Logger behaviour

[AntonyARHS]

Hello,

I'm not sure if I'm finding the right information in the Elastic APM Agent documentation.

Does it collect/upload all the logs generated by the application (using Log.i, Log.d etc...)?

If yes what is the strategy followed by the agent to save them, sending them.. ?

Thank you very much,

Hi @AntonyARHS

At the moment we're not automatically sending logs, we are however thinking about adding that functionality in the future. In the meantime, you could still send them manually by using OTel's API like so:

Logger logger = GlobalOpenTelemetry.get().getLogsBridge().get("LOG_TAG");
logger.logRecordBuilder()
    .setTimestamp(System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
    .setBody("My log body")
    .emit();

I hope it helps!

Hope we will see this feature soon as well as support for Android Compose system, that would be so nice ⭐
