You can use LogViewPlus to monitor a log file and send email - but the application will need to be running for a logged in user.

By default, LogViewPlus stores all log entries read in memory.  This makes LogViewPlus a memory intensive program.  If you want a server process which monitors your log files, you are probably looking for something more light-weight. 

We would like to create a separate server process which is built on the LogViewPlus parsing logic, but this isn't something that we are actively working on at the moment.

Hope that helps,

Hi,
I looked at the command line options but I can't seem to open specific workspace as seen on the screenshot previous post. Since you mentioned it is GUI application and I get it that it can't run as a service, how do I send SMTP of the error log? Will there be a plan down the road to include command line options to do more that only GUI can do now?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out.

You can start LogViewPlus from the command line and open a target workspace.  However, LogViewPlus is a GUI application.  It needs to run within a user / windowed environment.  It cannot run as a background process or service.

Hope that helps,

Hi,
I have a set of production servers that LogViewPlus can read the error.txt file. I was wondering if it is possible to run it from command line and email the error using SMTP notification?
Example:
New Prod Servers group Workspace - Server 1, Server 2 etc.
Goal: SMTP of Server 1, Server 2 etc log level error (see screen shot)



Hope that helps.
Thanks,
