Eco Clef Viewer

A simple logviewer to view, search and filter logfiles in the CLEF Format.

Features

Demo logmessage: {"@t":"2022-03-02T02:08:13.0327296Z","@mt":"Demo logmessage WITH template '{Template}'", "Template":"This is a Template", "SourceContext":"Demo.Context.WithTemplate","ProcessId":12345,"ThreadId":1}

• Using the "@l" property to highlight "Warning" and "Error" loglevels
  • Filter also uses this property so you can filter by loglevel
• Parsing the "@mt" property, containing a possible message template, to correctly display the logmessage
  • If the logmessage contains a linebreak only the first line is displayed. The rest of the message is visible when expanding the message.
• Using the "SourceContext" property to build the tree for filtering. (Source context is expected to be dot seperated: "Example.Source.Context")
• Darkmode (can be toggled at the bottom of the filter sidebar)
• Watchmode
  • Can be enabled after selecting a file
  • Waits for changes, automatically jumps to the end to the logfile and displays them if any occur.
• File extension registration - .clef files will be automatically associated to Eco Clef Viewer
• Drag and Drop - you can simply drag a .clef file into the window to open it

To open the developer tools, in case of an error to read the console output, you can press Ctrl + Shift + I.

BEWARE! The selected file will be completely stored in your memory. So depending on your memory size, be careful!

• start: simply starts the angular web app without the electron part
• build: builds the angular frontend
• electron:build: builds the angular frontend, and electron application and runs it
• electron:nobuild: only builds the electon application and runs it without building the frontend again

eco-clefviewer's Issues

user installable version for linux distributions

method 1:
publish on flathub etc.

method 2:
for people that dont use flathub etc:

it would be nice if we could have an installation file (bash script etc) that would install / update the latest release of clef viewer to ~/.local on linux and create a .desktop file.

in my case its copied to ~/.local/bin

this eco-clefviewer.desktop file is what i'm using:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
NoDisplay=false
Exec=/home/larskoehne/.local/bin/Eco.Clef.Viewer.AppImage
Name=eco CLEF Viewer
Icon=eco-clef-viewer
Comment=view log files in .clef format
StartupWMClass=eco-clefviewer

this should be copied to ~/.local/share/applications

after that the images have to be created, sth like this (could be done one time in and checked into the repo):
needs image magick

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ]; then # || [ -z "$2" ]; then
	echo "usage: create-app-icons <path to input file> <icon name>"
	exit 1
fi

imgpath="$HOME/.local/share/icons/hicolor"
for s in `ls "$imgpath"` # 16x16 32x32 ...
do
	p="$imgpath/$s/apps/$2.png"
	magick "$1" -resize "$s" "$p"
	echo " => $p"
done
