Summary

API for WebRTC diagnostic logging. This API allows an application to opt in to diagnostic logging. These logs contain information about the WebRTC activity by the application and are useful for local debugging or to file bugs. Logs can be optionally uploaded out of band to the browser vendor and can be used for diagnosing bugs. The application gets an ID that can be attached to a bug report, similar to crashes. Diagnostic logs are enabled via an enterprise policy called WebRtcDiagnosticLogCollectionAllowedForOrigins.
