Hi all,
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).
You can monitor logs while applications are writing to them.
Therefore, as your application is writing to the log, you can monitor
it real-time.
But the really cool thing is that you can have real-time filters:
while monitoring a log, at a given time you're interested in only a
part of the information that is written to it. Therefore, you can
easily set up a filter to accomodate that. You can have multiple
filters (views) for a log file, as you need them. For instance, for a
log file, you might have these views: All (all information), activity
(activity related messages), errors, activity & errors, activity +
last 15 messages (this would be all activity, and at all times, show
the last 15 messages that were written to the log).
Dealing with filters (views) is extremely easy, as you'll see by using
the program.
It's been designed to be very user-friendly (allows drag-and-drop,
remembers last settings, etc.).
It can handle files of any size - up to now I've tested with
up-to-80Mb files, but it works with more. In the near future I plan to
do aggresive caching, to allow log files of 1-2Gb.
Anyawy, here's the link: http://www.torjo.com/logview/
It's at a very early stage, so I look forward to your feedback (menu:

Best,
John
