Debug Log Manager – Conveniently Monitor and Inspect Errors

Debug Log Manager allows you to: Enable WP_DEBUG with one click to log PHP, database and JavaScript errors when you need to, and disable it when you’re done. No need to manually edit wp-config.php file. Create the debug.log file for you in a non-default location with a custom file name for enhanced security. Copy the content of the default / existing debug.log file into the custom debug.log file, and delete the default / existing debug.log file. So there is continuation in logging and enhanced security going forward. Parse the debug.log file and view distinct errors and when they last occurred, which is better than looking at the raw log file (potentially) full of repetitive errors. Quickly find and filter more specific errors for your debugging work. Make error details easier to read by identifying error source (core / plugin / theme) and separating file path and line number. Easily view files where PHP errors occurred. This includes WordPress core, plugin and theme files. Enable auto-refresh to automatically load new log entries. No need to manually reload the browser tab, or to tail -f the log file on the command line. Easily clear the debug.log file to save disk space and more easily observe newly occurring errors on your site. Show an indicator on the admin bar when error logging is enabled. Add a dashboard widget showing the latest errors logged. Use error_log() to output error info into your debug log. e.g. error_log( $error_message ) for simple, string-based error message, or error_log( json_encode( $error ) ) when inspecting a more complex error info, e.g. array or object. Auto-trim debug.log file size so it does not grow larger than the available memory. This prevents out-of-memory error when trying to parse and view the debug.log file. A simpler and more compact version of Debug Log Manager is included as part of the System Dashboard plugin, should you prefer a single plugin that does more.
