Can Laravel 4 maintain log errors to socket?

Question

If so how can it be done? By default Laravel 4 writes to a text file. I notice that Monolog can Log to Database on its github page. I have tried with this. But rather than storing in database its better to store error log on socket. So can you suggest me according to the socket logging.

Answer 1

According to Laravel doc and Monolog socket example:

// get Monolog instance
$logger = Log::getMonolog();

// create the socket handler
$handler = new Monolog\Handler\SocketHandler('unix:///var/log/httpd_app_log.socket');
$handler->setPersistent(true);

// now add the handler
$logger->pushHandler($handler, Monolog\Logger::DEBUG);

After register socket handler, you can use Laravel log methods.
