Logging

Vivid Jobs can write to log by using the $this->log() method from anywhere within a Job.

Under the hood Vivid uses the Log facade and prepends the output with the Job FQN but there are future plans to make the logging more powerful by allowing developers to use different logging channels.

Using the logger

From within a job you can use the following methods:

• $this->log()->debug(string $message)
• $this->log()->info(string $message)
• $this->log()->notice(string $message)
• $this->log()->warning(string $message)
• $this->log()->error(string $message)
• $this->log()->critical(string $message)
• $this->log()->alert(string $message)
• $this->log()->emergency(string $message)

Sending Vivid to a custom channel

You have the ability to also use a dedicated channel for Vivid. Inside the config/vivid.php file you may set the 'log_channel' value to whatever you like.

Keep in mind that this will only work if you use the Vivid log helper ($this->log()->)
