Log Plotly Chart

This module displays a real-time, dynamic line chart featuring the latest database log entries (from Drupal's core `dblog` module) using a completely local installation of the Plotly.js library.

Instead of showing a single messy timeline, the module automatically processes and splits the logs into separate, independent lines (traces) based on their category type (e.g., `php`, `cron`, `user`, `content`, `page not found`). It also features an interactive legend on the right side that allows administrators to show or hide specific log types in real-time.

Requirements
Drupal 11 core.

Core Database Logging (dblog) module enabled (writes events to the local watchdog table).

Installation & Library Manual Setup
To keep this module lightweight and independent of third-party wrappers or network-dependent CDNs, the Plotly JavaScript asset must be placed locally in the file system:

Create a plotly subdirectory inside your global Drupal root libraries folder:

/libraries/plotly/

Download the official production-ready minified Plotly script (plotly-latest.min.js) from the official project distribution channels:

Direct Download Link: https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.min.js

Move that file into the directory you just created. The final path must match this exact pattern:

/libraries/plotly/plotly-latest.min.js

Enable the Log Plotly Chart module from your Extend administrative interface (/admin/modules) or using Drush:

Bash
drush en log_plotly_chart
