Storing Error Logs in Database

I am trying to find the easiest path to storing log events in a database as opposed to in a log file. It seems like the only way this can be done is by extending the logger class here vendor\codeigniter4\framework\system\Log\Logger.php and then creating an additional method that is invoked when the "write to file" method is invoked, changing it with a "write to database" method. 

I will need to extend the core functionality(creating an additional class), per the documentation: https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/e...re-classes

Any recommendations or code sharing is greatly appreciated.
