SysLog

A simple open-source tool for quickly taking and sharing system logs.Root is required for Android 4.1+, and recommended for all versions.
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

After taking logs, it compresses them into a single zip, and allows you to share or upload them right away
- great for helping debug system issues.

New in v2.0.0: Support for viewing the current system logs in near-real time.

You can also include notes within the zip, and append up to 10 characters to the file name.

New feature in v1.2: Grep the logs for a string. This will run the logs through grep before adding them to the zip. This is case sensitive! It will also automatically add a line to the end of the notes describing which logs and what string was used.

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

WHY ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT ROOT?? Seriously, didnt you know that accessing / partition requires root? Why give the developer no stars for that? If you could use this app without rooting your phone that means that essentially you could run a command on your phone that bricks it. Seriously, read a bit before you cry about it not working.

Accidentally told it to share logs wih other devices, which did not work. Never again would it allow me to upload logfiles to google drive or use email. Even after reinstalling.

App works great. if I knew how to troubleshoot the results that would be better, but that is my problem, not the app.

Works on OnePlus 6 (Other logcats don't work on this device). It would be nice if in logcat live mode it was possible to filter the contents

doesn't seem to provide any realtime view of inbound syslog messages. .. is it a syslog server or just a log extractor.?

The Root thing should be written in the first line. It requires root. Or it doesn't work. UNINSTALLING.

Use this command in ADB to grant the permission necessary for reading logs on unrooted phones: adb shell pm grant com.tortel.syslog android.permission.READ_LOGS Thank you for this great little app making saving & sharing logs so fast & easy. My Galaxy Galaxy S3 has ROOT & running LineageOS 14.1 which is based on Android 7.1 (Nougat). I don't understand reviewers giving only 1 star because they can't read the description above which clearly says "Root is required for Android 4.1+". It's not the app's fault if they are blind! Working great also on Galaxy S5 G900M klteub running LineageOS 15.1 (Oreo 8.1) and on Pie 9.0 (LineageOS 16.0). I used the adb permission on a NOT rooted Galaxy S5 Mini G800H running stock Samsung 6.0.1 Marshmallow & it also works fine on it.

Saved log files are empty - zero bytes!
