Overview
flutter_logs is a comprehensive file-based logging framework designed for Flutter applications, enabling detailed and structured logging with support for the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana). It allows developers to save logs to local files, making it easier to debug and analyze app behavior over time. The package supports both Android and iOS platforms, offering configurable log levels, rotation, and retention policies. Ideal for production debugging and monitoring, it enhances visibility into app performance and errors through persistent, searchable log files.
