Uploading

What logcat.ai accepts, what it refuses, and how to prepare each kind of log, capture, trace and dump before you upload it.

logcat.ai reads system logs, archives of them, and the binary captures listed below, decoded for you. Most uploads are direct: adb bugreport, dmesg, logcat output, a packet capture or a kernel crash dump. A few captures from proprietary diagnostic tools still need a one-step text export from the vendor tooling first; each guide below says which, and what to export. Supported file types is the full list of what’s accepted, what’s refused, and the size limits.
