After updating from Android Studio 3.2 to 3.3 the LogCat filtering options are no longer present, and a quick search through the Android Studio settings doesn't reveal any option to bring them back.
How do you show/hide the logcat filter options in Android Studio 3.3?
To display the log messages for an app: Build and run your app on a device. Click View > Tool Windows > Logcat (or click Logcat in the tool window bar).
Go to the File option > click on “INVALIDATE CACHES/RESTART” then a dialog box will pop up, Select the “INVALIDATE CACHES/RESTART” button. This will automatically restart and build the index of android studio.
Logcat is a command-line tool that dumps a log of system messages, including stack traces when the device throws an error and messages that you have written from your app with the Log class. This page is about the command-line logcat tool, but you can also view log messages from the Logcat window in Android Studio.
In your preferences, either search for “logcat” or manually go to Editor > Color Scheme > Android Logcat.
It appears that this was just a weird UI state after the Android Studio Update. I changed it from "Docked Mode" to "Floating Mode" and the logcat filter bar returned and stayed even after returning to "Docked Mode".
