Device Event Log

This directory contains code for logging device and system events.

Usage

Use device event log macros to record events without contributing to noise in the chrome log.

• Events are stored in a circular buffer (current limit is 4000).
• Events can be viewed at chrome://device-log. Events can be filtered by type and level.
• Events show up in feedback reports under device_event_log.
• Network events are separated out into a network_event_log section.
• ERROR events will also be logged to the main chrome log.
• All events can be logged to the main chrome log using vlog: --vmodule=device_event_log*=1

The events can also be queried for viewing in other informational pages, e.g:

device_event_log::GetAsString(device_event_log::OLDEST_FIRST, "json",
                              "bluetooth", device_event_log::LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG,
                              1000);

Examples

Typical usage:

NET_LOG(EVENT) << "NetworkState Changed " << name << ": " << state;

POWER_LOG(USER) << "Suspend requested";

POWER_LOG(DEBUG) << "Sending suspend request to dbus object: " << path;

BLUETOOTH_LOG(ERROR) << "Unrecognized DBus error " << error_name;

Advanced usage:

device_event_log::LogLevel log_level =
      SuppressError(dbus_error_message) ? device_event_log::LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
                                        : device_event_log::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR;
DEVICE_LOG(device_event_log::LOG_TYPE_NETWORK, log_level) << detail;

USB_PLOG(DEBUG) << "Failed to set configuration " << configuration_value;
