Playwright generates a lot of logs and they are accessible via the pluggable logger sink.

```js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');  // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.

(async () => {
  const browser = await chromium.launch({
    logger: {
      isEnabled: (name, severity) => name === 'browser',
      log: (name, severity, message, args) => console.log(`${name} ${message}`)
    }
  });
  ...
})();
```


- [logger.isEnabled(name, severity)](api/class-logger.md#loggerisenabledname-severity)
- [logger.log(name, severity, message, args, hints)](api/class-logger.md#loggerlogname-severity-message-args-hints)

## logger.isEnabled(name, severity)
- `name` <[string]> logger name
- `severity` <"verbose"|"info"|"warning"|"error">
- returns: <[boolean]>

Determines whether sink is interested in the logger with the given name and severity.

## logger.log(name, severity, message, args, hints)
- `name` <[string]> logger name
- `severity` <"verbose"|"info"|"warning"|"error">
- `message` <[string]|[Error]> log message format
- `args` <[Array]<[Object]>> message arguments
- `hints` <[Object]> optional formatting hints
  - `color` <[string]> Optional preferred logger color.
