Chainsaw 2 filtering problems...
Hi!
First: I like the new Chainsaw 2 ;)
Second: The filtering mechanism should work with regular expression if
ORO is installed and if not fallback to case-insensitive indexof
filtering, right ?
Why is it then that enterin '.' (a dot - whichi should match everything)
filters out ALL lines ?
And entering 'e' (the letter e, which is part of 99,9% of my messages)
instead also filters out ALL lines ?
I simply can't make the filtering mechanism work :(
Any ideas ?

Customising Chainsaw
Posted by Milind Rao <mi...@bellsouth.net>.
My log message is a complex XML element since there was other information, such as hardware, message ID,
replacement parameters etc. that I needed in the message.
A log file consists of multiple Log message elements. A Log message would be something like
<Log>
<Level>Info</Level>
<Date>07-07-2003T12:43</Date>
<Hardware>Camera1</Hardware>
<Source>Tracking</Source>
<MessageID>MSG1023</MessageID>
...
</Log>
To view the logs, I need to have columns for the elements in the log XML (Hardware, source etc.) instead of one single
column for the message. Also, level & date would have to be extracted from the Log XML element. The message text has
to be looked up, based on the message ID, from a resource file for a locale.
I couldn't make out from the Chainsaw home page whether this would be easy to support/add on to Chainsaw or whether I
should just roll my own.
Regards
Milind

I did mean it for every row - but I meant it for the visible view, I
want the difference in times between the visual rows dependent on
the filtered rows.

Doing this for every single row would be... Perhaps you didn't mean
that, I was under the impression you wanted each row to display a time
value which is the elapsed time since the previous row.
Or maybe you did mean this. Also from a purest point of view, each row
would have to know what row number it was, and be able to find out the
previous row which is a bit 'coupley'. It certainly might be possible,
but me personally I would just highlight two rows and click an action to
tell me the difference.

This should not be a performance killer ....
tabModel.getValueAt(timestampcol, row) -
tabModel.getValueAt(timestampcol, row-1) isn't
that much of a killer is it (it is constant) ? (it should ofcourse be an
option - not something always done)

A good idea.

That's probably a performance killer at this stage. We could probably
easily allow you to Select two rows, and provide either a status bar
and/or popup option to display the time difference, but doing it for
every single row is probably something I would prefer not to do at this
stage.

Another good idea, we've thought of that one too, we're working towards
some ideas for the preferences side of things, so this one will
definitely go in.

Another good one (this also drives me a little crazy).

Know it works I got some wishes/ideas ;)
1. Let me select wether I want to use regular expression or case
insensitive matching
(actually, enabling caseinsensitve regular expression would be a nice
option)
2. Any way to show elapsed time between visible rows - instead of just
the event time ?
3. Let me define a SimpleDateFormat expression for the timestamp rows.
4. Let me define which part of the Logger name I want to see.
e.g. in x.y.z.some.package.LoggerTableView I would like to see
LoggerTableView more than I like to see x.y.z..some... (maybe get
inspired of
eclipse's package name "compression" scheme
5. Let me view the logger hiearchy and enable/disable/filter on that
(Look at Lumbermill for inspiration - its
gui is actually quite good regarding enabling/disabling parents/children
levels)
yup - that's about it ;)
Good work guys!

Just checking all angles, the mistake I always make is making sure the
correct filter drop down is selected (ie. I am wanting to filter the
message column, but the drop has timestamp selected, which of course
finds nothing).
Also check what the tooltip is when you mouse over the search string
text box, let us know what it says.

I actually also meant '.*' .- and it ain't make any difference -
everything is still just filtered away.
.*e.* does the same thing....

I think you want .* don't you?
. just means a single character, which is unlikely to be a very useful
Logging statement and so probably won't match anything. :)
So if you want anything that has an "blah" in it, I would try (off the
top of my head, and 2-1 odds this ends up being wrong) try ".*blah.*".
Any other Chainsaw 2 feedback very welcome.
