We provide sample code here for how remote logging with user approval can be enabled.
| from flask import Flask, request | |
| import uuid | |
| app = Flask(__name__) | |
| @app.route('/error_endpoint', methods=['POST']) | |
| def receive_error_message(): | |
| error_message = request.form.get('error_message') | |
| if error_message: | |
| unique_filename = str(uuid.uuid4()) + ".txt" | |
| with open(unique_filename, 'w') as file: | |
| file.write(error_message) | |
| return "Error message received and stored successfully!" | |
| else: | |
| return "Error: No error message received." | |
| if __name__ == '__main__': | |
| app.run(port=5001) |
