Android (im_android)

This is a special module which can pull events from the Android logging system. Unlike other log forwarder tools, this module reads the log device files directly instead of parsing the output of the logcat binary. The module reads all log devices: main, events, radio, and system.

Configuration

The im_android module accepts only the common module directives.
