This Visual Studio Code(tm) extension adds analysis and visualization features for log files and should ease debugging especially of complex systems where multiple log files need to be considered at the same time.

Note: It works well with to handle large log files (few hundred MBs).

Note: The time-sync feature works well with for DLT (diagnostic log and trace) files.

• Configurable event tree-view (todo picture):
  • Helps quickly to understand the structure or to highlight events (errors/warnings,...).
  • Quickly jump to the event by selecting the item in the tree-view.
• Configurable decorations (todo picture).
• Time sync feature (todo movie...):
  • Detects time for each line.
  • An offset for the full file can be set via context menu item adjust time....
  • Posts events of the selected time to other documents/plugins. (See ... ).
  • Allows to "synchronize" this time with other visible documents from all plugins that support "onDidChangeSelectedTime" events.
• Allows configuration of multiple file types (see settings smart-log.fileConfigs).

To open large log files please consider installing "vsc-lfs" extension.

This extension contributes the following settings:

• smart-log.timeRegex: Regular expression (regex) to identify the time of a log line.
• smart-log.decorations: Definition of the decoration types supported for events.
• smart-log.fileConfigs: Definition of the configuration per file type.

(todo add example configs)

(Little testing done yet...)
