A simple solution would be to register a log listener and do the saving yourself into mycustom.log if it matches your criteria. You can send additional data in the log $context variable.

Log::listen(function($level, $message, $context)
{
    // Save to mycustom.log
});

Laravel uses the Monolog logging library which contains plenty of other features though that you might want to look into. You can get an instance of Monolog by doing Log::getMonolog() .
