481c4d75e77d mod_log_ringbuffer: New module to send logs to an in-memory ringbuffer Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	10 Sometimes debug logs are too verbose for continuous logging to disk. However
481c4d75e77d mod_log_ringbuffer: New module to send logs to an in-memory ringbuffer Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	11 occasionally you may be interested in the debug logs when a certain event occurs.
