Logcat filtering?

Question

I'd like to filter out everything from the log, except for my app's processes. I know that I can specify priority levels, but I want to be able to do more than that. I wanna get rid of all the other stuff that's going on in the phone that's being logged. How can I do this?

If you're viewing the logs in the Eclipse debug view, you can do this very easily by just clicking the Create Filter button (green + sign).

If not using Eclipse, specify the filter on the command line as follows (example from the Android docs):

Here's an example of a filter expression that suppresses all log messages except those with the tag "ActivityManager", at priority "Info" or above, and all log messages with tag "MyApp", with priority "Debug" or above:

adb logcat ActivityManager:I MyApp:D *:S
