OtrosLogViewer Reviews

Feature-rich way to dig through log files. Can be applied to any type of log. A little slow to load gigabyte-sized log files. I've been using this log viewer for 2 years. The "delta" time column feature is off by default but it's a really neat showing you the distance in time between log file entries. A real step up from just tailing or loading in a plain text editor like UltraEdit, Sublime, etc. At the time of this review, I'm using version 1.4.5 with Java 8 on Windows 10. Most likely you will experience some initial pain authoring a "pattern" file to get OtrosLogViwer to "recognize" your log file; my advice is to get through this initial pain because the benefits are worth it.

A lot of great features like XML/JSON formatting and opening logs using SSH/SFTP.

I'm using it for more than 3 year. Now I can't resolve production issue without it!

Perfect, two thinks missing and it's prime log analyzer. - One thing is right bar with colorized clickable "shortcuts" to marked lines (Because if I select some row and scroll away, it's hard to find it when large files used). - Second is adding icon to get time difference between start and end of selected block of rows (Shows time which log spent in this block of log)

Almost perfect!

Excellent tool for analyzing almost any logs in realtime. Supports even rotating logs on a remote system. The only things which could be improved is purging of old log data (leaving this app unattended may lead to out of memory errors) and UI improvements (although the current UI does the job well).
