 * Hello,
    thanks for a very useful plugin! I have a question… is there any way 
   to automatically generate a text file whenever something happens? I’m asking 
   because I had a plugin break my site (HTTP 500) and couldn’t track down which
   one. Turns out the plugin wasn’t installed correctly, but if I had seen ‘Updating
   Plugin nnn’ in the logs, I would have saved quite some debugging time. I guess
   the challenge is the mix of how often to write and how to not raise the load 
   too much…
 * I would be happy with something like:
    – yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.ss-entrylog.txt on 
   a entry by entry basis – yyyy-mm-dd-dailylog.txt daily aggregation
 * …or something similar. I guess the question is if it would have caught the bad
   plugin installation, or if it would only have logged it once it did get installed…
   
   Thanks Nils

 * Thanks for the feedback! It’s a good idea and I’ve added it to my list of feature
   requests.
