LogExpert, a tail tool for Windows

Logfile viewing for the pros

Showcard Girl

LogExpert is a Windows tail program (a GUI replacement for the Unix tail command). LogExpert is free for non-commercial or commercial use.

Summary of features:

  • Tail program
  • MDI-Interface with Tabs
  • Search function (including RegEx)
  • Bookmarks
  • A very flexible filter view
  • Highlighting lines via search criteria
  • Columnizers: This means splitting log lines into columns for some well defined logfile formats
  • Unicode support
  • log4j XML file support
  • 3rd party plugin support

Random Feature Hint

Columnizers
LogExpert can split a log file into well defined columns. There's already an included ready-to-use Columnizer for parsing various timestamp formats out of the log lines. But you can develop own Columnizers by providing a plugin DLL.

About tail programs

What is a tail program good for? The original tail UNIX command is a program to display a text file and monitor the file for changes. All changes are displayed in realtime. So tail is perfect for watching log files.

For Windows there's no tail command. But there are many good replacements for tail (e.g. BareTail or Tail for Win32) out there. LogExpert is one of these tail programs. It adds some nice features which are very useful if you have to work with log files.

The first public version of LogExpert is now available for download. Me and some of my fellows have been using LogExpert since several months. They gave me a lot of feedback, test reports and feature requests. The heavy usage of LogExpert at work and almost daily updates in the early development phase made shure that LogExpert fits most of our needs for a log file viewer and tail program. I hope you find it useful too.
