Compact formatting

Compact formatting. The initial version is based on this project

example log:

{"@t":"2016-10-12T04:46:58.0554314Z","@mt":"Hello, {@User}","User":{"Name":"nblumhardt","Id":101}}
{"@t":"2016-10-12T04:46:58.0684369Z","@mt":"Number {N:x8}","@r":["0000002a"],"N":42}
{"@t":"2016-10-12T04:46:58.0724384Z","@mt":"Tags are {Tags}","@l":"Warning","Tags":["test","orange"]}
{"@t":"2016-10-12T04:46:58.0904378Z","@mt":"Something failed","@l":"Error", "@x":"System.DivideByZer...<snip>"}

Regular Expression Parser

Regular Expression Parser: in this mode you need to define your custom regex to match you log format in the application settings.

for example, with the above regex: in the screenshot this example log can be parsed:

$2020-04-24 13:18:23,207|1|INFO|logsource|My Manager App Starting...
$2020-04-24 13:28:24,380|1|WARN|files|file not found
$2020-04-24 13:48:27,193|2|INFO|AppBase|Loading done

the available tags to use for parsing are:

public enum AnalogyLogMessagePropertyName
{
 Date,
 ID,
 Text,
 Category,
 Source,
 Module,
 MethodName,
 FileName,
 User,
 LineNumber,
 ProcessId,
 ThreadId,
 Level,
 Class,
 MachineName,
}

which corresponding to AnalogyLogMessage fields. Saying that, a dynamic way to read properties is to populate the AddtionalInformation property to show new columns at run time like the following image:

Real Time Sink

There is a windows GRPC Service for Sending log messages at https://github.com/Analogy-LogViewer/Analogy.LogViewer.gRPC. Analogy Log Viewer can read back those messages using the following custom Serilog Sink.

The following modules exists:

Nuget	Version	Description
Analogy.LogViewer.gRPC		Primary Analogy Log Viewer grRPC providers
Analogy.LogServer		A windows Service for receiving logs
Analogy.LogServer.Clients		gRPC client to pull back messages from Analogy Service
