 * Hi,
    I run this plugin on all of my sites. I installed the plugin on a site that
   is running multisite. There isn’t a bug or anything. Just not clear on how to
   configure it for multisite. I have a top level site and then a child site (just
   one right now). I plan to have more child sites in the future. There’s only one
   wp-config.php file, so I’m assuming that I should be monitoring things from the
   top level site only. If there’s a PHP error on the child site, will it be logged
   in the file specified in the top level site?
 * Thanks in advance and Thank you for your plugin. Just wrote a 5-star review for
   it!
 * Darren

 * I haven’t actually tested it with Multisite, but I can make an educated guess.
   As you said, there’s only one `wp-config.php` file, which means that settings
   in that file must apply to all sites. If the log file name is specified in `wp-
   config.php`, all PHP errors from WordPress will get logged in the same file. 
   So as long as error logging is working at all, you will see messages from *all*
   child sites in the dashboard widget.

 * On a multisite install, having this on the Network dashboard would be best. Unfortunately,
   at the moment, widget will only be displayed on the individual site dashboards.(
   Technically, it works fine.)

 * It’s fairly easy to make the widget show up in the Network dashboard. I just 
   made that change in [the development version](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/error-log-monitor.zip).
   I also adjusted the permissions to prevent regular administrators from clearing
   the log.
 * This still isn’t full Multisite support, but at least you’ll be able to check
   the log without going to individual sites.
