Additional table or spot to track progress messages/debug info #23

Hi @romanzipp,

I had a very similar idea to this package but luckily I searched first and found yours! It's a lot more advanced than what I was thinking.

The original reason I had thought of this idea was to be able to store debug info in a database table instead of in log files. With your package, this is possible via the data column. However, I also want to store data about the job somewhere too (model ID, etc). It feels messy to mix data about the job with the debug/log messages in the same column.

Would you consider either adding another column or possibly a second table to track messages? A second table could be useful because you could track extra data along with the message such as a timestamp, severity, etc.

I'd be happy to submit a PR for this if you're up for the feature!

Currently, I'm also using the data field for model relations by storing IDs & types in a _references field.

I don't think a second table is needed for the whole package and all users. Nonetheless you are free to replace the existing Monitor model and add some custom relations.
