# Log
(*Log*)
## Overview
Submit logs to the Log Handler for Plex Media Server

* [LogLine](#logline) - Logging a single line message.
* [LogMultiLine](#logmultiline) - Logging a multi-line message
* [EnablePaperTrail](#enablepapertrail) - Enabling Papertrail
## LogLine
This endpoint will write a single-line log message, including a level and source to the main Plex Media Server log.
### Example Usage
```csharp
using PlexAPI;
using PlexAPI.Models.Components;
using PlexAPI.Models.Requests;
var sdk = new PlexAPISDK(AccessToken: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>");
var res = await sdk.Log.LogLineAsync(
level: Level.Three,
message: "Test log message",
source: "Postman");
// handle response
```
### Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Level` | [Level](../../Models/Requests/Level.md) | :heavy_check_mark: | An integer log level to write to the PMS log with. <br/>0: Error <br/>1: Warning <br/>2: Info <br/>3: Debug <br/>4: Verbose<br/> | |
| `Message` | *string* | :heavy_check_mark: | The text of the message to write to the log. | Test log message |
| `Source` | *string* | :heavy_check_mark: | a string indicating the source of the message. | Postman |
### Response
**[LogLineResponse](../../Models/Requests/LogLineResponse.md)**
## LogMultiLine
This endpoint allows for the batch addition of log entries to the main Plex Media Server log.
It accepts a text/plain request body, where each line represents a distinct log entry.
Each log entry consists of URL-encoded key-value pairs, specifying log attributes such as 'level', 'message', and 'source'.
Log entries are separated by a newline character (`\n`).
Each entry's parameters should be URL-encoded to ensure accurate parsing and handling of special characters.
This method is efficient for logging multiple entries in a single API call, reducing the overhead of multiple individual requests.
The 'level' parameter specifies the log entry's severity or importance, with the following integer values:
- `0`: Error - Critical issues that require immediate attention.
- `1`: Warning - Important events that are not critical but may indicate potential issues.
- `2`: Info - General informational messages about system operation.
- `3`: Debug - Detailed information useful for debugging purposes.
- `4`: Verbose - Highly detailed diagnostic information for in-depth analysis.
The 'message' parameter contains the log text, and 'source' identifies the log message's origin (e.g., an application name or module).
Example of a single log entry format:
`level=4&message=Sample%20log%20entry&source=applicationName`
Ensure each parameter is properly URL-encoded to avoid interpretation issues.
### Example Usage
```csharp
using PlexAPI;
using PlexAPI.Models.Components;
var sdk = new PlexAPISDK(AccessToken: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>");
string req = "level=4&message=Test%20message%201&source=postman
level=3&message=Test%20message%202&source=postman
level=1&message=Test%20message%203&source=postman";
var res = await sdk.Log.LogMultiLineAsync(req);
// handle response
```
### Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| `request` | *string* | :heavy_check_mark: | The request object to use for the request. |
