I noticed that there is an entry "write a tool for parsing log files" on the call for volunteers page. Is this an outstanding issue? Are there any current efforts going on in this area?

Hi Donald, Yes, there's currently a project for this task: logback-decoder [1]. It's been on hold for a while now since I've been completely swamped. Any help with this project is appreciated! Feel free to critique (note it's in rough form). [1] https://github.com/qos-ch/logback-decoder -Tony On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 10:45 AM, Donald McLean <dmclean62@gmail.com> wrote:

Interesting, but not really what I was hoping for. Though truthfully, I'm not entirely sure what the use cases for logback-decoder are. My problem is that the app that I'm working on isn't amenable to conventional debugging, so use a "run with prodigious logging and sift through the wreckage" approach to many of my problems. It works, but it would work better if I had a tool, perhaps something along the lines of Lilith, or apparently logback-beagle, but not Eclipse based (I use IDEA) and capable of handling large volumes (Lilith was waaaaayyyy too slow).

Hi Tony, Ok, so I looked at the wiki and that helped make some sense out of where you're trying to go. While what you're doing is unfortunately of no help for what I need, The reverse is not necessarily true. The work that I've done so far includes a flexible/configurable parsing code. Once the log has been parsed, rewriting it in another format shouldn't be terribly difficult. I have some time and am will be actively continuing my work. If you are interested in supplying some user stories and test cases, I'll be happy to fold your needs into my work. On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 12:52 PM, Tony Trinh <tony19@gmail.com> wrote:
