Log4J Log Viewer GUI (a la LogFactor5)

["Klein, Scott @ TW" <sc...@L-3com.com>]

The last time I looked at GUIs for viewing log files they were pretty
inadequate, so I needed to write my own.

Is there a need/want for a log file viewer gui in the log4j project? My
request to allow release to public domain will probably be declined unless
it will go into the log4j distribution.

Just a quick overview:

	+ Filters based on time/# events/message/thread/NDC/logger/level
	+ Supports XML log files
	+ Ability to define 'systems' which filter based on logger name
	+ Tree browsing of systems and log events in each system
	+ Detail Panel displaying full log event data in HTML format
(configurable)
	+ Add/Remove log files and directories

On a related note, I also have a Log4J configuration GUI which allows tree
browsing of loggers and display of logger configurations - with some limited
configuration. It doesn't support saving the modified configuration though
(kind of a big task).


Anyway, just curious if there is an interest....

Scott,

I'm just some random developer out there in the world...but I for one 
would be interested in seeing this product in action.  Any screen shots, 
etc?
