I am using laravel 4.1. and my log file app/storage/logs/laravel.log has gotten huge in production. I have been checking documentation and some posts here on laracasts, but they are all about laravel 5 and up.
In the app/config/app.php there is no 'Logging Configuration' like there is in laravel 5.
How do I enable log rotation in laravel 4.
Can someone please help?
You could edit app/start/global.php, and find something like this
Log::useFiles(storage_path().'/logs/laravel.log');
Change to this
Log::useDailyFiles(storage_path().'/logs/laravel.log');
For more information read https://laravel.com/docs/4.2/errors#configuration
Great! thanks man. can I do weekly log rotation?
You could also take a look at the log rotation service on your server. Here's a sample config: https://gist.github.com/Repox/e6cbee28c4310c3885e9
Thanks. but isn't there a laravel call like useDailyFiles that I can use like useWeeklyFiles, that will rotate the log every week?
