Disable or use separate file as logs

[mfashraf]

Would like to request that logs for scout kept on a separate file because it clogs up the main laravel logs pretty quickly. It also makes it hard for me to work on troubleshooting as I need to sift through a lot of debug logs.

@mfashraf Hey there, there are two options to achieve what you're trying to do:

1) Easiest option: You can change/add the SCOUT_LOG_LEVEL environment variable in .env (or if you are configuring in config/scout_apm.php, you can add/modify $config[\Scoutapm\Config\ConfigKey::LOG_LEVEL] = \Psr\Log\LogLevel::INFO; for example), or to a higher minimum level (the default is "debug", you could change it to any value listed in \Psr\Log\LogLevel, for example "info", "notice", "warning", etc.)

2) Most control option: You can replace the log used by Scout entirely with a separate \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface. To do this, in a service provider that runs after \Scoutapm\Laravel\Providers\ScoutApmServiceProvider (but before the service is instantiated) you can rewrite the \Scoutapm\Logger\FilteredLogLevelDecorator service, for example:

$this->app->singleton(\Scoutapm\Logger\FilteredLogLevelDecorator::class, static function (Application $app): void {
  $logger = new \Monolog\Logger('scout-only-logs');
  $logger->pushHandler(new \Monolog\Handler\ErrorLogHandler());
  return $logger;
});

also would like to request something like SCOUT_LOG_DISABLE=true

@kimchirichie as described above, you can either change the SCOUT_LOG_LEVEL to the highest setting (emergency), or inject a NullLogger implementation instead.
