Log to Crashlytics with tag and priority without also sending to logcat

Question

There are two ways to log to Crashlytics according to the documentation.

1. Crashlytics.log(int priority, String tag, String msg);

   In addition to writing to the next crash report, it will also write to the LogCat using android.util.Log.println(priority, tag, msg).

2. Crashlytics.log(msg);

   which will only write to the Crashlytics crash report [not logcat].

However, this second method does not allow me to set a tag and priority. Instead it automatically sets the resulting tag as "CrashlyticsCore" and priority to debug:

From Fabric dashboard:

1   |   04:24:55:100 (UTC)  |   D/CrashlyticsCore ...
2   |   04:24:55:101 (UTC)  |   D/CrashlyticsCore ...
3   |   04:24:55:121 (UTC)  |   D/CrashlyticsCore ...

How can I keep my actual tag and debug value? I suppose I could create a custom message but this seems ugly and would just clutter up Fabric:

String output = String.format(Locale.US, 
    "Priority: %d; %s : %s", priority, tag, message);
Crashlytics.log(output);

If you need to log tags in Crashlytics but avoid them in LogCat using Crashlytics.log(int priority, String tag, String msg); I would recommend to enable SilentLogger for Fabric:

// Create Crashlytics Kit which doesn't trace crashes in debug mode
final Crashlytics crashlyticsKit = new Crashlytics.Builder().core(new CrashlyticsCore.Builder().disabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG).build()).build();

// Use SilentLogger instead of DefaultLogger to avoid writing into LogCat 
Fabric.with(new Fabric.Builder(this).kits(crashlyticsKit).logger(new SilentLogger()).build());
