Otros Log Viewer

Otros Log Viewer is a Java-based tool that enables you to open XML log files to study the activity and traces recorded by applications. It's capable of opening JUL SimpleFormatter logs, as well as of creating UML diagrams. The program contains advanced options reserved for experienced PC users.

As long as you have Java installed, you don't need to set up anything else. It's possible to copy the downloaded files to custom location on the disk or to a USB flash drive to run the utility on any PC with Java. No modifications are made to the Windows registry in this regard.

When it comes to the interface, Otros Log Viewer adopts a large window with a minimalistic appearance and clear-cut options. After opening an XML or JUL SimpleFormatter log, you can analyze details and apply a wide range of filters.

For instance, it can show only items within a specific level or time range. Other filters focus on marked, thread and class. Plus, you can resort to a basic search function to locate strings, start the socket listener on port 50505, as well as configure settings for a string and regex marker editor, such as type (string or regex matcher), name, description, groups, condition, and pre-condition.

We haven't experienced any stability issues in our tests, since the software application didn't freeze, crash or prompt error messages. It left a small footprint on system resources consumption, as it required a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.

On the other hand, Otros Log Viewer doesn't have intuitive options for less skilled users. We must also take into account that it hasn't been updated for a long time.
