Error Log Dashboard Widget is robust zero-configuration and low-memory WordPress plugin to keep an eye on error log.
Logging errors is recommended best practice, even for production site. Checking those logs however might seem like a chore.
The widget brings latest entries from error log right to WordPress dashboard:
- log file is detected automatically from configuration;
- only end of file is read - no memory overflow issues, safe for large logs.
Log file path is read from error_log PHP setting, which can be configured by WordPress or otherwise. Additional logs can be monitored by filtering list on error_log_widget_logs hook.
Filter error_log_widget_lines hook to control how many lines you want to see.
Only users with manage_options capability (Administrators) will see the widget. You can change this by filtering error_log_widget_capability hook.
