A filter configuration is a set of filtering parameters. The use of filter configurations provides more flexible control over the type and amount of log data displayed than just specifying the information type by choosing a message priority in the Log level drop-down list.

• To display messages related to the selected process, select Show only selected application.

• If you want full log data to be displayed, select No Filters from the drop-down list.

• To apply a filter, select it from the drop-down list.

• To create a new filter configuration, select Edit Filter Configuration. In the Create New Logcat Filter dialog box that opens, click Add and specify the following filtering parameters:

  • Log Tag: use this parameter if you only want messages from a certain system component to be displayed. Type a regular expression to specify the tag that indicates the relevant system component, such as ActivityManager, AudioService, etc., or a user-defined tag. For more details, see Filtering Log Output.

  • Log Message: use this parameter if you only want messages that contain certain elements or character strings to be displayed. Type a regular expression that defines the character string to be detected.

  • Package Name: use this parameter if you only want messages that refer to a specific Java package (class path) to be displayed.

  • PID: use this parameter if you only want messages that refer to a specific process (process ID) to be displayed.

  • Log Level: use this parameter if you only want messages with a certain priority level to be displayed.

• To update a filter, select Edit Filter Configuration, then in the Create New Logcat Filter dialog that opens select a filter from the list and edit the filter values.

• To remove a filter configuration from the list, choose Edit Filter Configuration. In the Create New Logcat Filter dialog box that opens, select the filter and click Delete .
