Allow custom implementation for ProcessDispatchAudit

[markieo1]

Hello,

I'm using the auditing queue functionality.

In my system I sometimes have an issue that the job fails. Due to network issues for example.
I would love to adjust the implementation of \OwenIt\Auditing\Listeners\ProcessDispatchAudit so that I can add custom logic or the retry functionality that is available from Laravel.

My suggestion would be to add a config('audit.queue.listener') which defaults to \OwenIt\Auditing\Listeners\ProcessDispatchAudit but gives you the option to use other classes aswell.

Thanks in advance!

The listener already implements the three available functions from laravel but I wouldn't be surprised if there were other options hidden away somewhere.

What extra customisation did you have in mind?

The main use case for us would be to implement a backoff strategy to prevent network issues. See https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/queues#dealing-with-failed-jobs

/**
 * Calculate the number of seconds to wait before retrying the job.
 *
 * @return array<int, int>
 */
public function backoff(): array
{
    return [1, 5, 10];
}

I also want to adjust the retries only for this job.

Ah of course yes that would be handy.

It looks like Laravel lets this function return null so I think it would be a neat PR if you're willing

If we'd introduce a config('audit.queue.listener'), then everybody can add their own traits/functions and such. This way we won't need a PR for every new functionality. What do you think about that?

its fair enough, as long as it defaults to the right one, if someone changes it to a listener which does not dispatch the same thing then thats on them 😅

arguably you could extend the one in the package
