Pega-LogViewer is a Java Swing based tool to view Pega RULES and Pega ALERT log files.

Needs Java 8 to run this tool.

Extract 'pega-logviewer-3.0-bin.zip' to a folder.

Run 'pega-logviewer-3.0.cmd' to launch the tool.

Features

This tool show the log file line/entries in a table format. The columns are marked based on the log pattern.
The log pattern used are the ootb ones from prlogging.xml -> PEGA appender.
Some customers updates PEGA appender pattern.
In case the tool can't recognize the pattern automatically, it will present a dialog to enter the pattern,
so you might be required to get customised pattern from prlogging.xml.

For PegaRULES log the row entries are color coded based on log level, Red for Error, Green for Info, Light Blue for Debug etc.
For ALERT log, only Critical Alerts entries are coded Red.

The timeline graph is governed by the data in the table. in case you filter the data in the table using any of the column filter, the chart will change.
