Patrick Brouwers, the creator of Laravel Excel, explains how to handle failing jobs in Laravel
When designing software, don’t only think about the happy path. Write down (preferably with (unit) tests) what all the things are that could go wrong. Then design your solution to be able to recover those situations. (Wether or not automatic.) There isn’t a single solution to rule them all, some processes might need to have specific failure handling while others are fine with the default approach.

Laravel provides excellent support for queued jobs. It's very easy to put something on a queue and out of the box a lot of queue backends such as Beanstalkd, SQS and Redis are supported. Most of the time queued jobs will perform their job without any problem. But have you considered that a queued job can fail too?
Laravel can create a failed jobs table and write a record when a queued jobs fails. There is even a command to retry a failed job:
php artisan queue:retry 5
That's nice! But how do you know if there is a job that failed? Sure you could check the failed jobs table from time to time, but I promise you after a while you won't do that anymore. If you have many applications, checking all those failed job tables will get downright tedious.
To get notified when a queued job fails our intern Jolita created a package called failed job monitor. It hooks into the JobFailed-event Laravel 5.2 fires when a queued job fails. Once it is installed you will receive a mail whenever this event occurs. Integration with Slack comes built-in as well. Here's how a Slack notification looks like:
