So I have this in my Kernel.php $schedule->command('command:name')->hourly()->withoutOverlapping(); but it never stores the logs in Cloudwatch. However, if I run it manually using vapor command staging --command="php artisan command:name", they do get stored in Cloudwatch.
I am assuming it has to do with cron based commands in Laravel Vapor storing their output to /dev/null but I might be wrong. My goal is to capture these logs, any help? To add further, my command basically fetches data from an API for 50 records.
This is from the official Laravel Vapor documentation:
Log Messages
Due to Vapor limitations, log messages from scheduled tasks will not appear in AWS CloudWatch or Vapor UI. As a workaround, you should dispatch a queued job from your scheduled tasks and write log messages from your queued job.
When you execute vapor command staging --command="php artisan command:name you are using the CLI. This mode generates logs and that's the reason you can see them.
