Nice tool but, based on a subscription model, contrary to the promise. Actually, you have to renew, if you want ot use the software on a new PC, or when its config changes!

Hi Markus,

As we discussed extensively on our support forum, your software reverted to trial mode because you changed your computer's hostname.

LogViewPlus is a $45 purchase with an optional renewal as low as $11.25 per year. If you don't want to renew - that's fine. All existing installs will continue to work normally. The only downside is installations on new machines are prohibited.

When you purchase the software, you receive one year to register it on all of your machines as well as all version updates. Those specific registered machines will run the software indefinitely. However, our license ties your activation to your hardware state. If you move the software to a new PC or significantly alter your hardware after that first year, the system requires a renewal to authorize the new machine state.

As discussed on the forum, we provided you with a zero-cost solution. Just revert your PC name to the original hostname, your existing license will validate immediately without checking our servers, and you can continue using the software you purchased forever. Given the free workaround, the negative review comes as a surprise.

We recognize that our licensing is confusing for some users, which is why we are transitioning to a more standard model later this year. Until then, you must either revert your PC name to its registered state or purchase a renewal to generate a new activation signature.

An incredibly powerful product

An incredibly powerful product, LogViewPlus is my go-to for forensic analysis of a mountain of logging data our applications throw out. It can help spot trends and pinpoint problems that would be lost in the noise.
Coupled with responsive and helpful support, this is a product that needs to be in every developers toolkit.

I was looking for a long time for a descend ndjson log file viewer and had a pretty good picture of what i wanted: having at the same time a list overview and the possibility to get all details of one record.
LogviewPlus gave that plus lots more.
Also hats of for the very tight user interface, well done guys!

Can't fault the App 10/10

As a Developer of many years since the early days of Visual Studio I've used quite a few log file viewers. In my opinion this is one of the best options that won't break the bank. The dev team have thought of everything you would possibly want to be able to do, from filtering to applying templates to the data allowing you to view your logs just how you like. 10/10

Open Telemetry View

I'm looking into displaying logs that have been tagged with open telemetry spans and traces. I'd like to view logs by span id.

Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback. This might be better raised as a support request rather than a product review. Organizing logs by ID is something that LogViewPlus can do for most types of log file. It is difficult to know why you are having issues without more information.

Fine Flexible log viewer, best I know

Super flexible tool, really nice, but would be great if it would have a "keep alive" on ssh-Session.
E.g. there is a auto-logout on a Linux Server established, I tail a log file, and sometimes it stops working, looks like the autologout hits in the background

Thanks for the feedback Matt. Glad to hear you are finding LogViewPlus helpful. :-)

The keep-alive issue is probably best addressed by raising a support request on our forum. There is an application setting under "Tail & Scroll" which automatically disconnects after 4 hours by default. I suspect this might be this issue. You can change the timeout or just refresh the log file with F5. Hope that helps.

Best app for work with log files

I've been looking for a good log file analysis tool for a while and finally found it in this program. It's an incredibly powerful and intuitive tool. What I particularly liked was the speed with which it processed large amounts of data and the ability to set up filters to find the information I needed. In addition, the program interface is very convenient, which makes working with it even more pleasant. I am sure that this tool will become an indispensable assistant for everyone who works with log files.

Really Helpful

I work in software Support for 20 years now and deal with logfiles everyday. While checking for small things, any text editor will do, if you really need to analyze a problem and understand the chain of events that led to a problem, you need something like LogViewPlus where you can search, filter and really dig into the logfiles. My favorite feature is highlighting, where I can have one template with all the standard elements I look for, that is specific to my application/use case. Like version numbers, used memory etc. The only area where it's not perfect and I wish it could be better, is that sometimes LogViewPlus thinks, that a line in an XML file is not well formed and then stops reading the log there. That can of course happen when an application crashes. I wish it would inform me of this and tell me the line, but read the rest of the log anyway.

Overall good

The tool is great and makes sorting logs fairly easy with filtering and color coding. Big drawback is CPU and Mem stress when sorting through large logs. I had issues when my log files hit 40+ GB in size.
