Log Viewer

ACC Tools provides the Log Viewer tool available by selecting Window, Log Viewer from the menubar. This tool is primarly for the development team to troubleshoot any issues, but is not hidden from you.

ACC Tools logs to four separate files, each displayed on a separate tab in the Log Viewer. All tabs behave the same.

The left side of Log Viewer displays a list of log files displaying the date it was created.

The top half of the main panel of Log Viewer displays the entries from currently selected log file in a table in the order they were written to the file.

Selecting an entry in the entry table will display the details in the bottom half of the main panel.

Log Viewer supports searching for entries via the search field in the top right corner. Entering a full or partial search time in this field will filter the entry table to rows where that term is included in any of the columns. Matches for the search term will be highlighted to make it easy to identify where it was matched.

Impact on Performance

ACC Tools uses the NLog logging library, which is configured to log asynchronously. This minimises the impact on performance as log entries are first written to memory and the later batches of entries are written to the relevant file.
