Logsift 1.2 reads your own log formats, explains what is going on in a log, and copes much better with big files on network shares.

What's new

  • Your own log formats: drop a log file and Logsift works out its layout and timestamps, or paste your logging config (log4j 1.x/2, logback, java.util.logging, Python logging). A config with several layouts makes a format for each, with a live preview of how lines split into columns.
  • Insights: a new tab showing error bursts, new errors and when they began, silences, restarts and noisy messages, with buttons to jump there, show or hide them.
  • Tree of loggers: loggers, threads or hosts as a package tree with line counts. Uncheck a branch to hide its lines.
  • Details shows the whole entry, stack trace included. Select text and Details shows just that, and a Text | JSON switch pretty-prints JSON, even JSON inside strings.
  • Columns view: select text in cells, hide columns you don't need (a chip shows what's hidden; Show All Columns brings them back).
  • Network shares: the window no longer freezes while a big file is read; lines still loading show as gray bars with a Reading from disk… badge.
  • Settings (Ctrl+, / ⌘,): font, tab width, encoding, refresh interval, reopening the last session and more.
  • Format in the status bar: see how the current log is read, and pick another format if needed.
  • Go menu, menu icons and new toolbar buttons; a splash screen at startup.
  • Windows: Open with Logsift on the right-click menu of files and folders (it no longer takes over .log files), Open from WSL, new builds install over the old one, and a running Logsift is closed before install or uninstall.
  • Logsift exits fully when its window is closed.
