Laravel Disable Logging

Disabling Logging in Laravel

In Laravel, you can disable logging by modifying the configuration settings in the config/logging.php file.

To disable logging, locate the 'channels' array in the config/logging.php file. This array defines the various log channels used by Laravel.

'channels' => [
    'stack' => [
        'driver' => 'stack',
        'channels' => ['single'],
    ],

    'single' => [
        'driver' => 'single',
        'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
        'level' => 'debug',
    ],
],

The 'single' channel is the default channel and uses the 'single' driver. To disable logging, you can simply remove the 'single' channel from the 'channels' array.

'channels' => [
    'stack' => [
        'driver' => 'stack',
        'channels' => [],
    ],
],

By emptying the 'channels' array within the 'stack' channel, you effectively disable logging for all channels.

Alternatively, you can also set the logging level to 'error' or 'none' for the desired log channels to disable or limit the log messages. For example, if you only want to disable logging for the 'single' channel, you can set its level as follows:

'channels' => [
    'stack' => [
        'driver' => 'stack',
        'channels' => ['single'],
    ],

    'single' => [
        'driver' => 'single',
        'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
        'level' => 'none',
    ],
],

By setting the log level to 'none', the 'single' channel will not log any messages.

Remember to clear the cached Laravel configuration by running the following command in your terminal:

php artisan config:cache

After disabling logging, no log files will be generated, and the log messages will not be recorded.
