#Installing Laravel Pail

Installation is as easy as requiring the package from Composer:

composer require laravel/pail

Then start it to begin tailing your logs:

php artisan pail

Laravel Pail has some flags that allow you to filter log messages in useful ways:

#Filter logs by exception type

php artisan pail --filter="QueryException"

#Filter by message

php artisan pail --message="User created"

#Filter by Log level

php artisan pail --level=error

You can use any of the levels: emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, info, and debug.

#Filter by User ID

php artisan pail --user=1

The source code is available on GitHub at laravel/pail, and you can view the full documentation on the Laravel site.
