adb shell Logcat with Package Name

Question

Is it possible to also display the Log's Package Name in each line?
Using

logcat -v long

leaves exactly the package name field (after PID) empty.
I want to filter the Logs from a specific application with different Tags, just wondering if it is possible.

Answer 1

logcat record does not have a "package name field". Therefore there is no standard/built-in way to filter by it.

Although since Android 7.0 you can use logcat --pid option combined with pidof -s command to filter output by binary/package name:

adb shell "logcat --pid=$(pidof -s <package_name>)"

Replace " with ' for Linux/MacOS

Answer 2

This is my script. A little rusty but still working.

PID=`adb shell ps | grep -i <your package name> | cut -c10-15`;
adb logcat | grep $PID

Actually I have a python script to add more colours, and a while loop to keep monitoring for that process when it gets restarted, but I think you'll get the point.
