In their setup, the PHP error_log is pointed to syslog, but they allow for a statement in .htaccess (php_value error_log) that points the log to somewhere else. I have configured that and I can see that the log file exists and has errors in it, and the plugin&#8217;s wp-config settings are correct and point to the same file.<\/p>\n<p>The Error Log Monitor plugin is still complaining that it is unable to find the log, and says:<\/p>\n<p>     Error Log Monitor setup<\/p>\n<p>     There was an error:<br \/>\n     The current error_log value syslog is not supported. Please change it to an absolute path.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a way to get things to work in this configuration? The hosting company will not do anything to change the configured global or local value for error_log.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Barry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-15221682","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/15221682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/15221682\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15221682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
