Azure Sphere logging

Question

For Sphere devices, we can vscode/cli to deploy, debug and see logs of the application [1]. But later (say I kept it running for 24 hours and comes back), if I wish to see application logs, it looks like, I don't have a way. Is there a way to see application logs on Sphere development boards without initiating the debugger?

To be clear, this is not about monitoring applications deployed in production [2]. This is only about development logs on Azure Sphere development boards. An example is logcat in Android [3]. The intention is to analyse long running application on Azure Sphere. We cannot keep the debugger attached forever.

This is a late response and you've probably figured it out by now but if your Azure Sphere device is connected to a network, you can send debug logs over a UDP socket without the need for the device to be attached to the Visual Studio debugger or even a PC.

Here's an example application that modifies the Log_Debug library to send the output over UDP to a receiver application that writes the output to a "deviceLog.txt" file.
