#4 Log merge by timestamp

[Carlos Enrique Liendo Grillo]

Hi All,

Is it possible to adds up a log merger based on timestamp ordering of events?

Hi Carlos, I do not fully understand your request. If you define a column as a datetime column a delta column is created for you.The delta will show the time delta from row to row. Additionally if you define process id and or thread id columns the delta values will be on a per process/thread basis. When you say you want to add up a log based on timestamp what are you looking for?

Hi Steve,

The situation is the following:
I have two logfiles gathered from two different sources which are redundant between them and I want to merge them in an unique logfile but therefore I will need to reorder the file by using their timestamp so that the merged logfile has all events from both logs ordered by their timestamps.

Now I understand. That feature does not exist today (I will look into adding it). However, there is a feature that might help. If you have more than one log file open you can synchronize the two views.
1) Start by selecting a row in one of the log files. 2) From the View menu select 'Sync Views'. 3) Now the other views will be positioned on the line with the closest timestamp to the line in the active view. NOTE: this only works if you have created a configuration that has a date/time column defined.

Hi Steve! Any progress on this one? I find that this is one of the things I have to process manually to get proper viewing in my environment....merge and combine log files from 5 different web servers (each with 1-3 pertinent daily logs) that all point to the same DB. The other...I'll put in a request for. :) Would be REALLY nice to just point Gamut at a directory, and have it open up all the files it finds as one big log. :)
