Extension summary

WiFi issues are difficult to debug. ChromeOS captures state about the device and the environment, but this information is stored in text logs that can be difficult to interpret. The Shill Log Processor reduces this barrier by summarizing the log, provides a visual representation of the WiFi services and interface and allows the user to navigate by clicking along with searching. This is an early release tool focused on easing developer bug triage and debugging.

In this version (0.1): Supported files: ChromeOS net.log (found at /var/log/net.log) ChromeOS messages (found at /var/log/messages) ChromeOS feedback submissions (system_logs files)

Visualization Summary: Each manager has a graph if there are service state updates in that section of the log (this does not always occur). For each visualization we have three graphs. 1 - large service state graph over log time 2 - smaller service state graph for context (can select a subset to zoom) 3 - wpa_supplicant state

Thank you for cutting down the time required to process wifi feedback reports.

Nice tool! Would be great if it could process reports directly in the browser, like: Right-click on system_logs.zip (e.g., in feedback report) and choose a context menu item 'Process shill logs' See go/android-bug-tool for similar features.
