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).

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

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)
