Is there any way to do logging of advertising packet in nrf connect app or any other method of doing this please tell me

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I would recommend that you use the nRF Sniffer tool to analyze on-air BLE traffic. The sniffer lets you see both advertising packets and their contents, as well as follow into connections that are established while the sniffer is listening. The sniffer is a powerful tool to wield when developing BLE applications, and I highly recommend it!

Best regards,
Karl

ok but there is also one app on playstore nrf logger can you tell me how i can use that app to take logs of my advertisement packet

[Karl Ylvisaker]

The nRF Logger application is an application for reading the logs created by other applications - for instance, if you used the nRF Connect application to generate logs of a connection you could view them all in the nRF Logger application.

Is your intention just to see the contents of a specific device's advertising packets?
Or do you intend to scan all on-air advertising packets?
In case of the former, you could use the nRF Connect application to do so by clicking the 'raw' option after selecting a specific advertising device in the scanning menu. This will show you the contents of the advertising packets in the raw format.
In case of the latter, you will have to use the nRF Sniffer to achieve this.

Best regards,

I want to see how many packets of advertising along with data reached to my nrf connect app during a specific time and store all this data in file for future use or testing purpose.

Thanks for replying

The nRF Connect application does not create logs / traces for the advertisings it has picked up, so I would recommend that you make use of the nRF Sniffer tool to do so.
This will give you the most complete information about the advertising packets and their contents.
