Log Type
You have three choices of how you'd like to store your logs, database only, file only or both. The database option will store the logs in your database with other WordPress data. The file option will store them on your hard drive where ever you specify in your Path to Log Files setting. Both will store them in both locations.
Days to Keep Database Logs
Here set set the amount of days to store your logs in the database so it doesn't get to bloated.
Path to Log Files
If you choose to store your logs in a file this is the path to where they will be stored.
Allow Data Tracking
We highly recommend enabling this feature. It will send data showing what features have been enabled and disabled to Google Analytics. This will help us know what features to give priority to improving and what future features to focus on.
Disable File Locking
Turning this option on will prevent errors related to file locking however might result in operations being executed twice. We do not recommend turning this off unless your host prevents the file locking feature from working correctly.
Override Proxy Detection
If you're not using a proxy service such as Varnish, Cloudflare or others turning this on may result in more accurate IP detection.
