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

Question

There are two ways to log to Crashlytics according to the documentation.
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).
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());
