Use Log Dispatcher to simultaneously monitor several logs as they are updated by
their driver applications in real time.
Log Dispatcher supports custom filter lists. Each monitored log can have it´s
own individual filter list. Use Filters to store and apply filter strings that
invoke specified OS commands if the filter string should appear in the monitored
file. This could be used to configure a set of alarms or even build a remote
scheduler or command dispatcher by appending filter strings into a remote control
file that is being monitored by Log Dispatcher in real time.
Log Dispatcher could run on several servers each monitoring a single, common control
file. Filter strings could then be used to invoke simultaneous or cascading actions
on each server by appending them to the common control file.
To use filters, select ´Filters´ from the ´Edit´ menu item after opening a log for
monitoring. You can add or delete filter strings and their corresponding commands
here. The filter string can be any free form text. The filter command can be any
executable, script name, link etc... that is within the execution space that Log
Dispatcher is running on.
