Logging errors is recommended best practice, even for production site. Checking those logs however might seem like a chore.

The widget brings latest entries from error log right to WordPress dashboard:

  • log file is detected automatically from configuration;
  • only end of file is read - no memory overflow issues, safe for large logs.
