How to customize the log output for a job in laravel?

You can customize the log output for a job in Laravel by using the built-in logging functionality provided by the framework. Here's how you can customize the log output for a job in Laravel:

1. Use the Log facade to log messages within your job class. You can use this facade to log messages at different levels such as info, warning, error, etc.

use IlluminateSupportFacadesLog;

class YourJobClass implements ShouldQueue
{
    public function handle()
    {
        Log::info('Your log message here');
    }
}

1. You can also customize the log channel for your job by specifying the channel in the configuration file config/logging.php.

'channels' => [
    'your_custom_channel' => [
        'driver' => 'daily',
        'path' => storage_path('logs/your_custom.log'),
        'level' => 'debug',
    ],
],

Then, you can use this custom channel in your job class like this:

use IlluminateSupportFacadesLog;

class YourJobClass implements ShouldQueue
{
    public function handle()
    {
        Log::channel('your_custom_channel')->info('Your log message here');
    }
}

1. You can also customize the format of the log messages by defining a custom Monolog processor. You can create a custom processor class that implements the MonologProcessorProcessorInterface interface and then register it in the config/logging.php configuration file.

namespace AppLogging;

class CustomProcessor
{
    public function __invoke(array $record)
    {
        $record['extra']['job_id'] = $record['context']['job_id'] ?? null;

        return $record;
    }
}

Then, register this custom processor in the processors array of the logging configuration file:

1

'processors' => [
    AppLoggingCustomProcessor::class,
],

Now, you can use this custom processor in your job class to add extra information to the log messages:

use IlluminateSupportFacadesLog;

class YourJobClass implements ShouldQueue
{
    public function handle()
    {
        Log::info('Your log message here', ['job_id' => $this->job->getJobId()]);
    }
}

By following these steps, you can customize the log output for a job in Laravel based on your specific requirements.
