An aside you your request


Rooting around in Console logs used to be mode to Trouble Shot computer issues back in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard


Ever since that time, looking in the Console Logs is a waste of time


Most of what would appear in the log files, are basically Software Engineers taking to each other in language only they may understand


If there is a specific computer issue happening with the computer


Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question


Reliable , accurate, details / context will really help


There is very little actionable information to work with.
