WinLogTail description
Fast open and browse log files, regardless of file size
The WinLogTail application was designed to be a log viewer, monitor and analyzer.
Here are some key features of "WinLogTail":
· fast open and browse log files, regardless of file size
· monitor log file for changes live - as new log lines are appended, they are instantly visible in WinLogTail
· "rules" for highlighting, searching and alerting
· rules use either regular expressions or simplified order-insensitive logical patterns
·
highliting: specify font style, foreground and background color for any log line according to its content (for example, red color for lines with word "error")
· searching: output certain lines to "filtered view" (also updated live)
· alerting: you can send WinLogTail to background, and it will flash window or play sound as soon as specific line is appended to the log file
· context scrolling: click a line in filtered view, and the main view will scroll to the relevant position
· can define multiple rules at once, modify, delete, rearrange, deactivate etc
· import and export rules
· command-line options to quickly select file, rules and operation mode
· copy to clipboard or export to file - in plain text, RTF or HTML formats
· small executable file with no installation and external dependencies
