Description

From https://github.com/piwik/piwik/issues/7239#issuecomment-139045034

This is probably not achievable easily, but it would be great if we could change the log level just for the LogViewer page. Ie, selecting DEBUG in the LogViewer would display DEBUG logs, but they wouldn't get written to the database or file (so they would have to be written to a temporary location and then removed later).

Research direction

Start by tracing the LogViewer page and the current log writer configuration, including database, file, and screen writers. Determine how the page could receive DEBUG messages without changing normal logging or leaving temporary data behind; done means the selected log level is visible in the open viewer even when no persistent writer is configured.
