README

Package to report laravel errors by email with throttling and deduplication. Fork of adwiv/laravel-error-mailer that is working fine with laravel 5.3+.

Installation

1. Require this package with composer using the following command:

composer require crazyit/laravel-error-mailer

1. Run the migration to create the error_logs table.

php artisan migrate

1. Add the following keys to .env file

# Required Key
ERROR_MAILER_TO = "hello@example.com,admin@example.com" # Comma separated list of email addresses

# Optional Keys
ERROR_MAILER_FROM = "errors@example.com" # Mail sender, if not defined defaults to config setting
ERROR_MAILER_REPEAT_AFTER = 300   # Time in seconds for which same error will not be reported again
ERROR_MAILER_HOURLY_LIMIT = 10    # Maximum number of error mails that will be sent in an hour

1. Configure config/logging.php. The package automatically adds a logging channel named error-mailer.

The simplest way to use it is to add it the stack channel.

    'channels' => [
        'stack' => [
            'driver' => 'stack',
            'channels' => ['single', 'error-mailer'], #<-- Add here
            'ignore_exceptions' => false,
        ],
        ...
     ],

Thats all. Any errors should now be reported to all the email addresses listed in ERROR_MAILER_TO environment option.

Troubleshooting

If mails are not being recieived, please check:

1. Mail sending is configured correctly and you are able to send other mails without any issues.
2. The ERROR_MAILER_TO variable is defined in .env file and has valid email addresses (without spaces)
3. The mail queue is being processed correctly
4. Check the laravel.log for any reported issues.
