Sitecore Log Analyzer

There is a painful process for the support guys to check for logs after the deployment on production and keep tracking of errors and warnings. Many of them are aware of a few tools to analyze the logs by which they can easily track for the Errors and warnings and other information also but few of them are not.

There was a case in my organization also that there were almost 5 applications that went on production but after deployment this was pain for the support guys to keep tracking the long and long generated logs of Sitecore and custom logs for API for 5 applications and minimum two CD servers for each application with one CM server each.

I searched for the tools on the market place luckily I was not the only one who wanted the pain for the support guys to be reduced. So I found a tool on the Sitecore Market Place named Sitecore Log Analyzer.

This is an awesome tool to analyze your long logs. It segregates the logs by Errors, Warning, Info, Fatal, Debugs and Verbose as shown in the screenshot below:

You just have to pass the path to the location of your log (in Log Location input box) and then rest it will do all the things:

1. It will tell you how many and what are the error in your application
2. Warnings and other fatal errors
3. Audit (Beside the messages tab) show you the info of who logged in at what time
4. Give raw view for your logs also so that you don’t have to download the physical logs in your machine

How to install this tool?

You can either install it in your machine or on the servers where logs will be present. If you install it in your machine, then you need the network access for the location of the logs present on different servers. 

1. For installation download it from http://dl.sitecore.net/updater/scla/ and simply install it.
2.  After installation, you can search for the SCLA in your start menu
3. Then the GUI will be opened as shown in the first screenshot.

 It is not that much difficult just provide the path of the log, in the GUI and press Analyze/Refresh button to segregate all the data in readable format for you.
