Posted in Development, Reviews  by Lucas Artigas

To develop, test or debug is such a hard work! It seems that ViewonCode staff made their best to make developers' work easier and more efficient.

Using this application while you are doing your job in C++ or .NET will enable you to have full control over your logs as you develop, debug, test or monitor any piece of software. Additionally, ViewonLog enables you to make many changes into the Logging Policy and you can do it in run-time, yes, you can log any message you choose even not having to make any modification to the source code or even restarting your running application. Developers know what this means, as well as they know that this kind of application performance enhancement is fully useful.

How does it work? Let’s get inside and learn a little
As I said before, this is a logging application that works in real-time and it will automatically check your work as you develop or test software, it will also gather together all the log messages while the software is being used. Once you have all those logs collected ViewonLog will help you to search among them in a fast way.

You will also experience a highly dexterous and suitable way of working as you will have the ability to change the logging policy without having to restart the application; all the messages in the logger are eliminated and specified by this policies within the time that has been scheduled.

Main features are: Text, Dump data, Screenshot logging and they support six logging levels which are:trace, debug, info, warn, error, and fatal, their meanings are explained in this graphic:

TRACE TRACE - Very detailed message for developers.
DEBUG DEBUG - Less detailed message for developers.
INFO INFO - Generic information message.
WARN WARN - Warning message.
ERROR ERROR - Handleable error message.
FATAL FATAL - Unhandleable error message. after FATAL the application usually terminates.

Do it log: Is it Text, Dump, or Screenshots?
This feature is available in ViewonLog since you can do logging on text, dump data and screenshot in a very easy and fast way, all you have to do is to type a simple line, this will open different information options for each message , you will get logged information concerning the process in particular and the application in general. In addition to that, you will notice that every icon shows the logging status of the specific dump data or screenshot, now you will certainly know it for sure! And just by clicking over the message this items will be displayed in an automated way.

In this fashion you will have:
-Logging Date & Time
-File name & Line
-Class name & Function name
-Stack information
-Computer name & IP address
-Application name & Version
-Process ID & Thread ID
-System error code

Summarized Main Additional features:
Remote logging and applications with multithread support.
Upto 100Gb log file capacity
32/64-bit logging libraries client-available (C++, .NET, static linked/dynamic
linked libraries and assemblies)

Final Words
Having said that, I will tell you that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and that there is a lot more to learn about this tool which will enormously help any developer to get the most possible efficiency in their jobs and in making the best of their skills. You have potential, ViewonLog gives you accuracy at full capacity.
