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

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

    ->setXPlexClientIdentifier('Postman')
    ->setSecurity($security)->build();

try {
    'level=4&message=Test%20message%201&source=postman
level=3&message=Test%20message%202&source=postman
level=1&message=Test%20message%203&source=postman';

    $response = $sdk->log->logMultiLine($request);

    if ($response->statusCode === 200) {
        // handle response
    }
} catch (Throwable $e) {
    // handle exception
}
