# Log (*log*) ## Overview Submit logs to the Log Handler for Plex Media Server ### Available Operations * [log_line](#log_line) - Logging a single line message. * [log_multi_line](#log_multi_line) - Logging a multi-line message * [enable_paper_trail](#enable_paper_trail) - Enabling Papertrail ## log_line This endpoint will write a single-line log message, including a level and source to the main Plex Media Server log. ### Example Usage ```python from plex_api_client import PlexAPI from plex_api_client.models import operations s = PlexAPI( access_token="", x_plex_client_identifier="gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40", ) res = s.log.log_line(level=operations.Level.THREE, message="Test log message", source="Postman") if res is not None: # handle response pass ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `level` | [operations.Level](../../models/operations/level.md) | :heavy_check_mark: | An integer log level to write to the PMS log with.
0: Error

| | | `message` | *str* | :heavy_check_mark: | The text of the message to write to the log. | Test log message | | `source` | *str* | :heavy_check_mark: | a string indicating the source of the message. | Postman | | `retries` | [Optional[utils.RetryConfig]](../../models/utils/retryconfig.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | Configuration to override the default retry behavior of the client. | | ### Response **[operations.LogLineResponse](../../models/operations/loglineresponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Object | Status Code | Content Type | | -------------------------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------- | | errors.LogLineBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | errors.LogLineUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | errors.SDKError | 4xx-5xx | */* | ## log_multi_line 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 ```python from plex_api_client import PlexAPI s = PlexAPI( access_token="", x_plex_client_identifier="gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40", ) res = s.log.log_multi_line(request="level=4&message=Test%20message%201&source=postman\n" + "level=3&message=Test%20message%202&source=postman\n" + "level=1&message=Test%20message%203&source=postman") if res is not None: # handle response pass ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `request` | [str](../../models/.md) | :heavy_check_mark: | The request object to use for the request. | | `retries` | [Optional[utils.RetryConfig]](../../models/utils/retryconfig.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | Configuration to override the default retry behavior of the client. | ### Response **[operations.LogMultiLineResponse](../../models/operations/logmultilineresponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Object | Status Code | Content Type | | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | | errors.LogMultiLineBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | errors.LogMultiLineUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | errors.SDKError | 4xx-5xx | */* | ## enable_paper_trail This endpoint will enable all Plex Media Serverlogs to be sent to the Papertrail networked logging site for a period of time. ### Example Usage ```python from plex_api_client import PlexAPI s = PlexAPI( access_token="", x_plex_client_identifier="gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40", ) res = s.log.enable_paper_trail() if res is not None: # handle response pass ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `retries` | [Optional[utils.RetryConfig]](../../models/utils/retryconfig.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | Configuration to override the default retry behavior of the client. | ### Response **[operations.EnablePaperTrailResponse](../../models/operations/enablepapertrailresponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Object | Status Code | Content Type | | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | errors.EnablePaperTrailBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | errors.EnablePaperTrailUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | errors.SDKError | 4xx-5xx | */* |
