About SysLog

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.
