Laravel 4 - Logging inside the event listener

I'm quite new to laravel 4, and I want to log to files inside storage/logs when a user attempt to connect to my application.

I have added inside routes.php this: 

Event::listen('auth.attempt', function() {
    echo 'attempting to logging in';
});

I know that Laravel 4 includes monolog which is a PHP logging framework , but I dont know if it's the easiest way to log here.

I can declare a filter that I add to the before of my route, but this solution isn't very elegant.

Go with monolog, it is widely used and a great library. It can be configured in many different ways and implements the PSR-3 logging interface. See http://laravel.com/docs/errors#logging and http://github.com/Seldaek/monolog‎.

Most simple logging command:

Log::info('This is some useful information.');

If you want to directly interface with monolog:

$monolog = Log::getMonolog();

By using the standard laravel facade for monolog it will automatically log it into a new file with the current date.

Regarding your initial query about the easiest method, I feel compelled to say this is the easiest one.
