InstantForum 2017-1 FinalLogViewPlus Supporthttps://www.logviewplus.com/forum/LogViewPlus SupportWed, 06 May 2026 23:21:59 GMT20https://www.logviewplus.com/forum/post/86Hi Team (again)!<br/><br/>I would love the ability in my parser to add a filter that nulls out an entire row if it matches my filter/regex thing! Basically every time my app stops and starts my logger automatically places a header and footer to the log file so I can better track when the app has stoped and stared. Unfortunately this log doesn't follow my files parser and causes Fatal logs to be mistakenly made!<br/><br/>My short term solution was to remove the header and footer from my logger and I plan now to just make a new header and footer which follows the pattern so its parsed as an info, however I would love it if I could just filter a row out!<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/>Michael.Tue, 12 Feb 2019 07:46:23 GMTfalconmickhttps://www.logviewplus.com/forum/post/88Hi Michael,<br/><br/>What I would expect to happen is the unparsed line shows up as part of the message of the previous log entry.&nbsp; In the case of the header, it should be in the message of the first log entry.&nbsp; I am not sure why it is changing the priority to Fatal.&nbsp; This may be a bug.&nbsp; I may be able to help more if I could see your pattern and a few sample log entries.<br/><br/>It might help in this case if you create a multi-pattern parse.&nbsp; You could then parse the headers and footers which should make it easier to filter them out.&nbsp; &nbsp;Multi-patterns are described at the bottom of this page:<br/><a href="https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/pattern_parser.html">https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/pattern_parser.html</a><br/><br/>You could also write a custom plugin, but this would require distribution on all machines where you use LogViewPlus:<br/><a href="https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/post_processors.html">https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/post_processors.html</a><br/><br/>Unfortunately, I don't think this is something we can put into LogViewPlus as a feature.&nbsp; The issue is that it would increase configuration complexity to solve a uncommon problem.&nbsp; Complexity is a struggle with an application like LogViewPlus and something we work hard to keep at a minimum.<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/><br/>Toby<br/><br/>Tue, 12 Feb 2019 07:46:23 GMTLogViewPlus Support
