You can do this with the ElasticsearchHandler of Monolog.

See https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/logging#creating-custom-channels-via-factories how to create a custom log channel via factories.

composer require elasticsearch/elasticsearch

Something like this in your factory:

public function __invoke(array $config)
{
    return new \Monolog\Logger(
        $config['name'] ?? 'defaultChannelName',
        [
            new \Monolog\Handler\ElasticsearchHandler(
                // ...
                // see phpdoc of the ElasticsearchHandler::class
            )
        ]
    );
}
