No "Logcat" On my Android Studio

I don't seem to have logcat option with my version of android studio (which is the most up to date version in 8/11/17 ~I think~) but I do have an "Android monitor" which seems to be the same thing. Will this be a big problem for me continuing the course?

In Android Studio 3.0: View -> Tool Windows -> Logical

Same issue. I think they renamed logcat to event log.

I can see that Ben is using Android Studio 3.0 Canary 3, but we been directed to download Android Studio v2.3.0. I guess that's why we don't have "Logcat".

Hi Brandon,

You might be accidentally hiding some of the messages. Have a quick look in the compiler to see which options are checked for hiding, for example "error" or "verbose" logs! :-)
