adb bugreport: Is there a way to reset the log?

Question

Hey, I'm new to Android/ADB

I've been asked to dump an adb bugreport log by someone. I managed to do this, but the report was 640k and had a ton of crash dumps for various apps that I was playing with. I'm trying to present just the information for the app we're interested in.

Is there a way to reset the log so that I don't have all this other cruft?

thanks!

You can clear old logs that are available while starting your application by calling adb logcat -c from shell prompt. It should clear any old logs on the buffer and the logs getting printed thereafter should be from your application(at least a majority of them).
