Hi, I know this probably isn't what you're looking for, but you could use the JDBCAppender (I prefer Kevin Steppe's) to log to a database, and then use your existing database tools to filter and query - for instance MS Access or the equivalent for KDE/Linux.
But if this is an existing log4j log, maybe you could try importing your text log file into a spreadsheet - you can have it break up your text file into delimited columns based on spaces or tabs. I just tried this with my log4j log and Excel, and it worked out ok. I don't really know much about sorting and filtering with Excel, except for you can do it :) jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "yugen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 1:13 PM Subject: GUI tool for viewing log files? > Hi, I'm looking for a tool to view an existing log4j log > file (as opposed to displaying the log data in real-time). > Specifically, I'd like to review a security audit log and > be able to filter for specific kinds of log entries (failed > login, privilege changes, etc.). > > I guess I could write a small app to read in my log file > line-by-line, and then send each entry to a listening > socket appender where it could be displayed by a tool like > Lumbermill ( http://traxel.com/lumbermill ). > > I saw a similar post in the archives ( http://www.mail- > archive.com/log4j-user%40jakarta.apache.org/msg03427.html ) > but didn't see a response. > > Any help is appreciated. > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
