Console logs recording

PostHog can capture console logs, info, warnings, and errors from your application. This is useful for debugging and providing extra context on what is happening in your user's browser environment.

As console logs can contain sensitive information, we do not capture these logs automatically. You can enable this feature globally either from your project settings or client-side by setting enable_recording_console_log: true in our JavaScript Web SDK config.

posthog.init('<ph_project_api_key>', {
    api_host: 'https://us.i.posthog.com',
    enable_recording_console_log: true, 
    // ... other options
})

Important: Individual console logs are truncated at 2000 characters. The rest of the log is not sent to PostHog. When truncating a log message we add ...[Truncated] to the message.
