Laravel Discord Logger

Send Laravel logs to Discord — built for production. A Monolog channel with deduplication, configurable error grouping, rate limiting, async delivery with 429 backoff, and a graceful no-op when the webhook URL is missing.

Installation

composer require jeffersongoncalves/laravel-discord-logger

Publish the config (optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-discord-logger-config"

Configuration

Add a channel to config/logging.php:

'discord' => [
    'driver' => 'custom',
    'via'    => \JeffersonGoncalves\DiscordLogger\Logger::class,
    'level'  => env('LOG_DISCORD_LEVEL', 'error'),
    'url'    => env('LOG_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL'),
],

Stack it onto your default channel so errors fan out:

'stack' => [
    'driver'   => 'stack',
    'channels' => ['single', 'discord'],
    'ignore_exceptions' => false,
],

Set the webhook (leave empty in local/testing — nothing will be sent, nothing will break):

LOG_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/xxx/yyy

How the improvements work

Error grouping (fingerprint)

config/discord-logger.php → grouping.strategy:

• message — group by message text
• level_message — group by level + message
• exception (default) — group by exception class + file + line
• a callback fn (\Monolog\LogRecord $record): string for full control

With grouping.normalize on, volatile tokens (numbers, UUIDs, hashes) are stripped before hashing, so User 123 not found and User 456 not found collapse together.

Deduplication

Within deduplication.window seconds, only the first occurrence of a fingerprint is sent. Repeats are counted silently. When the window closes, a single summary (🔁 occurred N×) is delivered — turn it off with deduplication.summary => false.

Rate limiting

• rate_limit.global — hard cap on total messages app-wide
• rate_limit.per_fingerprint — extra guard against a single looping error

Async delivery

Delivery runs through a queued job by default (queue.enabled). Discord 429s are retried respecting Retry-After; bad webhooks (4xx) fail fast instead of looping. Set queue.enabled => false to send inline (best-effort, errors swallowed).

State store

Dedup + rate-limit counters live in the cache store named by store (null = default). Use Redis in production for atomic counters.

Per-level webhooks & mentions

Route a level to its own channel and ping someone when it matters:

'webhooks' => [
    'EMERGENCY' => env('DISCORD_LOGGER_WEBHOOK_ALERTS'),
    'CRITICAL'  => env('DISCORD_LOGGER_WEBHOOK_ALERTS'),
],

'mentions' => [
    'EMERGENCY' => '@here',
    'CRITICAL'  => '<@&123456789012345678>', // role id
],

allowed_mentions is set automatically, so @here / @everyone / role / user pings actually fire.

Context redaction

Sensitive context keys are masked before sending — configure with redact (case-insensitive key fragments). Defaults cover password, secret, token, authorization, api_key.

Fallback channel & safety

The handler never throws and is guarded against logging-while-logging recursion. If delivery throws, the error is swallowed; set fallback_channel (e.g. 'single') to record those failures instead of losing them.

Commands

# Publish the config + optionally star the repo
php artisan discord-logger:install

# Send a test message to verify the webhook
php artisan discord-logger:test --channel=discord

Testing

composer test
