The Console is a powerful and flexible tool for diagnosing your computer's issues. It offers a glimpse into the inner functions of your Mac and can be very enlightening. That being said, there is a lot of information that goes into the Console that may seem threatening or problematic, but. Mac OSX is a BSD derivative, and although an X11 server is being provided, I do not begin to understand the technical challenges behind getting our remote console application working with this OS.
Console is the application that collects log messages from your computer for user review. It collects errors, warnings and standard “here’s what I did” log messages from system and user applications. It’s a fantastic resource for troubleshooting. It should be your first stop after your computer experiences a random restart, kernel panic or application crash. You can find the Console application with “Applications -> Utilities -> Console.app,” or by typing “Console” into the Spotlight or Launchpad search bars. Getting Acquainted with Console When you first open Console, you’ll be confronted by a torrent of real-time log messages. Most of these are unimportant, mundane application reports describing what the application is doing at that moment.
It’s not material that’s typically important for the user to know, but if you want to find it, that’s where it lives. You can toggle off Console’s stream of consciousness by clicking the “Now” button in the upper-right or by scrolling up. This will “freeze” Console messages at the current moment, but new messages will continue to come in at the bottom of the queue.
