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

  • 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

    • Not supported in ROS 2 yet
