Client logs contain log information sent with the platform's Logger API.
This also includes contextual information about the device, including
environment, application name, and application version.
Before you begin
If you are using the
WL.Client.logActivity API,
replace those calls with
WL.Analytics.log. Otherwise
you cannot create custom charts from the information you are logging.
Note: The
steps that follow use JavaScript APIs.
If you are using a native application, you must use the native versions
of these APIs.
About this task

chart. The final graph shows the distribution of log levels in a specific
