This package will log errors into MySQL database instead storage/log/laravel.log file.

composer require itelmenko/laravel-mysql-logger

If you wish to change default table name to write the log into or database connection use following definitions in your .env file

DB_LOG_TABLE=logs
DB_LOG_CONNECTION=mysql

For Laravel < 5.5 open up config/app.php and find the providers key.

'providers' => array(
    // ...
    ITelmenko\Logger\Laravel\Providers\MonologMysqlHandlerServiceProvider::class,
);

In config/logging.php

<?php
    // [...]

    'channels' => [

        // [...]

        'mysql' => [
            'driver' => 'custom',
            'via' => ITelmenko\Logger\Laravel\Logging\MySQLLogger::class,
            'connection' => env('DB_LOG_CONNECTION'),
            'table' => env('DB_LOG_TABLE'),
            'name' => 'my.channel' // optional
        ],
    ],

Publish config using Laravel Artisan CLI.

php artisan vendor:publish

and select the option Provider: ITelmenko\Logger\Laravel\Providers\MonologMysqlHandlerServiceProvider

Migrate tables.

php artisan migrate

Add ITelmenko\Logger\Laravel\Exceptions\MysqlLoggerInsertException into your ExceptionHandler to prevent looping when a database connection fails:

public function register()
{
    $this->reportable(function (Throwable $e) {
        if ($this->shouldReport($e) && app()->bound('sentry')) {
            app('sentry')->captureException($e);
        }
        if ($e instanceof MysqlLoggerInsertException) {
            return false; // prevent looping 
        }
    });
}

Log::channel('mysql')->info('Something happened!');
