Developer Tools ADM/ADMX Templates

Reported by tweakste...@gmail.com, Aug 11 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.90 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Download new Template, still no Developer Tools.
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Ideally for the the environment I am in we would like to configure the Developer Tools Preferences via GPO and cannot do so right now. I did not find a quick automated way to do so either. We use these for troubleshooting.

What went wrong?
Nothing really went wrong involving this, it just did not exist and i found no solution to automating changing a few settings for approx 200 machines using Chrome browser as the primary browser.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 60.0.3112.90  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

If it is possible it would be greatly appreciated if the adm/admx templates are updated to include Developer Tools for settings that can be controlled via GPO. Thanks.

Over to Pavol, who took over generating policy templates recently. It is very strange that DeveloperToolsDisabled should be missing from ADM/ADMX. It has been around since Chrome 9 (i.e., since 2011).

Julian, do you know why this policy would be missing
I guess the request here goes beyond the scope of disabling the developer tools. We do have the policy DeveloperToolsDisabled (https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#DeveloperToolsDisabled) which controls the general availability of dev.tools and it is present in the ADM[X] templates. 

Can you please describe which settings for dev.tools you wish to control through GPO?
I am actually trying to enforce sub settings in Developer Tools. For the company I work for we are trying to establish Timestamps and Preserving logs. This is what I could not find. I know how to set it manually but 200+ computers to apply it to could be a tad bit tedious :).
For retrieving logs you may try : LogUploadEnabled

https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#LogUploadEnabled

Not seeing any policy specific to for timestamps.

Thanks for the response. I have tried that and it did not seem to have an impact in the way I was hoping which was simply checking the box for Preserving Logs. The only thing I can imagine is the tester is not seeing that behavior on their end after I have the setting set.

This seems to be a request to do the equivalent of the following manual steps:
(1) Open Developer Tools, go to Developer Tools Settings
(2) Check "Console"/"Show timestamps"
(3) Check "Console"/"Preserve log upon navigation"
through enterprise policy.
Currently, we have no policy control over developer tools sub-settings, and I doubt there were plans to introduce such policy control.

Would you mind explaining what your usecase is?
