How are you planning to log using laravel? Are you going to write logs to a file that logstash can consume, or do you want to write to syslog, which logstash can likely consume. Or something else -- Monolog has a lot of options.

Hi Badger,

Thanks for kind update.. can you please recommend which is the best approach to ship laravel logs to ELK server , AS I am new to ELK.  
I tested Apache logs and they are shipping fine using logstash to ELK.  
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 in client side which is running larvel. and my ELK server is also same running with Ubuntu18.04.

Thanks in advance.

Not really, since I do not run laravel, but if I had to pick something I would probably go over the net, and try to write to syslog and use a syslog input on logstash. However, I do not know if Monolog and logstash use the same syslog RFC (there are more than one with incompatible formats).
