var res = await sdk.Log.LogLineAsync(
    level: Level.Three,
    message: "Test log message",
    source: "Postman"
);

// handle response

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

using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components;

var sdk = new PlexAPI(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
