Note that netconsole is no longer on UDP. From For the 2020 season software documentation has been moved to https://docs.wpilib.org. Documentation for KOP items can still be found here. | FRC KOP Documentation

Implement TCP netconsole (riolog) and show it automatically after successful deploy. The TCP netconsole is colorized like the DS console and provides additional filtering features. Note: it only displays output when a DS is connected (from any computer, not necessarily the Eclipse computer).

You can see an implementation here: GitHub - wpilibsuite/riolog: Standalone version of Eclipse riolog

Thanks for the heads-up Joe. I had not seen that yet. I opened an issue to track the change. I’ll do my best to get it implemented in the next couple of days.
