swri_console

swri_console is an alternative to rqt_console for viewing the ROS console output. swri_console was written to scale well to large systems with heavy console output. It stays responsive under fire and allows users to quickly find information to track down problems.

Features

• High performance; swri_console handles receiving thousands of logs per second and storing millions in memory while staying responsive
• Ctrl or shift-click to quickly select which nodes you want to monitor
• Hide or show log messages based on substring matches, or, if you need more power, regular expressions
• Hide, show, and colorize log messages based on severity
• Save and load log messages to text files
• Save and load log messages directly from the /rosout topic in a bag file
• Right-click on nodes to dynamically set their logger levels
  • Not supported in ROS 2 yet
