Console Toolbar
The ADBLogger Console toolbar is a central component of the interface, providing quick access to functionalities essential for effective log management. It lets you start or stop log capturing, clear logs, manage filters, watchers, and highlighters, and handle exports, all within a few clicks.
Key Features
Logcat Control
At the heart of the toolbar is the Logcat Control button, which toggles the log capturing process. It switches between Active and Inactive states, visually indicated by intuitive icons.
| State | Icon | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Green light | Click to stop log capture |
| Inactive | Red light | Click to start log capture using the default or previously set filter |
Clear and Export
The Clear button removes all current logs from the console, giving you a clean slate for new entries.
The Export dropdown offers two options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Export to Text | Saves logs in plain text format |
| Export to JSON | Saves logs in JSON format for further processing or analysis |
Feature Toggles
The toolbar includes toggles for accessing and managing Filters, Watchers, and Highlighters. Each one is critical for refining what logs you see and how they are processed:
- Filters – manage rules that logs must pass to be displayed
- Watchers – set up alerts for specific log patterns
- Highlighters – highlight logs based on specific criteria
Custom Toggles and Search
Custom toggles on the right side of the toolbar refine displayed logs based on severity or other criteria. These toggles can be configured in settings and include a count of matching logs.
The Search Field filters logs displayed in the console based on text matches. A clear button appears when text is entered, letting you reset the search quickly.
Auto Scroll
The Auto Scroll checkbox enables the console to automatically scroll to the latest log entries as they arrive. This is essential for real-time log monitoring.
