📢 Laravel Telegram Logger

🚀 Laravel Telegram Logger is a package that sends Laravel log messages and exceptions to Telegram for real-time monitoring.

📌 Features

✅ Real-time logging to Telegram
✅ Supports all log levels (debug, info, warning, error, etc.)
✅ Automatic exception handling (captures error file, line, and message)
✅ Configurable log level filtering
✅ Silent notifications support (to avoid sound/vibration in Telegram)
✅ Minimal setup, easy to integrate
✅ Can be enabled/disabled via configuration

🛠 Installation

Require the package via Composer:

composer require marekmiklusek/telegram-logger

🔧 Configuration

Publish the package configuration:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=telegram-logger-config

This will create a config file at config/telegram-logger.php.

.env Configuration

Add your Telegram Bot API token and Chat ID to your .env file:

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=your_chat_id

Config File (config/telegram-logger.php)

return [
    'bot_token' => env('TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN'),
    'chat_id' => env('TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID'),
    'level' => 'error',
    'silent_notification' => false,
    'is_enabled' => true,
];

🏗 Usage

Basic Logging

Use Laravel's Log facade as usual, and errors will be sent to Telegram automatically:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;

Log::debug('Debug message');
Log::info('Info message');
Log::warning('Warning message');
Log::error('Error message');

Logging with Context

You can pass additional context to logs:

Log::error('User not found', ['user_id' => 42, 'action' => 'login']);

Logging Exceptions

Exceptions are automatically detected and logged:

try {
    throw new \Exception('Database connection failed!');
} catch (\Exception $exception) {
    Log::error('Unhandled exception occurred', ['exception' => $exception]);
}

⚙ How It Works

The package listens to Laravel's logging events and sends structured messages to Telegram.

🎯 Advanced Configuration

1️⃣ Logger Enablement

You can enable or disable the logger in config/telegram-logger.php:

return [
    'is_enabled' => false,
];

✅ If true, logs will be sent to Telegram as configured
✅ If false, the logger will be completely disabled (no logs sent)

2️⃣ Log Level Filtering

You can define the minimum log level in config/telegram-logger.php:

return [
    'level' => 'warning',
];

• debug: Logs everything
• info: Logs info, notice, warning, error, critical, alert, emergency
• error: Logs error, critical, alert, emergency
• critical: Logs only critical, alert, emergency

3️⃣ Silent Notifications

Enable silent notifications (no sound/vibration) in config/telegram-logger.php

return [
    'silent_notification' => true,
];

✅ If true, messages will be sent silently.
✅ If false, Telegram will send notifications normally.

💡 Troubleshooting

❓ Logs not appearing in Telegram?

1. Check that your .env values are correctly set:

php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache

1. Ensure your bot has permission to send messages to your chat.

❓ Getting "Chat not found" error?

• Make sure you have sent a message to your bot first.
• Use this tool to get your Chat ID.
