/config/logging.php

// ...
        'monitoring-mail' => [
            'driver' => 'custom',
            'via' => App\Logging\Mail::class,
            'level' => env('LOG_MONITORING_MAIL_LEVEL', 'error'),
            'to' => env('LOG_MONITORING_TO'),
            'from' => env('LOG_MONITORING_FROM'),
        ],
// ...

/app/Logging/Mail.php

<?php

namespace App\Logging;

use App\Helpers\Log\MailHandler;
use Monolog\Logger;

class Mail
{
    public function __invoke(array $config)
    {
        $handler = new MailHandler($config['to'], $config['level'], $config['bubble'] ?? true, $config);
        return new Logger('mail', [$handler]);
    }
}

/app/Helpers/Log/MailHandler.php

<?php

namespace App\Helpers\Log;

use Illuminate\Mail\Message;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use Monolog\Handler\AbstractProcessingHandler;
use Monolog\Logger;

class MailHandler extends AbstractProcessingHandler
{
    /** @var string */
    protected $to;

    /** @var array */
    protected $config;

    public function __construct(string $to, $level = Logger::DEBUG, bool $bubble = true, ?array $config = null)
    {
        parent::__construct($level, $bubble);
        if (empty($to)) {
            throw new \InvalidArgumentException('"To" cannot be empty');
        }
        $this->to = $to;
        $this->config = (array) $config;
    }

    protected function write(array $record): void
    {
        $body = $record['formatted'] ?? $record['message'] ?? '<empty>';
        Mail::raw($body, function (Message $message) use ($record) {
            $subject = ($record['level_name'] ?? 'ERROR') . ': ' . ($record['message'] ?? '<empty>');
            $message->to($this->to);
            $message->subject($subject);
            if (!empty($this->config['from'])) {
                $message->from($this->config['from']);
            }
        });
    }
}

Here is the solution for Laravel 5.3

#file:   /app/Exceptions/Handler.php

public function report(Exception $e)
{
    if($this->shouldReport($e)){

        \Mail::send(
            ['html' => 'error.emails.exception'],
            ['content' => $data['content']],
            function ($m) {
                $m->from(['myemail@from.com']);
                $m->to(['myemail@to.com']);
                $m->subject('Crash Report');
            }
        );
    }

    parent::report($e);
}

• You need to create the exception.blade.php file in /resources/views/emails
• I advise you to use this content, to make the email look the same as Laravel's error page.

Theres a package here https://github.com/designmynight/laravel-log-mailer that adds a mail driver to Laravel 5.6's LogManager which should do exactly what you are after.

There are configuration settings in the config/logging.php file and you can create different mail channels for logging information to different recipients. The email template is also customisable.
