What is Trace Log?

Trace Log is a handy utility tool that enables you to perform real-time monitoring on any server logs simultaneously. The main goal is to group all related log files into one tool so that you don't have search and dig for them. This tool enables you to attach any log files, such as Tomcat logs, WAS logs, IIS logs, etc.

If this is the first time you are use Trace Log, you need to configure and attach any necessary log files. Once attached, a configuration file will be stored locally in your user profile of that computer. The next time you use this tool again, it will load the configuration automatically and you can begin monitoring the log contents immediately.

Trace Log Features

  1. The Main Log merges and displays all log contents into one viewer. The log contents from each file are color coded to distinguish them from other log contents of other log files.
  2. Each log file has its own dedicated viewer.
  3. Ability to create log groups to logically group log files together. For example, a log group may represent a server environment.
  4. Configurable purge strategy to truncate the log size in the viewers when it hits certain threshold.
  5. Quick application launch through system tray.
  6. Ability to start/stop log files, either one at the time, all files within a group or all files in all groups.
  7. Automatic software update check every time the application is launched.
  8. Adjust log font size.
  9. Lock/unlock scrolling viewer.
  10. Open log file in external text editor.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

I recently received a few reported "bugs" that this tool won't run properly (or automatically closes with error message). Please note that this tool requires at least JRE 6.x to run. Most computers comes with the built-in JRE 1.4, thus you are bound to get an error when running this tool.

SOLUTION: Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp. Then, download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Finally, restart your computer and try the tool again.
