Need a help on logs with codeigniter?

Question

I have used codeigniter framework.Have used its log part. I had a query regarding configuring logs in the application. As per the documentation they say that we can configure in app/config/php and filter the logs as debug,error or info messages. But even after doing that, I am not able to filter the logs. Wanted to know the reason for this or am i missing something. Help would be highly appreciated.

You need to follow the following steps to keep log file.

1. Change the following line of your application/config/config.php file

    $config['log_threshold'] = 4; 

   instead of

    $config['log_threshold'] = 0; 

This change will produce a log file in your application/logs directory with current date as file name.

Now if you want to write your custom log in this log file then write the following code:

log_message('ERROR','YOUR_MESSAGE_HERE');

Here you can use 'ERROR', 'DEBUG' etc.

Hope this will help you.
