Custom Events

Sometimes we need to run some custom events (i.e. running cronjobs or importing some data) which contains thousand of events or db updates. To prevent storing to many logs on the server, it's better to ignore the events caused by the custom script.

Enable/Disable Logging in Custom Events

To disable and enable logging in custom events such as importing scripts wrap the script you don't want to be logged between following function calls:

\Adeptus::disableLogging();

// your code here...

\Adeptus::enableLogging();

In this case the events between these 2 lines won't be logged.

Example

function do_import() 
{
    \Adeptus::logEvent([
        'alert_code'        => 20080,
        'alert_level'       => \Psr\Log\LogLevel::INFO,
        'alert_title'       => 'Import Started',
        'alert_description' => 'Import Started',
        'sensor'            => 'ImportExample'
    ]);

    \Adeptus::disableLogging();

    // Perform import
    update_option('blogname',rand());

    \Adeptus::enableLogging();

    \Adeptus::logEvent([
        'alert_code'        => 20080,
        'alert_level'       => \Psr\Log\LogLevel::INFO,
        'alert_title'       => 'Import Finished',
        'alert_description' => 'Imported 100 items successfully',
        'sensor'            => 'ImportExample'
    ]);
}
