how do you read ksp.log files?

[moguy16]

i have so many mods installed that they are crashing daily, for example in my latest failure AVP stopped working entirely and i would like to know what is wrong with it, do in that case what are you looking for? if a random crash were to occur what would you look for?

You literally are just scanning the log for entries regarding errors.

Any given heavily modded instally is probably riddled with minor errors, the trick is in trying to distinguish between game crashing errors and the minor ones.

In most cases,

$ grep -v \\\[LOG\  KSP/KSP.log | less

to filter out the worst of the noise.

This leaves mostly [WRN warnings, [ERR errors, and [EXC exceptions and helps quickly find the most serious issues. Only if that doesn't yield any results do I read the [LOG messages. Or out of pure curiosity.
