Custom Magento Module Log
PHP errors and messages from other modules can clutter up your tail -f when debugging, and sometimes it’s just nice to have separate logs to the main system.
Set up your own log adapter with:
1
$my_log = Mage::getModel('core/log_adapter', 'my_module.log');
and log away!
1
$my_log->log($message);
Extra points for wrapping it up in a class:

class Nick_Module_Model_Log {
protected $\_adapter;
public \_\_construct() {
$this->\_adapter = Mage::getModel('core/log_adapter', 'my_module.log');
}
// It's public incase we want to use ->debug(), ->info(), and friends
public function getAdapter() {
return $this->\_adapter;
}
public function log($message) {
$this->getAdapter()->log($message);
}
}
$my_log = Mage::getSingleton('nick/log');
$my_log->log("Logging away!");
