SysLog

About this app

Records various log types and compresses them as a zip file.
The logs are saved in the application's private cache directory
named by the date and time.

You can access the zip files through the system document picker
- Select the SysLog app to view collected log zips.

Log types supported:

* Kernel logs (dmsg)
* Last kernel log (last_kmsg, if device supports it)
* Main log (Logcat)
* Modem log
* Event logs
* SELinux audit logs

To enable access to some logs (Logcat and Radio) to SysLog, you
will need to grant the READ_LOGS permision using a computer with
ADB.

From a command line with adb available, you can grant the READ_LOGS
permission via the following command:

adb shell pm grant com.tortel.syslog android.permission.READ_LOGS

This command tells the phone's package manager to grant the
READ_LOGS permission to SysLog.

Ratings and reviews

After January 2024 update the app isnt functional and freezes during collection and exportion of logs no matter how many nor their size. Recommend reverting to prior version with manual install via f droid.

I have had this phone for about 2-4 years and a few months ago it stared freezing uncontrollably and some people suggested this app but I think it might made the freezing a bit worse. It froze while I was reviewing this too.

Uhm, I can't see wrong in this app, this app really work (for rooted device) I use this app to see if my app (does rooted app I also use) does it really running perfectly and I see no wrong, and everything on "live log" shows what I opened so, just you really need root, though it's 2020, I still use root on my Android 9 phone for costume ROM, root apps and some CPU/GPU tweaks
