could consider to filter only those data you interested in...

@siangboon it's massive because we have a lot of users using the application, and the application makes lots of API calls, and we log every api call and response.

Is there a way to store all the entries to file instead of DB?

perhaps may consider turn it off... the server log and laravel log should be pretty enough for monitoring... turn it on when only you need debugging again...
