Help idea.log ... does it get monitored?

[jon80]

I am kindly worried whether the log files can be monitored as it is quite difficult for me to monitor them all the time.

This is from Android Studio, yes?

I don't think the log file is intended to be monitored itself; the various error-checking and debugging tools in the IDE will use the log to do their jobs.

Well, tools won't detect bugs automatically, I think there has to be a synchronization service, which connects to their maintenance team, because if there are 1000 users running Android Studio, then there will be so much duplication of questions.

Does this make sense in in the context of support management?

The tools within AS do... that's why they're there, to detect bugs in your code.

I think there has to be a synchronization service, which connects to their maintenance team, because if there are 1000 users running Android Studio, then there will be so much duplication of questions.

It's much more likely that, if a problem occurs, a reporting dialogue will open with the option to send the log to the AS development team.

True, but that does not happen consistently, I think there should be a service which automatically synchronizes with a central repository and automatically logs "known duplicates of the same error as they are propagated by the same version and typical characteristics of the software.

Just a suggestion, I don't know where else to post it, perhaps someone should write to Google Inc.
