If you can't use Bugsnag or Sentry for monitoring your production Laravel application, here is a really simple solution to get notified when anything goes wrong., _(*2)

This is a plug-and-play Laravel package to send a message to a Slack channel via an Incoming WebHook when error/exception occurs in your application., _(*3)

Note: Logging feature had major updates in Laravel 5.6. you may use Laravel Log Enhancer package for it., _(*4)

composer require freshbitsweb/slack-error-notifier

2) Import config file by running this command in your terminal/cmd:, _(*6)

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=slack-error-notifier-config

3) Create an Incoming WebHook in your Slack account and put Webhook URL in your .env file for SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL variable, _(*7)

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXX/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

4) Optinal: Change configuration settings: (bool) add_memory_usage => Set to *true if you wish to send memory usage in the slack message, _(*8)
