Download the PHP package laboiteacode/filament-logs-explorer without Composer

Filament Logs Explorer

Read your Laravel log files without leaving your Filament panel. Files are grouped by logging channel and open in a slide-over with in-file search, match navigation and keyboard shortcuts.

Features

• Channel aware. Log files are resolved from your config/logging.php, not from a hardcoded path: single, daily, monolog stream handlers, and the file based members of a stack.
• Slide-over viewer. In-file search with highlighting and match navigation, jump to start or end, move to the previous or next file without closing the slide-over, and download the raw file.
• Keyboard driven. / to search, n and N to walk through matches, g and G to jump to the start or the end of the file.
• Safe on large files. Files above a configurable size are truncated, and the viewer loads the end of the file first so the most recent entries are always the ones you see.
• File deletion. Delete a log file from the list or from the viewer, behind a confirmation dialog and its own authorization hook, independent of read access.
• Configurable twice over. Every option is available both in a published config file and through a fluent, per-panel plugin API.
• Authorization built in. A single canAccess() hook drives both the navigation item and the route.
• Translated. Ships with English, French and Spanish.

Compatibility

Installation

Install the package with Composer:

Register the plugin on every panel where it should appear, usually in app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php:

That is the whole setup. A Logs entry appears in the navigation and lists every file based channel the plugin can find.

Assets

The viewer's CSS and JS are registered with Filament automatically. In production, publish them like any other Filament asset:

Publishing

All three publishable groups are optional:

Usage

The Logs page

The page renders one collapsible section per channel, each showing that channel's most recent files with their name, size and last modified date. A Refresh action in the header re-scans the disk.

Clicking a file opens it in the viewer. Files the process cannot read are listed but marked as unreadable, so a permission problem is visible instead of silent.

The viewer

While the search box has focus, Enter moves to the next match, Shift+Enter to the previous one, and Escape clears the search. The single letter shortcuts are only active outside the search box, so typing n in a query does what you expect.

Large files

Files larger than reader.max_bytes (5 MB by default) are truncated. The viewer loads the end of the file, which is where the most recent entries are, and shows a banner explaining that the file was truncated and inviting the user to download it in full. Set reader.tail_when_exceeded to false to load the beginning instead.

Configuration

Every option can be set globally in the published config/filament-logs-explorer.php, or per panel through the fluent plugin API. The fluent value always wins, which lets several panels in the same application expose different subsets of the logs.

Channels

By default the plugin auto-discovers every file based channel declared in config/logging.php. Provide an explicit list to restrict and order them:

Untracked files

To also surface *.log files that are not attached to any channel, enable the directory scan. Those files are grouped under their own section:

Navigation

To nest the page inside a Filament cluster, pass its class name:

Access control

The page is available to anyone who can access the panel. Restrict it with a Gate ability:

Or with a closure, which takes precedence over the configured gate:

Either way this drives the page's canAccess() method, so it controls the navigation visibility and the route authorization at once.

Deleting log files

Deletion is enabled by default and has its own authorization, separate from read access, so people can browse logs without being able to delete them. The trash button asks for confirmation before removing the file from disk, and deleting the file currently open also closes the slide-over.

Files are always resolved back from an opaque id, never from a path sent by the browser, so only files the plugin listed itself can be deleted, and the check runs again server side before the file is removed.

Reader

Reference

Translations

The package ships with English, French and Spanish, and follows your application locale. Publish the files to change the wording or to add a language:

Then edit or create lang/vendor/filament-logs-explorer/{locale}/filament-logs-explorer.php.

Security

The viewer only ever reads files it resolved itself from your logging configuration. The front end references files by an opaque, non-reversible id rather than by path, so a path supplied by the browser is never read from disk, and both reading and deleting are re-authorized server side.

If you discover a security issue, please email [email protected] rather than using the issue tracker.
