Debug messages flooding error logs

[JimBacon]

If apps are left in debug mode long term then the PHP error log and, to a lesser extent, the Drupal log become so full of the debug messages that it is hard to locate errors when they occur. Look for an alternative, e.g. using a separate file for debug. When doing so, ensure the content is stored securely as it will contain sensitive information.

Yes, it is verbous logging right now. Just want to stress the importance of it when it comes to mobile app developmet. Long term logging (up to 2-3 months) is very useful as it would be nearly imposible to debug some issues coming from user reports the problem has occurred a month ago without the logs. Plus, good to see patterns for problems :)

Sure. The point I was trying to make is that it is impeding error detection and correction of non-app problems because they are lost amongst the huge volume of debug messages coming from the apps. I'm therefore suggesting that the apps need their own log file.
