⏳ Running Logs in a Queue

If a queue name is set, logs will be processed asynchronously in the specified queue. Otherwise, they will run synchronously.

🔧 Configuration Example

Modify your config/logging.php file:

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

        'rocketchat' => [
            'driver' => 'monolog',
            'level' => 'debug',
            'handler' => TheCoder\MonologRocketChat\RocketChatBotHandler::class,
            'handler_with' => [
                'token' => env('LOG_ROCKET_CHAT_BOT_TOKEN'),
                'chat_id' => env('LOG_ROCKET_CHAT_CHAT_ID'),
                'api_url' => env('LOG_ROCKET_CHAT_BOT_API'),
