I want to change the value of log_name 'default' to the user that has made the changes.
something like
auth()->user()->name

Hey,

if you have an instance of the ActivityLogger you can use one of these two methods to define it on runtime.

laravel-activitylog/src/ActivityLogger.php

Lines 115 to 125 in 469e78d

	public function useLog(string $logName)
	{
	$this->getActivity()->log_name = $logName;
	return $this;
	}
	public function inLog(string $logName)
	{
	return $this->useLog($logName);
	}

If you want to set the log name on model event logs you can use the tapActivity() method on each model to set the log_name attribute of the Activity model instance passed in.
The third option would be to use the Macroable trait of ActivityLogger class and add a method that can override the defaultLogName property on runtime. This will change the log name for every activity without a defined one after the method is called.

At all I don't recommend to do this. Because the causing user is already saved as a relationship on the model and the log name/channel is more for different areas of your app for example. So like admin and user logs.
Or backoffice and API or whatever you have.

protected static $logName = 'user';
you can also add this line on users model
