The "Error Log" in present form is a bad joke. It requires a page refresh to read, it's slow and the format frequently runs text off the edge of the page.

Adding insult to injury, hosting providers use the "Error Log" feature as an excuse to avoid providing a REAL error log.

Recommendation: Allow users to select a text file for continuous filtering of error message (just like Apache does) so developers can tail -f the file.

This ensures real time updates without having to refresh the page, and proper wrapping of text so errors can be read. It also allows users to filter error log output.

The process is extremely simple. Just direct Apache error log output to a script that filters based on the user's home directory and sends the output to a designated file in the user's file space.

If it takes longer than 2 hours to implement this feature, you need to replace the developer. Since cPanel already is doing the filtering, all that's necessary is to direct output to a text file.
