Laravel request logger

Overview

This package provides middleware that logs incoming HTTP requests and responses in Laravel/Lumen applications. You can view your logs through a dedicated panel at https://your.domain/request-logs.

Features

HTTP request and response logging
Web-based log viewer interface
Configurable data retention period
Sensitive data masking
Support for custom logging fields
Multiple storage drivers (File system, MySQL)

Requirements

PHP 7.3 or higher
Laravel/Lumen 5.7 or higher
MySQL 5.7 or higher (required for database driver)

Laravel Installation

Install the package via Composer::

composer require hryha/request-logger

Run the database migrations:

    php artisan migrate

Optionally, publish the package's configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hryha\RequestLogger\RequestLoggerServiceProvider"

View the complete configuration options: here.

The package provides middleware that can be registered either globally or on specific routes.

// In app/Http/Kernel.php for global middleware
protected $middleware = [
    // ...
    \Hryha\RequestLogger\Http\Middleware\RequestLogger::class
];

// Or in your routes file for specific routes
Route::get('/user', [UserController::class, 'index'])->middleware(\Hryha\RequestLogger\Http\Middleware\RequestLogger::class);

Lumen Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require hryha/request-logger

First, install the vendor:publish plugin.

//In 'bootstrap/app.php'
$app->register(\Hryha\RequestLogger\RequestLoggerServiceProvider::class);

Optionally, publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hryha\RequestLogger\RequestLoggerServiceProvider"

If you publish the configuration, register it in your application:

// In 'bootstrap/app.php'
$app->configure('request-logger');

Run the database migrations:

php artisan migrate

// In 'bootstrap/app.php'
$app->routeMiddleware([
    // ...
    'request-logger' => \Hryha\RequestLogger\Http\Middleware\RequestLogger::class,
]);

Use the middleware on specific routes:

// In your routes file
Route::post('/test', ['uses' => 'TestController@test', 'middleware' => ['request-logger']]);

Data Pruning

To prevent the request_logs table from growing too large, schedule the request-logs:clear command to run daily:

$schedule->command('request-logs:clear')->daily();

The request-logs:clear command removes logs older than the number of days specified in your log_keep_days configuration. To delete all logs, use the --all parameter:

php artisan request-logs:clear --all

Custom Fields

The Request Logger supports additional custom fields for enhanced logging capabilities.

Use the RequestLogger::addCustomField(key, value) method to include additional data in your logs. Ensure that any custom fields are properly defined in the request_logs database table.

Implementation Example

Follow these steps to implement custom fields:

Create a middleware class (e.g., ConfigureRequestLogger)
Implement the handle method using RequestLogger::addCustomField(key, value)
Register the middleware in your Http\Kernel.php file to activate it.

Example middleware implementation:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use App\Models\User;
use Closure;
use Hryha\RequestLogger\RequestLogger;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

final class ConfigureRequestLogger
{
    private RequestLogger $requestLogger;

    public function __construct(RequestLogger $requestLogger)
    {
        $this->requestLogger = $requestLogger;
    }

    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {
        if (config('request-logger.enabled')) {
            /** @var User|null $user */
            $user = $request->user();

            // Log the authenticated user's ID
            $this->requestLogger->addCustomField('user_id', $user?->id);
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}

Ignoring Responses by Status Code

Configure status codes to ignore by setting REQUEST_LOGGER_IGNORE_RESPONSE_STATUSES in your .env file. The setting accepts both status ranges and specific status codes:

REQUEST_LOGGER_IGNORE_RESPONSE_STATUSES="[[100, 299], 301, 302]"

This configuration will ignore logs for responses with status codes between 100-299, as well as 301 and 302 responses.

Testing

Run the test:

php vendor/bin/phpunit

hryha / request-logger
