CodeIgniter has some error logging functions built in. You can log any errors to system log with function log_message

Also you can set log level in your application/config/config.php here is the sample settings:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Error Logging Threshold
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|       0                           = Disables logging, Error logging TURNED OFF
|       1                           = Error Messages (including PHP errors)
|       2                           = Debug Messages
|       3                           = Informational Messages
|       4                           = All Messages|
*/

• Make your /application/logs folder writable
• In /application/config/config.php set
  $config['log_threshold'] = 1;
  or use a higher number, depending on how much detail you want in your logs
• Use log_message('error', 'Some variable did not contain a value.');

Hope it will help you.
