EventLog

open class EventLog
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.util.EventLog

Access to the system diagnostic event record. System diagnostic events are used to record certain system-level events (such as garbage collection, activity manager state, system watchdogs, and other low level activity), which may be automatically collected and analyzed during system development.

This is not the main "logcat" debugging log (android.util.Log)! These diagnostic events are for system integrators, not application authors.

Events use integer tag codes corresponding to /system/etc/event-log-tags. They carry a payload of one or more int, long, or String values. The event-log-tags file defines the payload contents for each type code.
