Overview

rqt_console is a viewer in the rqt package that displays messages being published to rosout. It collects messages over time, and lets you view them in more detail, as well as allowing you to filter messages by various means.

Sending messages to rqt_console is done differently in each client library: C++, Python

Usage

Assuming you have ROS installed, you can invoke rqt_console by just typing:

rqt_console

Message List

The list view shows all of the messages, updating in real time as they arrive. The list displays all the information in the roslib/Log message broadcast on rosout:

  • Message

    • The message specified by the user, e.g. in the screenshot above "hello world..."

    Severity

    • The severity level of the message, e.g. Debug, Info, etc.

    Node

    • The name of the node which broadcast the message

    Time

    • The time at which the message was broadcast

    Topics

    • The topics advertised by the node broadcasting the message

    Location

    • Combines the file, function and line using colons, e.g. /u/jfaust/ros/base/pkgs/ros_tutorials/roscpp_tutorials/talker/talker.cpp:main:92

There are two operations you can use on the items in the list. A double click will bring up all the information about that message in a separate box.

A right click will pop up a menu allowing you to filter the list based on some aspect of the selected message

Filtering methods

You can filter the message list in two ways, by exclude filter and highlight filter.

Tutorials

See the rospy_tutorials/Tutorials/Logging page. It will help you use rosout to publish error, info and debug messages and view them in rqt_console.
