Hello Maximiliano,

Yes, LogMX can run in console mode.
You shall first configure it using its graphical interface if you need (tune parsers, managers, settings, alerts, ...), then run it in console mode (i.e. without any graphical interface).
To start it in console mode, use the option "--console" in command line (Windows, Linux, or Mac). Simply go to into LogMX directory and type "logmx.sh --console" (Linux/Mac) or "LogMX --console" (Windows) to see the list of available parameters:

Code: Select all

 logmx --console <options> <file 1> [... [<file N>]]

Where <options> is one of:
  --export <csv|xml|html> [--allentries] [--allfields] --output <output_file>
    * Export log file(s) to <output_file> using the specified output format.
    * If [--allentries] is specified, all file(s) entries will be exported
      (current export/display preferences ignored).
    * If [--allfields] is specified, all entry fields will be exported
      (current export/display preferences ignored).

  --monitor "<alert_name 1> [, ... [, <alert_name N>]]" [--verbose]
    * Monitor log file(s) with specified alert(s).
    * Do not forget quotes ("") around alerts list.
    * If [--verbose] is specified, processed alerts will be displayed
      in console.
