DotNetNuke-RealTimeLogWatcher

DotNetNuke module to live monitor log4net logs.

How it works

  • Uses a custom log4net appender to send out messages through SignalR
  • Enables you to pause the incoming messages to more closely inspect them.
  • Clicking on a row will save it to a saved log section where it will stay until the page is refreshed or you click to remove it.
  • You may change the number of log messages that are displayed at one time.
  • You can clear the list of log messages at any time.
  • Entries are color coded by their log level.

Installation

  • Install like any other module and add to a admin page.
  • Add custom appender to your DotNetNuke.log4net.config found in the root of your DotNetNuke website.
	<appender name="SignalrAppender" type="InspectorIT.RealTimeLogWatcher.Components.SignalrAppender, InspectorIT.RealTimeLogWatcher">
		<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
			<conversionPattern value="%date %-5level - %message%newline" />
		</layout>
	</appender>
	<root>
		<level value="ALL" />
		<appender-ref ref="RollingFile" />
		<appender-ref ref="SignalrAppender"/>
	</root>

Note: If you set your root log level to ALL you'll want to add the following to your RollingFile so it doesn't fill up with trace messages.

<param name="Threshold" value="ERROR" />

Requirements

  • Requires DotNetNuke 7.0.6. Simply because I didn't change the reference to something older. Incentive to be on the latest release.

Roadmap

  • Automatically add appender to DotNetNuke.log4net.config
  • Counting recurring messages.
  • Look into security issues.

Special Thanks

Thanks to Chris Fulstow and his log4net.SignalR project for giving me the idea.

Fun Facts

  • Uses AngularJS for the client side UI. Includes the new ng-animate directive to animate the log messages in and out of the table.
  • Uses SignalR Hubs to pass messages to the client in real time.
