Sample logs-

2. However, when I start the binary using language bindings with 'verbose': 'true' as mentioned here the logs generated are very limited.

Sample logs-

According to this code, you can provide value as ‘3' for 'verbose’ parameter and it will start verbose as 3 -

exports.bs_local.start({'key': exports.config['browserstackKey'], forceLocal: true, force: true, 'verbose': '3', 'logFile': './logs.txt' }, function(error) {

You need to update here- https://github.com/browserstack/protractor-browserstack/blob/master/conf/local.conf.js#L21

Note - Possible values for 'verbose' modifier are '1', '2', '3' and 'true'
