Custom Logging Threshold

World Wide Web Server edited this page Jul 4, 2012 · 4 revisions

Extends the functionality of the CI_Log class by allowing users to choose which threshold levels they want to log, rather than logging all the way up to the given threshold value.

[b]Usage[/b]

Create a file named Log.php in application/libraries/ and paste the script below into it:

[code] <?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); /**

$level = strtoupper($level);

@chmod($filepath, FILE_WRITE_MODE); return TRUE; }

} // END Log Class

/* End of file Log.php / / Location: ./system/libraries/Log.php */ [/code]

Next, open config.php and edit the value of the $config['log_threshold'] variable:

[code] // pass an array containing the threshold values you want to log $config['log_threshold'] = array(1, 3);

// this will log only informational messages $config['log_threshold'] = array(3); [/code]

[b]Note:[/b] If you wish to retain the original functionality of the $config['log_threshold'] variable, simply pass an integer as the value:

[code] $config['log_threshold'] = 3; [/code]
