System/install log

Is there a logging feature where I can see what the device has done in the background, in particular when it comes to updates?

My workarounds have been to turn on the message history which unfortunately sometimes only shows that something was downloaded and to turn off automatic updates but i don’t think that will cover for example the before mentioned instance where no forthcoming information was available in the message log.

Hi @Jowomu welcome to the /e/ users forum.

From Support topics this is the page for collecting a log from the phone Capture a debug information from /e/OS .

One command specifically to collect information from the System Updater would be

adb logcat | grep org.lineageos.updater

Thanks! I missed that support topic and will look into that.
