Solution:

step1: create a channel inside config/logging.php file

example :

'channels' => [
    'single' => [
    'driver' => 'single', 
    'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
    'level' => 'debug',
],

'web' => [
      'driver' => 'single',
      'path' => storage_path('logs/web/web.log'),
   ],

]

Step2: Now set dynamic path from the controller  like this

config(['logging.channels.web.path' => storage_path('logs/web/'.time().'.log')]);

Step3 : now generate your log

  Log::channel('web')->info("your message goes here");

Enjoy :)
