New Post: Log2Console with Log4Net on Windows8

Liath — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 11:54:54 GMT

I'm having all sorts of problems getting Log2Console working on Windows 8 (everything worked until I upgraded).

Here's what I know:

Two separate windows 8 machines are having the same issue.

I'm using a UDP appender, I've tried using localhost, 127.0.0.1 and ::1

In Log2Console I've enabled IPV6

Log4Net's internal log shows a SocketException but I've not been able to extract any more information.

Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone resolved this issue?

New Post: Log4n formatted logs

wallymathieu — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 07:06:41 GMT

The tool looks really sweet. Do you plan on having support for log4n formatted logs?

The code from:

https://github.com/wallymathieu/log4net-logviewer/blob/master/Core/LogEntryParser.cs

Could perhaps be used as inspiration to suite your needs.

New Post: Configure Reciever on Install

randerson1001 — Tue, 08 May 2012 23:51:25 GMT

Is it possible to pre-configure a Receiver as an xml file so that when you open Log2Console for the first time, it already knows where to look for a specific log file?

New Post: Message Details Background Colour

benjoyce — Tue, 08 May 2012 08:59:28 GMT

Hi.

Is it possible to change the background colour of the Message Details panel?

For better readability I have my Debug and Log colours set to white and grey, against a black background, but if I select a line the white text does not appear against the white Message Detail panel background - and the grey is hard to read.

Any way to change it?

Cheers,

Ben

New Post: Filtering the results

Kaine — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:14:02 GMT

Hi,

Our logs contain a lot of noise, especially when set to Verbose. It would be great is there was a way of filtering these out from the main view, such as with a string pattern match or similar.

Is anyone aware of how this could be easily accomplished, or can I strongly suggest it as a feature for the next incarnation?

Cheers,

Kaine

New Post: Log2Console not working with .NET remoting

I see that there are 2 version of this new version, one with the old key and one with a new key... Have you tried the package with the old key?

New Post: Log2Console not working with .NET remoting

rajeshsv_5 — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 10:16:49 GMT

I have recently upgraded my log4net to the latest version released by Apache which is 1.2.11

Once i have started using the latest log4net my log2console doesnt work anymore. It never used to work with the UDP appender hence i was using .NET Remoting which was working when i was on log4net v 1.2.10. My system enviroment is Windows 7 64Bit Professional edition. Few of my collegues have the same enviroment but log2console seems to work for them.

Can someone help me in getting log2console working.

I have the below reciever in log2console.

</appender>

Have already cross checked the config in my application.

I also have a file appender which works fine after the upgrade, but not the .NET Remoting appender

New Post: Multiple UDP receivers

francis1 — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:51:20 GMT

I routinely have 6+ UDP receivers running using a different tool and I would like to switch or log2console. Is this supported? I can't seem to make it work.

New Post: Viewing log4net FINER,FINEST level statements?

wtheronjones — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:51:56 GMT

Using Log2Console, is there a way to view log4net statements which are written w/ log level FINER, or FINEST? It seems that it doesn't display these items...

New Post: Ability to add custom trace format/layout

lordofscripts — Fri, 13 May 2011 22:34:24 GMT

Me too! I found the default setting of XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j layout too limited, it doesn't show Method info for example. So i changed the layout to use the same spec I was using in the RollingFileAppender:

So that's how I set it in log4net but when I do that change the log2Console gets totally confused (I am using UDP Appender), it only gets the date right.

Instead of showing the actual level of the log message it shows INFO
Instead of showing the actual logger name it shows 127-0-0-1-UdpAppender
The thread shows NA
The message part shows "DEBUG 13-05-2011 17:25:03 rotectedItemCollection FromXml - FromXml checking elements"

I am really missing this feature.

New Post: Consuming Logs from Log4J

DinisCruz — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 04:19:40 GMT

I'm trying to use Log2Console to consume Log4J data, but can't seem to get it to work

Ideally I would only use the TCP connection, but I can't even get the file one to work.

here is my Log4J config settings:

log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.conversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-15.15t [%-5p] %-26.26c{1} - %m\n

log4j.appender.R.File=C:\\_Logs\\log_file.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=10KB

log4j.appender.socket=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.socket.port=4505
log4j.appender.socket.remoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.socket.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.socket.layout.conversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-15.15t [%-5p] %-26.26c{1} - %m\n

I've configured Log2Console to receive this data, but nothing seems to get there

New Post: Ability to add custom trace format/layout

jarana — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 16:44:07 GMT

Hi,

What I really miss is that you can specify for any receiver the

format/layout of the traces so they can be properly parsed in the app.

It could be something like Regular expressions with well-known named groups.

Thanks.

New Post: Any support for ETW?

Uric1977 — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:08:01 GMT

Does this tool support Event Tracing for Windows? I have a DLL I created which creates custom traces (so called Classic Providers). TraceView.exe from the Windows DDK knows to open the DLL's PDB and automatically consume the right traces!

Thanks!

New Post: Custom Layout on LogFileAppender

marcododaro — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 15:44:44 GMT

Hi,

many congratulation for this very useful tool!

Just a question: is it possible to set a personal Layout for the LogFileAppender?

I've tried to modify the Log2Console.exe.config file to setup mi personal layout, but it doesn't work.

Many Thanks

New Post: Precision specifier for Logger column

oldschool — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 16:01:49 GMT

Love the Log2Console application.

Here's one feature request. I tend to use the convention of naming logs by namespace. Each logger will be named either <fully-qualified class name> or <fully-qualified class name>.<instance name>. While this creates a nice hierarchy of loggers, the Logger column is not very useful any more as you can't determine the context based on the value in the Logger column. What I'd like to be able to do is specify a default precision for the Logger column (and ideally then be able to override it for any specific loggers). The precision specifier would act like it does in the PatternLayout class:

If a precision specifier is given, then only the corresponding number of right most components of the logger name will be printed. By default the logger name is printed in full.

For example, for the logger name "a.b.c" the pattern %logger{2} will output "b.c".

So if I specified a default precision of 2 for Log2Console, all the entries in the Logger column would show up as 'b.c', rather than just 'c'.

Does this sound useful/reasonable? Is there a better way to solve this problem?

New Post: Contextual Logging Support

ScottDc — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 08:52:14 GMT

Hi,

I'm interested in using Contextual logging - makes it much easier to follow the flow of code.

Is Contextual Logging Support in the latest build - can't see any options, and will it work with Log4Net?

Regards,

ScottDC

New Post: Extra mapping functionality

statyk7 — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 11:54:00 GMT

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the feedback and the great suggestion. I understand the need to add extra display columns, and having a receiver where one can specify a field separator to map the fields into the columns should not be too complicated.

I'll see what I can do for the next releases.
