Disable logging

[Adam Stepinski]

How can you disable logging from ViveSDK in Unity?

Hi @Adam Stepinski,

What type of logging are you referring to?

[Adam Stepinski]

When running the app (in both Editor and Focus 3), console is quickly filled with logs
I tried disabling them using Override LogFlag (cleared all matrix squares), but it didn't work

Hi @Adam Stepinski,

Which Unity Editor version are you using?

I think you can try using keyword to filter the console log.

[Adam Stepinski]

it's 2021.3.5f1

I'm also interested in a solution to disable these logs.

And please no, filtering the logs is not a solution 🙂

FYI: In my case, the logs are only shown in the editor. I built an "in scene" log console in my app and the wave related logs are not showing up, when running on the Focus 3.

Some news about this topic? If the disabling of the logs is not possible today, could you inform us, if this option is planned in the next wave SDK release?

same here. I am currently developing with cross-device
I'm getting tired of the many logs being printed when i not using Vive...

Is it possible to have an option to turn off the logs?

Good News!

A simple but effective solution is to override the default Unity's Debug.Log ILogHandler with your own.

Attach this script to a game object in the scene and adjust the keywords according to your needs 🙂

 

using System;
using UnityEngine;
#if UNITY_EDITOR
using UnityEditor;
#endif

#if UNITY_EDITOR
    [InitializeOnLoad]
#endif
    public class LogHandlerManager : MonoBehaviour
    {
        private static string[] keywords ={
            "Wave",
            "Essense",
            "PackageInfo()", 
            "InteractionModeManagerSettings"
        };

        private static LogHandler logHandler; 

        static LogHandlerManager()
        {
            logHandler = new LogHandler();
            logHandler.keywords = keywords;
            
            Debug.unityLogger.logHandler = logHandler;
        }
    }

public class LogHandler : ILogHandler
{
    public string[] keywords;

    private static ILogHandler unityLogHandler = Debug.unityLogger.logHandler;

    public void LogException(Exception exception, UnityEngine.Object context)
    {
        unityLogHandler.LogException(exception, context);
    }

    public void LogFormat(LogType logType, UnityEngine.Object context, string format, params object[] args)
    {
        if (Application.isEditor)
        {
            foreach (string formatString in args)
            foreach (var keyword in keywords)
                if (formatString.Contains(keyword, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
                    return;
        }

        unityLogHandler.LogFormat(logType, context, format, args);
    }
}
