RxLogger Utility main screen
Four modules are listed in the Diagnostic screen of RxLogger Utility, each providing access to the related realtime logs described in the subsequent sections:

Resource - displays system resource information such as battery, CPU, memory, radio, etc.
Logcat - captures logs from Android's Logcat logging tool
Kernel - logs kernel messages
Snapshot - provides detailed logs that capture comprehensive system information at a single point in time

Note: After tapping on a module or submodule to display information, it may take a few moments for the information to be seen.

Resource

The Resource module displays various information such as battery, screen, CPU temperature, physical memory, WAN details, BSSID details, Bluetooth details, ambient light etc. Resource screen

Logcat

Logcat captures logs from Android's Logcat logging tool, where events captured are categorized into separate modules. Logcat screen
Logcat modules:

System – Logcat “system” buffer. Constains messages from system services (power manager, battery, package manager etc.).
Main – Logcat “main” buffer. Mainly used for application/framework logs. Good place to start to get a general idea of what the system is doing at a given time.
Event – Logcat “event” buffer. Contains messages regarding creating/destroying of activities and services. Helpful for troubleshooting application/service crashes.
Crash – Logcat “crash” buffer. Contains messages related to system crashes.
Radio – Logcat “radio” buffer. Contains messages from the RIL and other cellular components.

Kernel Log

Kernel Log displays realtime kernel messages. Kernel Log

Snapshot

Snapshots are detailed logs of system resources, network, file system, power, usage statistics, etc. Snapshots are intended to provide a second level analysis based on information obtained from Logcat. They are recorded once every 30 minutes by default, but the logging frequency can be configured through RxLogger settings. The snapshot screen lists multiple submodules. Tap on the submodule to view the realtime log corresponding with the submodule. Snapshot screen
Snapshot submodules:

Top - Shows the running processes that consume the most system resources
CPU info - Lists the CPU information per process
Memory info - Lists the complete memory usage
Battery Info - Displays battery information
Wake Locks - Displays sys/fs wake_lock information
Time in State - Displays sys/fs CPU frequency for each core
Processes - Displays a list of all the processes and PID
Threads - Displays a list of all the thread details with PID and context
Properties - Lists all the properties in the system
Interfaces - Lists all the network interfaces
IP Routing Table - Displays IP addresses and routing table information
Connectivity - Displays all network connectivity related information
Wifi - Displays all WiFi related information
File Systems - Displays all available file systems, paths and available use percentage
Usage Stats - Displays usage statistics using dumpsys usagestats command

Backup

RxLogger Utility allows the user to generate a backup of the RxLogger folder on the device as a .zip file, which contains all the RxLogger logs stored on the device. From the main RxLoggerUtility tap on Backup. Backup screen
