Log Viewer

Working with application text logs is quite tedious, unless you have a specialized utility to help you out. Many types of messages are included in these logs, so it is important to be able to filter out the ones you are not interested in.

Log Viewer is a relatively simple app capable of parsing text logs and extracting text messages. It enables you to filter them based on their level, and it also colorizes the messages for easier reading.

Getting started with this application could hardly be easier. You can just drop the log files you wish to analyze onto the main window, and they will be parsed automatically. Recent documents are remembered, so you can open them again easily at any time.

The user interface is well structured, so even first-time users should have no problems getting accustomed to this program. All major functions are accessible from the toolbar, and details about the imported log files are displayed in the status bar.

You will notice that messages are displayed using various colors based on their level; this makes it easy to navigate through them and find the info you need, and the default colors are even customizable.

Of course, you can also include or exclude messages based on their level, and it is possible to use regular expressions in the log message text filter.

A number of parsing templates are included from the get-go, but you can edit these freely and add new ones for processing various types of log files.

Overall, Log Viewer is a suitable tool for both experts and less experienced users. It makes it a lot easier to find important messages within log files, and it features an intuitive, well-designed UI.
