Capturing browser logs with Selenium WebDriver using Java

Question

Is there a way to capture browser logs while running automated test cases with Selenium? I found an article on how to capture JavaScript errors in Selenium. But that is just for Firefox and only for errors. I would like to get all the console logs.

I assume it is something in the lines of:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LogEntries;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LogEntry;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LogType;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LoggingPreferences;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class ChromeConsoleLogging {
    private WebDriver driver;


    @BeforeMethod
    public void setUp() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "c:\path\to\chromedriver.exe");        
        DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
        LoggingPreferences logPrefs = new LoggingPreferences();
        logPrefs.enable(LogType.BROWSER, Level.ALL);
        caps.setCapability(CapabilityType.LOGGING_PREFS, logPrefs);
        driver = new ChromeDriver(caps);
    }

    @AfterMethod
    public void tearDown() {
        driver.quit();
    }

    public void analyzeLog() {
        LogEntries logEntries = driver.manage().logs().get(LogType.BROWSER);
        for (LogEntry entry : logEntries) {
            System.out.println(new Date(entry.getTimestamp()) + " " + entry.getLevel() + " " + entry.getMessage());
            //do something useful with the data
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void testMethod() {
        driver.get("http://mypage.com");
        //do something on page
        analyzeLog();
    }
}
