create a new laravel logging channel through ServiceProvider

Question

I am in the process of creating a Laravel package. Is it possible to create new logging channels through a ServiceProvider class?

I have manually created a new logging channel in my config/logging.php, however I would prefer if the package could do this automatically for me in the future.

Update: I have a Laravel package in which will use it's own logging stack and file. Here is the code I have in my config/logging.php right now:

'deployment' => [
    'driver' => 'single',
    'path' => storage_path('logs/deployment.log'),
    'level' => 'debug',
],

Thanks.

You can use app('log') to get the LogManager singleton from the service container and the public function stack(array $channels, $channel=null) method to pass in an array of channels you want to add.

app('log')->stack([
    'channels' => [
        'test' => [
            'driver' => 'daily',
            'path' => storage_path('logs/test.log'),
            'level' => 'debug',
            'days' => 30,
        ]
    ]
]);
