How to debug eloquent queries executed in Codeigniter - event-handling

Question

I'm using Eloquent 5.* on my CodeIgniter3.1.1 project, Everything works fine however i want to check the queries executed when a request is processed,
After some googling i came accross Using Eloquent ORM inside CodeIgniter with added Query Logging and having CI Profiler enabled i see "No Queries Executed",
my database.php configuration for Eloquent looks as below
//Eloquent ORM database connection
use Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager as Capsule;
$capsule = new Capsule;
$capsule->addConnection(array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost; dbname=communit_iwa_test charset=utf8;',
'host' => $db['default']['hostname'],
'database' => $db['default']['database'],
'username' => $db['default']['username'],
'password' => $db['default']['password'],
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => $db['default']['dbprefix'],
));
$capsule->setAsGlobal();
$capsule->bootEloquent();
$events = new Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher;
$events->listen('illuminate.query',function($query, $bindings, $time,$name) {
// Format binding data for sql insertion
foreach ($bindings as $i => $binding) {
if ($binding instanceof \DateTime) {
$bindings[$i] = $binding->format('\'Y-m-d H:i:s\'');
} else if (is_string($binding)) {
$bindings[$i] = "'$binding'";
}
}
// Insert bindings into query
$query = str_replace(array('%', '?'), array('%%', '%s'), $query);
$query = vsprintf($query, $bindings);
// Add it into CodeIgniter
$db = & get_instance()->db;
$db->query_times[] = $time;
$db->queries[] = $query;
});
$capsule->setEventDispatcher($events);
/* End of file database.php */
/* Location: ./application/config/database.php */
Your Help is appreciated in advance

To view executed eloquent queries usegetQueryLog() method of the classIlluminate\Database\Capsule\Manager;
in short
Include Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager class in your controller or model as use Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager as Capsule;
use Capsule::getQueryLog() method to view an array of all queries executed in Eloquent ORM
