Very often I am sent a log file from a particular application because of a new defect which was found. Most of the time, my first steps involve filtering the log file for the most recent issues I am aware of in order to be able to exclude known issues with the application.

This step can become tedious really fast, especially when there are lot of issues one has to look for. On top of that it's really easy to forget a particular issue over time so I tend to figure out the same issue multiple times, each time costing me a lot of time.

Most of the time finding a particular issue is incredibly easy because it only involves looking for a particular phrase in a log entry and thus it should be incredibly easy to write a simple program which extracts a list of well known issues (for a given log file format).

This feature shall involve an additional side panel on the right-hand-side (Issues) which, when opened, displays a list of identified issues.

Tailviewer won't display any issues on its own, however if a suitable plugin is available, tailviewer will display the issues a plugin has found.
