:::note
The logging view works with all Flutter and Dart applications.
:::

## What is it?

The logging view displays events from the Dart runtime,
application frameworks (like Flutter), and application-level
logging events.

## Standard logging events

By default, the logging view shows:

* Garbage collection events from the Dart runtime
* Flutter framework events, like frame creation events
* `stdout` and `stderr` from applications
* Custom logging events from applications

see the [Logging][] section in the
[Debugging Flutter apps programmatically][]
page.

## Clearing logs

To clear the log entries in the logging view,
