HTTPS_LOGLEVEL instructions

[LaudixGit]

Describe Your Goal
What is the best way to change the HTTPS_LOGLEVEL in Arduino IDE

What Does Your Project Look Like
If I directly edit "~\Arduino\libraries\ESP32_HTTPS_Server\src\HTTPSServerConstants.hpp" I can supress the log messages.
lines 11, 12, 13

#ifndef HTTPS_LOGLEVEL
  #define HTTPS_LOGLEVEL 2
#endif

But I am reluctant to modify library source code.

If I add my own define statement, it is ignored.

#define HTTPS_LOGLEVEL 1    //suppress alerts 
#include <HTTPSServer.hpp>
#include <SSLCert.hpp>

Which is very surprising since #ifndef is used in the library!

The README has a section for PlatformIO.
I was hoping for guidance with the Ardunio IDE (I know, I need to switch to PlatformIO, but it is not practical mid-project)

ESP32 Module
ESP32-ETH01

Software (please complete the following information if applicable)

• IDE and Version: Arduino 1.8.15

Additional context
I recognize this is not really a esp32_https_server question, but more of a IDE question. But this is the only time I've not seen my define variable fail to override the library one, so maybe you've seen this already?
