Description

In our logs, we are noticing that a job is failing. It says this job "has been attempted too many times". But the stack trace in the log only shows the stack trace for /vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/MaxAttemptsExceededException.php:24, not the original error. I want to know the real reason the job is failing, and the stack trace and exception of the original error.

Steps To Reproduce

This is our horizon.php config file.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

return [
	/*

    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This is the subdomain where Horizon will be accessible from. If this
    | setting is null, Horizon will reside under the same domain as the
    | application. Otherwise, this value will serve as the subdomain.
