LogViewer CLI

Accessing log entries using the CLI

The CLI-based LogViewer works like the UNIX tail command when in display mode. The command mode has a multiple-level menu that you can display at any time. You can specify a command or log file using the minimum number of unique characters in the name, and can quickly toggle between the command and display modes. LogViewer buffers new log entries while in command mode and displays them when it returns to display mode.

The LogViewer CLI assigns a different color to each logging level, for example, WARN or INFO, using standard ANSI color attributes that can be specified as CLI startup options or configured through the GUI. The CLI also supports the use of filters, plugins, and quick links.
