Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about LogWatch

LogWatch automatically detects available PHP error logs on your server, including: * PHP ini error_log setting * WordPress debug.log * Apache/Nginx error logs * Custom log files in your document root You can also enable the Custom Error Handler to create a dedicated log file.

Enable the Custom Error Handler in Settings. This creates a protected log file at wp-content/uploads/logwatch/php-errors.log that captures all PHP errors without requiring server access. Perfect for shared hosting environments like Bluehost, SiteGround, or GoDaddy.

Yes! Click the Export CSV button on the Logs page to download all visible errors in CSV format for external analysis, sharing with your team, or importing into other tools.

LogWatch groups identical errors (same file, line, and message) together and shows you: * Total occurrence count * First seen timestamp * Last seen timestamp * Full stack trace This helps you focus on unique issues instead of seeing the same error repeated thousands of times. For example, if a deprecated function is called 5,000 times, you'll see one grouped entry showing "5,000 occurrences" instead of 5,000 separate entries.

Yes! Click Mark as Fixed next to any error to hide it from the main view. You can view and restore hidden errors from LogWatch → Hidden Logs anytime. This keeps your logs clean and focused on active issues.

No. LogWatch only reads log files when you view the admin pages - it has zero impact on your frontend performance. The dashboard widget loads asynchronously so it won't slow down your dashboard. Log parsing is optimized for large files using reverse reading techniques.

PHP error_log format (standard PHP errors) Apache error log format Nginx error log format WordPress debug.log format Custom log formats with PHP error messages

Yes! LogWatch is fully compatible with PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3. We test on all major PHP versions to ensure compatibility.

Yes! LogWatch works on any hosting provider: * Shared Hosting - Use Custom Error Handler (Bluehost, SiteGround, HostGator, GoDaddy, etc.) * VPS/Cloud - Auto-detects system logs (DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, AWS, etc.) * Managed WordPress - Works with WP Engine, Kinsta, Flywheel, Pressable * Local Development - Perfect for XAMPP, MAMP, Local by Flywheel, Docker

Yes! Install LogWatch on each site you want to monitor. Each installation monitors its own logs independently. For centralized multi-site monitoring, check out LogWatch Pro.
