Toggle to turn ALL logging on for X minutes

Would it be possible to get a toggle added to the settings that would allow us to toggle logging on for all devices and apps for a short period say 1-5 minutes? This c(w)ould help dramatically with tracing sudden slow downs and other random issues on hubs.

Even for those with just a few devices it can take a couple minutes to go in and enable logging on everything to check for problems, for those with 50, 100, 200+ devices, or a slew of apps/rules it could literally take hours to go in and manually enable logging on everything one by one to look for problems, not to mention the extra time checking the logs batch by batch looking for problem devices and the potential to miss other issues if the right combination of devices/apps/drivers aren't run in a batch together so the issue presents. this way you can enable everything and fairly quickly test your rules/auto mations against everything else and be more likely to encounter and log the issue.

I think turning on debug logging for all devices would/could in itself cause an immediate slowdown and could lock up the hub. With intense logging, it might make it harder to detect issues. I would like to see the ability to do remote logging. That could make it easier to do some analyse of the logs easier and possibly reduce the hub load.

This has been requested before as well. It would require a new method to be added to every driver on the system. That isn't practical for many different reasons.
