Log4View Community Edition Description

Log4View application is a convenient viewer for XML formatted Log4Net logging output. It can visualize and filter logging output from various log appenders such as UDP appenders, file appenders or even from a newly written TCP appender. Software developers often use Log4Net as a powerful und flexible logging framework. It enables developers to use various hierarchical loggers to organize and filter the log output efficently. However, visualizing the log files with a plain text editor is tedious and exhausting. Developers are often flooded with tons of log messages, which they are not interested in currently. Configuring the log4net output to filter the unwanted log messages can only be done by editing the XML config file, which is feasible but far from being convenient. When the application is finally running with the desired filter settings, developers often notice after a certain event, that they should have added additional loggers to have more logging information around that event. This is not possible. All they can do, is to adjust their log4net settings and wait for the next occurence of the relevant event. This can be very time consuming and is often quite frustrative. Main features: Simultaneous logging of up to 255 applications. Messages of different receivers can be consolidated in a common window or displayed in separate message windows The dynamically growing logger tree shows all known loggers Customizable layout of the visualized log messages. Font and color of log messages can be individually selected, depending on logger name, log level, message text and other criteria A chart window allows easy visualization of different loggers. Individual log levels and additional content fields possible Use of a message buffer for each receiver enables visualization of previously filtered messages UDP receiver enables visualization of messages with the original log4net UDP appender TCP receiver can be used with the unique log4net TCP appender, which was developed for Log4View to ensure reliable message transmission File receiver enables visualization of messages with the log4net and log4j FileAppender and RollingFileAppender. The file receiver can read consecutive rolled files at once. Extended File Read Filter allows selective reading of huge log files. XML parser as default parser to read all log4net and log4j properties of the log messages Additional pattern parser enables LOG4VIEW to read pattern formatted log files. Linked receivers allow direct editing of log4net config settings LOG4VIEW can read and process huge log files (>1000000 lines) quickly Freely configurable filters allow filtering of messages at reception or display level Filter and search messages using wildcards and regular expressions Edit your log messages with comments and bookmarks and save them to file. Export log messages to Excel, XML, Text or PDF files or to the clipboard. Print log messages in configurable formats. Minimize Log4View to the system tray and get visual and audible hints at incoming messages. All LOG4VIEW settings can be saved to a configuration file and easily be restored LOG4VIEW comes with localization for English and German Context sensitive help in English and German
