Overview

Logging mechanism to allow clients to log to the server

Available Operations

• writeLog - Logging a multi-line message to the Plex Media Server log
• writeMessage - Logging a single-line message to the Plex Media Server log
• enablePapertrail - Enabling Papertrail

writeLog

This endpoint will write multiple lines to the main Plex Media Server log in a single request. It takes a set of query strings as would normally sent to the above PUT endpoint as a linefeed-separated block of POST data. The parameters for each query string match as above.

Example Usage

import { PlexAPI } from "@lukehagar/plexjs";
import { openAsBlob } from "node:fs";

const plexAPI = new PlexAPI({
  token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
});

async function run() {
  await plexAPI.log.writeLog(await openAsBlob("example.file"));


}

run();

Standalone function

The standalone function version of this method:

import { PlexAPICore } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/core.js";
import { logWriteLog } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/funcs/logWriteLog.js";
import { openAsBlob } from "node:fs";

// Use `PlexAPICore` for best tree-shaking performance.
// You can create one instance of it to use across an application.
const plexAPI = new PlexAPICore({
  token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
});

async function run() {
  const res = await logWriteLog(plexAPI, await openAsBlob("example.file"));
  if (res.ok) {
    const { value: result } = res;
    
  } else {
    console.log("logWriteLog failed:", res.error);
  }
}

run();
