Tail and Grep log files with ease.

Sometimes the most important log entries are also the most recent. LogViewPlus gives you real-time log file monitoring with advanced search.

LogViewPlus helps you tail and grep the most recent log entries. (1:25)

There is a good reason why Tail and Grep are standard tools in every developer's toolbox. These programs are great at helping you manage your log files. LogViewPlus does an even better job because it transforms log files into meaningful data. Viewing log files in LogViewPlus will unlock a new level of functionality way beyond tail and grep.

Tail in Windows done right!

LogViewPlus processes real-time log file updates through functionality similar to the Unix Tail command which tracks log entries as they are written to the log file. All features in LogViewPlus are built with tail in mind, so when a new update happens, filters and statistics update automatically.

Tail Log Files from Anywhere

LogViewPlus includes built-in support for technologies like SFTP, FTP, SCP, and SSL as well as mapped drives and Samba shares. Now you can read and tail all of your log files in Windows without starting a telnet session. It may sound small, but when you do it every day this feature can really add up to save you a lot of time. If you find an issue and need to jump on the box, we make that easy too by working with third party tools such as PuTTY.

Merge Log Files

With LogViewPlus, you can open as many log files as you need and press a button to combine them. Merged log file entries are automatically sorted by date so the information appears to be written by a single process. Merging log files can provide your analysis with more data, or give you insight into how multiple processes interact.

Quick Data Filters

Filtering log files is better than searching because filters can be combined into a more detailed query. For example, you can narrow your log file down to a particular thread and then search just within that thread. Filter results can also be joined using AND OR relationships or excluded to show everything that does not match. LogViewPlus is like tail, grep, and awk combined and redesigned for Windows.
