Logs (Securely manage your app logs)

How do I enable and configure Logs for my applications?

Install the ByteHide Logs SDK in your application.
Initialize the SDK with your API key.
Set the log levels (Info, Warning, Error, Debug, etc.).
Enable encryption to protect sensitive data.
Configure log destinations (cloud storage, local file, console).

Once configured, your application will automatically send logs to the ByteHide cloud, ensuring centralized access and security.

What types of events does Logs capture?

Logs can capture various types of events, including:

✔ Application errors & crashes
✔ User activity tracking
✔ System warnings & debugging information
✔ Security incidents (unauthorized access, suspicious behavior)
✔ Custom logs defined by developers

You can customize which events to log based on your needs.

How can I search and filter logs efficiently?

Use the ByteHide Logs Dashboard to filter logs by:

✔ Date range (e.g., "Show logs from the last 24 hours")
✔ Severity level (Info, Warning, Error, Debug)
✔ Keywords & tags (e.g., "user login", "API failure")
✔ Application version & device details

Advanced filtering helps you quickly identify critical issues.

Does Logs support real-time monitoring?

Yes! Logs provides real-time monitoring with:

✔ Live log streaming in the dashboard
✔ Instant alerts for security incidents
✔ Automated anomaly detection

How long are logs stored, and can I adjust retention settings?

Logs are securely stored in the ByteHide cloud with customizable retention periods:

✔ Default storage: 30 days
✔ Extended retention: Up to 1 year (configurable)
✔ Custom policies: Set retention per project or log type

What are the best practices for analyzing security logs?

✔ Monitor failed login attempts to detect brute-force attacks.
✔ Track API access logs to identify unauthorized requests.
✔ Use correlation IDs to trace requests across services.
✔ Filter logs by severity to focus on critical incidents.
✔ Enable encryption to protect sensitive log data.
