Custom keywords let you highlight words or phrases that matter to your own site, plugin, theme or debugging workflow.
Figure 3. Custom keywords — 3.1 Add keyword, 3.2 Keyword field, 3.3 Save keyword, 3.4 Edit.
3.1 Add keyword
Click + Add keyword to start a new keyword entry.
3.2 Add a custom keyword
Enter a custom word or short phrase you want to highlight, for example fatal, timeout or Undefined array key.

When a loaded log contains your custom words or phrases, matching lines can be highlighted and reviewed with the Custom filter.

Troubleshooting: Custom keywords
- Too many highlights: the keyword is too generic → edit it to be more specific.
- No highlight: check spelling and spacing. The keyword must match the text in the loaded log preview.
