Store preferences in user home directory

I have a UNIX workstation and it would make it much easier to do upgrades if you store all preferences in the user's home directory. Typically, the software is installed as "root" without write privileges to the config/ directory. After installing LogMX, we have to remember to open up the write perm...

Re: Edit->Find Next finding multiple hits within a message

Thanks. I agree that the checkbox on the find option would be a good addition. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on because the "found" text in the message panel wasn't highlighted/selected. Many times it does highlight text if you are searching within the message field, but maybe the C...

Re: On a parsing error, add option to ignore line

Usually this occurs for me when one or two of the log messages has an extra newline in it that throws off the parser. (an empty line shows up in the message). Most log entries are OK, it is just a few that are malformed. If it would be possible to ignore data until you find a log entry that is parsa...

On a parsing error, add option to ignore line

I was trying to setup a Simple parser and everything looked OK at first. In loading a file, I got an error where it found a string that didn't look like a "level". The only options I have are: add this level... don't add this level and switch to the next parser abort file load I would like to ignore...

Re: Edit->Find Next finding multiple hits within a message

I don't understand what you are proposing. Can you describe it differently?

Edit->Find Next finding multiple hits within a message

It appears that the Edit->Find Next function is finding each hit within a message. I have some log entries where the message is very large, and there are many hits for the search string. I'm really trying to move between log entries in the table, not within a message with Ctrl-Page Down. There is a ...

Filter criteria and searching for marked entries

I think it would be useful if you could add a filter criteria to show only marked records. I might find interesting entries through a combination of searches and filters, mark them, then want to see them all together. I might not be able to construct a filter to do that. Also, the Edit->Find feature...

Hide and Show rows for context outside of a filter

I have been doing some heavy duty searching and filtering on a log file and I would like a couple of options to dynamically hide and show rows in the table outside of a filter. The first idea is to show more "context" for a row. For example, if I do a filter operation and see 3 log entries of ID=1, ...

Re: Save Emitter tree state between refreshes

It is hard for me to know what the most common use case is, but I see the value in auto-trimming the Emitter list as a default setting. Would you be willing to add a configuration option to not trim the Emitter list on reload? The default setting could retain the current behavior. You have room to p...

Re: Save Emitter tree state between refreshes

I obviously don't know the internals of your code, but it doesn't seem too difficult to treat the emitter tree as something that is "append only". load v1 of the file, build tree of emitters (E1 is present) turn off E1 load v2 of the file, E1 is not present -- however, don't delete and rebuild the t...

Re: Save Emitter tree state between refreshes

It would be possible to use filters, but I like to use the tree as my first level of filtering, then apply filters if needed. If you had a button to easily setup filters based on which nodes are turned off in the emitter tree, that would help. Two new buttons would be OK, or add the options to the r...

Save Emitter tree state between refreshes

This request is closely related to http://www.logmx.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=41 I would like the Emitter tree to remember it's state even if you do a "refresh" of the file. It needs to retain the contents, and what Emitters are turned off, etc. What I typically do is to run through a test case,...

Re: Auto refresh losing markers for error/severe message

Yes, I am talking about the small summary square.

I do have the "maximum number of entries" feature enabled.

Thanks for the explanation.

Auto refresh losing markers for error/severe message

I was watching a log file using the auto-refresh functionality. I saw an error message appear and scroll off the screen. I waited until my program was done and in the meantime, LogMX auto refreshed the log contents. I noticed that some emitters were still using a red font, but the small error marker...
