laravel-telegram-logger

Send Laravel error logs to a Telegram chat, group, or supergroup topic via a Telegram Bot. Built as a Monolog driver so it plugs into the standard Laravel logging stack — no custom exception-handler hacks required.

Features

• Native Monolog handler — works with the Log facade and config/logging.php channels.
• Rate limiting / de-duplication to prevent alert storms (cache-backed signature hash).
• Topic / thread routing for Telegram supergroups (message_thread_id per log level).
• 4096-character safe truncation so verbose stack traces never get rejected by Telegram.
• Optional queue dispatch so the request lifecycle is never blocked by Telegram API latency.
• HTML-escaped output by default — safe with parse_mode=HTML.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Laravel ^10.0 | ^11.0 | ^12.0
• Monolog ^3.0

Installation

composer require ashishgusai/laravel-telegram-logger

Publish the config (optional, but recommended):

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

Configuration

Add the following to your .env:

TELEGRAM_LOG_BOT_TOKEN="123456789:ABCdefGhIJKlmNoPQRsTUVwXyz"
TELEGRAM_LOG_CHAT_ID="-1001234567890"
TELEGRAM_LOG_ENABLED=true

# Optional — supergroup topic routing
TELEGRAM_LOG_DEFAULT_THREAD_ID=
TELEGRAM_LOG_CRITICAL_THREAD_ID=

# Optional — queue dispatch (recommended for production)
TELEGRAM_LOG_QUEUE_ENABLED=true
TELEGRAM_LOG_QUEUE_CONNECTION=redis
TELEGRAM_LOG_QUEUE_NAME=alerts

# Optional — rate limit duplicate alerts (seconds)
TELEGRAM_LOG_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=true
TELEGRAM_LOG_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW=300

Register the channel in config/logging.php:

'channels' => [
    'stack' => [
        'driver'   => 'stack',
        'channels' => ['daily', 'telegram'],
        'ignore_exceptions' => false,
    ],

    'telegram' => [
        'driver' => 'custom',
        'via'    => \AshishGusai\TelegramLogger\Logging\TelegramLoggingInstance::class,
        'level'  => 'critical',
    ],
],

Usage

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;

Log::critical('Database connection lost', [
    'host'   => 'db-primary',
    'reason' => 'timeout',
]);

// Exceptions are formatted with file/line and the trace
try {
    // ...
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
    Log::critical('Background job failed', ['exception' => $e]);
}

How rate limiting works

Each log line is hashed by level + message. If the same hash is seen again within rate_limit.window seconds (default 300), the duplicate is silently dropped. Cache backend defaults to your app default; override with TELEGRAM_LOG_RATE_LIMIT_STORE.

How thread routing works

If your Telegram chat is a supergroup with topics, set the per-level message_thread_ids in the config. The handler looks up thread_ids[level_name] first, then thread_ids['default'], and omits the field if both are empty.

Queueing

Set TELEGRAM_LOG_QUEUE_ENABLED=true and the handler dispatches SendTelegramLogJob onto your queue instead of making a blocking HTTP call. The job is tries=3 with a 10-second backoff.
