Syntax

public enum LogFileFormat

Fields

Name	Description
JSON	Machine-readable JSON Lines (JSONL) format. Each log entry is serialized as a single self-contained JSON object on its own line, containing named fields for timestamp, level, category, message, file, and line number. Log files use the .json extension. This format integrates directly with log aggregation pipelines such as the ELK stack, Splunk, or Grafana Loki, and is recommended when automated log analysis is required.
PlainText	Human-readable plain text format. Each log entry is written as a single line of text containing the enabled metadata fields (timestamp, code location, prefix, level label, category, message) separated by spaces. Log files use the .log extension. This is the default format and is best suited for reading directly in a text editor or tail-following in a terminal.
