Removing the error stack traces from logging in Laravel

By default errors in Laravel are logged with the error stack traces. If you want to turn off these annoying stack traces perform the following:

1. Open

app/Exceptions/Handler.php`

2. Add

 use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;`

3. Modify the report method:

/**
  * Report or log an exception.
  *
  * @param  \Exception  $exception
  * @return void
  */
  public function report(Exception $exception)
  {

      // Some exceptions don't have a message
      $exception_message = (!empty($exception->getMessage()) ? trim($exception->getMessage()) : 'App Error Exception');

      // Log message
      $log_message = "\"" . $exception_message . " in file '" . $exception->getFile() . "' on line '" . $exception->getLine() . "'" . "\"";

      if (!config('app.debug')) {
          Log::error($log_message);
      } else {
          parent::report($exception);
      }
  }
