  FlutterSocketLogPlugin.createLogLevel(
    'Critical',
    Colors.cyan.value,
    Icons.warning.codePoint,
  ),
  FlutterSocketLogPlugin.createLogLevel(
    'Alert',

    Colors.blue.value,
    Icons.network_wifi.codePoint,
  ),
  FlutterSocketLogPlugin.createTag(
    'Response',
    Colors.green.value,

Add customizations to init function

FlutterSocketLogPlugin.init(

  logTags: logTags,
);

Start Logging

FlutterSocketLogPlugin.log(

Logger.debugNetwork('Write your log here');

Log Tags and Log Levels

Log Tags and Log Levels are customizable which means that you can create your own by custom names, colors as well as icons. As a result you can get those in the client application.
