Programmatically get vision client logs

Ignition
1

I would like to get the logs (diagnostic window > console tab) from my vision client in a script. I have played around with the VisionClientContext and its getLoggingManager method, but haven't found anything useful yet. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I've done this sort of thing before here:
Output Console Buffer Problems

For your use case, the code boils down to this:

from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.util.gui import OutputConsole

# Get an instance of the console
# Find the scroll pane,
# ...and return the text property from the internal JTextField
def getConsoleText():
	console = OutputConsole.getInstance()
	for component in console.components:
		if hasattr(component, 'viewport'):
			return component.viewport.view.text

# Get the console text, and do something with it
consoleText = getConsoleText()
