Why NLog does not work and all others at minimum should be able to provide unfiltered raw view?

[LiorBanai]

I have a complete fix for this.
I'm working also on #1866 and will release new version probably over the weekend.

[LiorBanai]

@BirukTes Working on this. Will update

[LiorBanai]

already have some fixes.. still will imrpove it more

[LiorBanai]

I have Released new version. You can test it and report back with any problems :)
https://github.com/Analogy-LogViewer/Analogy.LogViewer/releases/tag/v5.1.1.0

[LiorBanai]

Very strange. I'll check this. thanks for updating me!

[LiorBanai]

Thanks. now I'm able to reproduce it.

[LiorBanai]

It is related to the WXI skin as discussed here
https://supportcenter.devexpress.com/ticket/details/t1098901/tokenedit-maskbox-internal-property-is-null-when-wxi-or-wxi-compact-skin-is-applied

for now you can probably use different skin to resolve it until I'll release a fix for the newly issue #1899

[LiorBanai]

could be. I'll investigate.

[LiorBanai]

Hi @BirukTes Nlog should be fully supported.
can you attach log for me to test it and fix the issue?

[BirukTes]

Hi @LiorBanai,
Try this file:
all-2023-10-09.log

[BirukTes]

Great progress! Thanks

[BirukTes]

Thanks @LiorBanai ,

Got another exception:

Tried it on my machine, as well as in Windows 10 sandbox to isolate from any existing configs or something.

• Have not tried the other builds only the NET 48

[LiorBanai]

Open the setting in the right and check the mapping of fields... It is kind of mandatory.

I may set default or better message to the user

[BirukTes]

Hi @LiorBanai, thanks, I just managed to test it again... I am not still not able to to view logs, I not very familiar with other analysers but I expect some minimum functionalities, therefore it is not user friendly as it is now but I appreciate the work you are doing... so here are I what I tried or expect:

• Any log/file should be viewable in plain text (I previously saw, Raw View feature but it did not work)
• It should to attempt to parse any log using the default separator, lets say NLog using "|", regardless of the column matching the datatype it expected or not, just like some CSV readers/Excel. This allows me/users, to reiterate by looking at the results... exceptions obviously are hard to make sense of, or it should identify which column it failed on...

This is the current exception.

Could you please send a screenshot of the mapping you used to test the Log file I provided previously? I am not sure what it is looking and some of the cannot be omitted. It is throwing the above exception.

Cheers

Hi @BirukTes

The following should work for the above file (all-2023-10-09.log):

Result:

I plan to release NET8 version soon so I'll add some instruction how to setup the columm's indexes

[LiorBanai]

Intereseting your settings also work.
What is the time format of your OS?

[BirukTes]

Hi @LiorBanai,

Thanks, I am using UK region and culture... so my Windows 10 time format is like: 15/11/2023 20:00:00 or dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss

[LiorBanai]

Thanks. I may have better solution. Can you add the nlog message template so I can infer the columns field mapping ad default setting?

[BirukTes]

Do you mean our NLog template?

layout="${longdate}|${aspnet-traceidentifier}|${event-properties:item=EventId_Id}|${uppercase:${level}}|${logger}|${message} ${exception:format=tostring}|url: ${aspnet-request-url}|action: ${aspnet-mvc-action}" />

I am still getting the same exception with your field mapping, but it works for you, there might something wrong in the Release build. Did you test it after building? Also, I am using Net48 build, Win 10.

I just tested Net6 and Net7, no errors but not supported msg:

[BirukTes]

Okay, it seems like Net48 has the most issues/exceptions, and other builds just do not show anything as I have just tested on my machine and Example tab that is provided both the Example 1 and 2, about 79 lines are created in background with Example data providers which is accessible by exporting the log... but clearly cannot be shown/displayed.

• It does not seems like there is a way to print all stack trace, which might help you... is there?
  

[LiorBanai]

can you zip the folder C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Analogy.LogViewer\ and attach it. I'm starting to think it is related to specific user settings/preferences..

[BirukTes]

Here:
Analogy.exe_Url_pl1fq2x5xzf3vfhs5p1vsqbuwm30nzjs.zip

can you zip the folder C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Analogy.LogViewer\ and attach it. I'm starting to think it is related to specific user settings/preferences..

[BirukTes]

So, I tried the 'Basic' theme, and the same result as other builds without exception and not logs parsed:

[LiorBanai]

Does more-> Windows Layouts -> Default fix this?

[BirukTes]

Now, briefly, I can see something displaying in the logs panel/area, which I managed to screenshot but stays only for 1 sec. This could be because of a logic error in the filters...?
