Java Log Viewer [closed]

Answer 1

LogSaw based on Eclipse and free. Log4j log file analyzer, simple to use with easy filtering. Supports several flavors of log4j log files: JBoss, Log4j pattern layout, Log4j XML layout, WebSphere.

Works like a charm. After couple of hours googling and trying several recommended free log4j viewers, this one was pleasant surprise. Have tried Chainsaw, BareTail, Insight, LogExpert, logview4j.

It is released weeks ago, and I guess still builds its way up on google.

Answer 2

I've rolled out Splunk (http://www.splunk.com/) for log viewing and searching with great success. The free version can be used locally and the paid version can collect all your logs into one location. We use it mostly for Log4J logs but with lots of other formats as well.

Beyond tail and grep support (without needing to know grep...) it automatically indexes logs and allows easy analysis (e.g. # of events in last xx timeframe) as well as basic charting, alerting, and event aggregation.

I won't say that the app is perfect or that the company has matured yet. But I don't hesitate at all to recommend that you try it.

Answer 3

Take a look to http://jlogviewer.sourceforge.net/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/jlogviewer/ Java log viewer is lightweight GUI to easily view the java application logs generated by the "java.util.logging" package. It's open source!!

Answer 4

Just published a node module for color highlighting log output log-color-highlight.

echo "this string" | lch -red.bold this -blue string

Works well on unix/linux/windows and supports config file for complex logging scenarios.

For windows I use it in combination with file-tail

I'm using OtrosLogViewer. You can mark log events manually or using string/regular expression. You can filter events based on level, time thread, string or regular expression. Logs can be imported by listening on socket or connecting to Log4j SocketHubAppender

You can take a look at Youtube video or screenshots:
