Logcat Management

Effectively managing logcat filters and sessions is key to maximizing the utility of ADBLogger. This guide explains how to configure and utilize logcat filters to tailor the log output to your specific needs.

Setting Logcat Filters

  1. Access the Filter Configuration: Navigate to the 'Device Management' category within ADBLogger.
  2. Define Your Filter: Enter a custom filter string in the provided field. Use logcat command-line syntax, such as -s Unity to only show logs related to Unity.

Creating and Managing Log Consoles

  • Creating a Console: Select your device and click 'Create Console'. This starts a log session with the specified filter.
  • Modifying Filters: To change a filter, stop the current log session, update the filter, and restart the session.

Best Practices

  • Filter by Priority: Use tags like E for error, W for warning, etc., to focus on specific types of log messages.
  • Combine Filters: Combine multiple tags and priorities to refine your log output, such as -s Unity:I *:S to show only info logs from Unity.

By mastering logcat management, you can streamline your debugging process, making it more efficient and focused.
