Is there a way to change logging preference for a group of devices?

I'm wondering if I can turn logging on or off over a group of devices.

Thanks.

Yes! Have you played with the built-in Preferences Manager app?

That doesn't do logging.
Logging is a hub thing.
Preference Manager is about changing device parameters.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question.

Logging is literally a preference set by the device. It can be changed by the preferences manager app. For example, if I wanted to enable description text logging for a bunch of devices, I'd do it here.

Holy cow. How did I miss that? I actually poked around in there looking for it. I was looking right at it.
Thanks much.

lol... no problem. In my opinion, the preference manager app can sometimes be really confusing because if you have a lot of device types or custom drivers, every single preference shows up. If a community developer calls their logging preference by another name it'll actually have a separate entry in the preference manager app. Thankfully, I think description text logging is standard though.

They do look different.

Plus, you have to refresh the device window to see if it has taken effect.
And it did!
I only did it for one device so far.

Thanks again @brad5
