Unhappy with the Plugin
by zdmdesigns·4 months ago·2 replies

Unhappy with this plugin. It has potential but it does not show enough information to troubleshoot errors.

Great plugin to visualize and manage the debug.log
by Javier Archeni·9 months ago·2 replies

I have to do some routine maintenance on a website and I was looking for a plugin that could help me to get the debug.log from the control panel. I found it very useful. It allows filtering by type of notification and the interface is very intuitive. It also warns you if your debug.log file is publicly accessible, which avoids showing a lot of sensitive details. It also has the option to send an email every so often of the debug.log, a very interesting feature to detect problems in your installation.

Congratulations on the plugin.

Great :-)
