Logging, trend log, resident scripts... best practices

[admin]

Add this to common functions:

Code:

local current_log_level = 0 -- adjust as needed

function log_level(level, ...)
  if current_log_level >= level then
    log(...)
  end
end

Then specify log level as first argument to log_level() function and use it the same as standard log(). The only limitation is that this approach will not work for resident scripts as common functions library is loaded only once when script starts.
