### 2. Use Global Logging
##### 2.1 Init and Use
First you must import the logging module
```python
import logging # Global logger
```
Now you can send log messages with:
```python
logging.LOGLEVEL("MESSAGE")
```
You must replace the word `LOGLEVEL` with one if the following `debug`, `info`, `warning`, `error`, `exception` or `critical`
To use the right loglevel see next section `2.2 Choose right Loglevel`
##### 2.2 Choose right Loglevel
`debug`
all messages to find errors and for the internal program flow
`info`
messages that serve only to inform the user
`warning`
`error`
error does not lead to the end of boswatch
`Exception`
`critical`
errors leading to the end of boswatch immediate - in plugins not allowed
### 3. Use config file
##### 3.1 Own configuration in config.ini
First you must set a new Section in `config.ini`
A section is between brackets. Its recommended to give the section the same name as the plugin. `[SECTION_NAME]`
