Log Rotation in laravel 4.1

Question

I have a project that is in laravel 4.1. My app/storage/logs/laravel.log in production has gotten huge.

I have looked around for log rotation, but could not find anything laravel 4 related. In laravel 5 there is a log option in the config/app.php which you can give values like daily etc. But I don't see any such option in laravel 4. https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/v4.1.0/app/config/app.php

How can i acheive log rotation in laravel 4?

Add following lines of code in your app/start/global.php file.

$logFile = 'laravel.log';

Log::useDailyFiles(storage_path().'/logs/'.$logFile);

Got it, for me it was in the `app/start/global.php'. Any idea how to do weekly log rotation? – Mubashar Abbas Sep 29 '16 at 07:54
