Answer 1

In Laravel 5.6 you can create your own channel in config\logging.php. If you have upgraded from an older Laravel version you need to create this file (https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/upgrade).

Add this to you channel array in config\logging.php

'your_channel_name' => [
            'driver' => 'single',
            'path' => storage_path('logs/your_file_name.log'),
        ],

You can then call any of the 8 logging levels like that:

Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log::channel('your_channel_name')->info('your_message');

The logs will be stored in logs/your_file_name.log
