## Installation

 1. Upload the wp-rest-api-log directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ’Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to Settings -> REST API Log to enable or disable logging
 4. Go to Tools -> REST API Log to start viewing log entries

## Vanliga frågor

### How do I use ElasticPress logging?

[ElasticPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elasticpress/) is a plugin than interfaces
WordPress to the [ElasticSearch](https://www.elastic.co/products/elasticsearch) 
search service. Because ElasticSearch has its own REST API for indexing and searching
data, it was a natural fit to extend logging support via this REST API Logging plugin.

You can go into Settings > ElasticPress to enable logging for requests & responses.
You can also disable REST API logging if you only need ElasticPress logging.

It will absolutely wreck your database efficiency, it is adding records incorretly
to posts and postmeta. It should of registered its own tables, i regret installing.

The plugin is oding it’s job and for that I am very thankful. A little side note
is that it is adding for each log entry a post type to WordPress. On 200.000 API
calls per week it has brough our order numbers from #600000 to #900000 within 10
days. Therefore leaving it enabled may not be so recommended. I have disabled it
again now. Don’t know if this is solveable but just thought it would be a nice side
note.

The clowns leaving this a 1 star obviously don’t know what it’s intended for… Yes…
do NOT leave this plugin running constantly unless you know what you’re doing and
understand your particular WP environment and it’s day to day API activity. More
plugins than ever use the REST API to interact with WP and your database will increase
in size exponential to it’s activity. For most people this tool is intended to help
troubleshoot specific API activities and is something that you only turn on for 
a short period of time while you’re testing/monitoring specific API calls and responses….
and for that, it works beautifully. Thank you!!

This extension will make your database huge, so be aware of this if using in production.
I’d recommend turning it on for a short period then disabling. Filtering by request
method (POST, GET etc.) does not work. Deleting data (at /options-general.php?page
=wp-rest-api-log-settings) takes an absolute age, I’m tempted to do this manually
in the database. I have ~105,000 log entries. I wish to delete these. According 
to the API responses, ~100 logs are being deleted every minute. I’m making direct
POST requests to the WordPress API (using Postman) and the request method displayed
in the log is always GET.The source IP is not always recorded – have tried the IP/
X forwarded for option to resolve the IP too.

its trash. whilst i do like the idea of the plugin, this tool is simply not working
properly. guess it’s abandoned. there is a filter build in to filter for the request
type, but it does not work (simply doesn’t filter at all). and there is an option,
to purge logs, that are older than x days, but this doesn’t work ether. and deleting
the logs takes ages, you might want to do that in the db directly. so handle with
care, as it will bloat the db and it’ll be hard to find the data, you might be looking
for..
