// config/errly.php
return [
    'enabled' => env('ERRLY_ENABLED', true),
    
    'slack' => [
        'webhook_url' => env('ERRLY_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL'),

            'allowed' => explode(',', env('ERRLY_ALLOWED_ENVIRONMENTS', 'production,staging')),
        ],
        
        // Automatically ignores noise like 404s, validation errors
        'ignored_exceptions' => [
            \Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException::class,
            \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException::class,
            // ... more

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Not receiving Slack notifications?

1. Check your webhook URL

# Test with curl
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"text":"Test from curl"}' \
  YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL

2. Verify configuration

php artisan tinker
>>> config('errly.enabled')
>>> config('errly.slack.webhook_url')

3. Check Laravel logs

tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log

4. Test manually

use Errly\LaravelErrly\Facades\Errly;
Errly::report(new Exception('Manual test'));

Too many notifications?

Enable rate limiting:

ERRLY_RATE_LIMITING=true
ERRLY_MAX_PER_MINUTE=5

Notifications in development?

Use environment filtering:

ERRLY_FILTER_ENVIRONMENTS=true
ERRLY_ALLOWED_ENVIRONMENTS=production,staging
