LogViewPlus loves large log files and can open a 500 MB log file in about 30 seconds (depending on your hardware). Struggling with 4GB log files in notepad? Now you can read and tail all of your log files in Windows without starting a telnet session. Because the world is full of networks and often the log files you need do not exist on your local machine. LogViewPlus includes built in support for technologies like SFTP, FTP, SCP, and SSL as well as mapped drives and Samba shares. No need to mess around with a refresh button. This means you immediately see the new log entries in your log viewer. LogViewPlus processes real-time log file updates through functionality similar to the Unix 'tail' command which tracks log entries as they are written to the log file. We are committed to helping you view and analyze your logs regardless of the underlying format, protocol or storage method. Whether you store log data as JSON or a database blob, LogViewPlus can help you access, consolidate, and understand your log data. LogViewPlus is highly extensible and we are adding more data sources all the time. We support other data sources like UDP, Syslog, Databases and the Windows Event Log. LogViewPlus can do more than just read log files. This is similar to tail and grep, but completely redesigned for Windows. Filters can also be updated automatically while tailing the log file. For example, you can narrow your log file down to a particular thread and then search just within that thread. Merging log files can give you greater insight into how multiple processes are interacting with each other.įiltering log files is better than searching because filters can be chained. Merged log file entries are automatically sorted by date so the information appears to be written by a single process. With LogViewPlus, you can open as many log files as you need and press a button to combine them. This helps you find, analyze, and fix issues faster. A log viewer will parse your log file and read the information.

Log files are often viewed as plain text.
