About RxLogger

Overview

RxLogger is a software utility included with every Zebra device that provides centralized control of application and system logging, and can easily customize output metrics for targeted diagnostics purposes. At the core of RxLogger is diagdaemon, a Zebra-built logging service that collects data and event logs from the Android kernel, logcat and other system components, and stores them in a single location where they can be filtered and displayed. Through an easy-to-use GUI interface, RxLogger also can change the type and frequency of data collection and control how much data is stored on the device.

Screens and States

The startup screen of RxLogger contains four simple buttons that change in appearance depending on its state. RxLogger's title bar also reflects the state, and its version number is visible in the lower-right corner.
