+	'Clockwork' => 'Clockwork\Support\Laravel\Facade',
+)
+```
+
+Now you can use the following commands:
+
+```php
+Clockwork::startEvent('event_name', 'Event description.'); // event called 'Event description.' appears in Clockwork timeline tab
+
+Clockwork::log('Message text.'); // 'Message text.' appears in Clockwork log tab
+Log::info('Message text.'); // 'Message text.' appears in Clockwork log tab as well as application log file
+
+Clockwork::endEvent('event_name');
