Laravel Pail - The easiest way to tail your log files

---



Laravel Pail is a package that allows you to easily dive in and tail your application's log files. Pail is designed to work with any log driver, be super easy to remember, and provide a set of useful filters to help you quickly find what you're looking for.





Installing Laravel Pail




Installation is as easy as requiring the package from Composer:
composer require laravel/pail



Then start it to begin tailing your logs:
php artisan pail



Laravel Pail has some flags that allow you to filter log messages in useful ways:


Filter logs by exception type


php artisan pail --filter="QueryException"



Filter by message


php artisan pail --message="User created"



Filter by Log level


php artisan pail --level=error



You can use any of the levels: emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, info, and debug.


Filter by User ID


php artisan pail --user=1



The source code is available on GitHub at laravel/pail, and you can view the full documentation on the Laravel site.
