Hi John,
Dear boosters,
Since most of us use some sort of logging, I've developed a free program that allows simple viewing/filtering of log files (for Windows).
I wonder if you've seen Chainsaw
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/chainsaw.html
and plan to compete with it or fix some weaknesses of it, or something else?
I wasn't aware of it. Anyway, I've downloaded and tested it. (installing was quite hard, it took me a while) Anyway, this is very log4j specific. I see that it has some receivers, but I'm not sure how they work. The only one I tested was LogFilePatternReceiver but it seems static. If I append to a certain file, I need to do a manual refresh of all receivers, which is pretty annoying. Also, noticed a lot of bugs and expressions did not work. As far as I saw, it can only show up to 7000-8000 messages at a time, which is pretty small for me. The program I developed IMO is - very user-friendly, easy to use - handles files any size (in the future I'll work on adding aggressive caching to support ~1Gb logs) - very fast - expressions work ;) - works with any log files. Just drag-and-drop them into the program Best, John
