1. Head over to your Xano dashboard.
2. Find the "API" section on the left sidebar.
3. Hit the "Add API" button to start a new API group, or pick an existing one to add the endpoint to.
4. Click "Add Endpoint" and choose "POST" because logging usually means sending data to be stored.

1. Give your endpoint a name (like /custom-log).
2. In the "Function Stack" of this endpoint, you'll set up what happens when data is sent here.
3. Click "Add Function" and pick "Add Input".
4. Define the input parameters you expect for your logs (like message, level, timestamp).
5. Click "Add Function" again, and choose "Insert Row" to save the log in a database.

1. Go to the "Database" section on the left sidebar.
2. Click "Add Table" to create a new table for storing logs (maybe call it logs).
3. Define the fields in your logs table to match the inputs you set up:
   • id: Auto-incrementing ID.
   • message: Text field for the log message.
   • level: Text field for the log level (like INFO, ERROR).
   • timestamp: DateTime field for the log timestamp.

1. Go back to your newly created endpoint in the API section.
2. In the "Function Stack", find the "Insert Row" function you added earlier.
3. Click on it and map the inputs (message, level, timestamp) to the matching fields in your logs database table.

1. Click "Run" or "Test Endpoint" in your endpoint configuration.
2. Provide sample inputs for message, level, and timestamp.
3. Run the test and make sure the data is correctly inserted into the logs table in your database.

1. Use the endpoint URL from your Xano dashboard in your application.
2. Make HTTP POST requests to this URL, including the necessary log data (like message, level, timestamp).
3. Check that logs are being stored correctly in your logs database table as expected.

1. Periodically review your logs table for stored log entries.
2. Adjust the endpoint or database schema as needed to capture more detailed logging info or to filter logs more efficiently.

This detailed step-by-step guide should help set up custom logging in Xano effectively.
