Log4View

LOG4VIEW is a convenient viewer for XML formated log4net and logging output. It can visualize and filter logging output from various log appenders such as UDP appenders, file appenders or even from a special TCP appender.

LOG4VIEW reads all log messages from the configured log appenders and stores them in an internal buffer. The user decides, which loggers should be displayed at which level. When the user decides to change the filter settings, previously hidden log messages are now displayed and vice versa.

LOG4VIEW is designed to present the logging information to the developer as efficiently and comfortably as possible. Log4View is a pure .NET application, written in C#.

LOG4VIEW allows merging of different log sources in a single view. This can make debugging of distributed applications much easier.
