LogViewPlus can do more than just read log files. This is similar to tail and grep, but completely redesigned for Windows. Filters can also be updated automatically while tailing the log file. For example, you can narrow your log file down to a particular thread and then search just within that thread.

Merging log files can give you greater insight into how multiple processes are interacting with each other.įiltering log files is better than searching because filters can be chained. Merged log file entries are automatically sorted by date so the information appears to be written by a single process. That's it for now.With LogViewPlus, you can open as many log files as you need and press a button to combine them. We think this is a great opportunity to show what LogViewPlus can do while extending our pre-built dashboard library. Java GC log files come in a wide variety of formats so parsing and analysis should be a lot of fun. What's Next? We are excited about this one - Java GC log file analysis. Custom functions are a great way to expand our SQL engine to help you get the most out of your log files. This was actually introduced in v3.0.16, but we have now updated the documentation and provide a sample implementation. The last thing I want to highlight is Custom SQL Functions. This is really helpful for quick server access if you notice an issue in your logs. This allows you to open a new SSH terminal session right from LogViewPlus. Another cool feature we have added in this release is SSH URL integration. Have an idea for a pre-built dashboard? If you know of a widely used log file format which is ripe for a detailed dashboard - let us know! Now that we have the right toolset, we are actively looking for new dashboard ideas. There has a been a big focus on the SQL engine, but going forward we expect the effort to shift toward per-built dashboards.

This vision explains a lot of the features we have added since our 3.0 release. We want to continue to invest in our reporting engine while also giving users effortless log analysis with a pre-built dashboard library. This new capability shows the future of LogViewPlus. This means that when you open a new W3C log file (such as an IIS log), you will be given the option to add a pre-built dashboard showing information like requests per minute, response times and active users. This release introduces the concept of a pre-built dashboard by embedding a new W3C dashboard.
