Do you want to specifically log info to one log file and another log type to another location? My solution might not help in that case, but could still be useful.

To write a log file to another location, use the method useDailyFiles or useFiles, and then info to log to the log file at the path you just specified. Like so:

    Log::useDailyFiles(storage_path().'/logs/name-of-log.log');
    Log::info([info to log]);

The first parameter for both methods is the path of the log file (which is created if it doesn't already exist) and for useDailyFiles the second argument is the number of days Laravel will log for before erasing old logs. The default value is unlimited, so in my example I haven't entered a value.
