// See the Monolog documentation to check which levels are available.
// By default, Taleo PHP Library doesn't log anything (log level set to ALERT)
// except ALERT, triggered by errors.
// If you change this to DEBUG, it will log almost everything.
// By default, the logfile is in the default PHP temporary directory,
// Under the name of "Taleo.log"
// You can use a second parameter to define the file to use.
// You can also use 'php://stdout' to debug quickly.
// Do not forget to disable the DEBUG level when in Production !

 * To update the settings, you just have to call the method with
