When sending logs to the Smartinspect router, everything is sealed in the router XML configuration file. Example control commands: – force the router to create a new log file: closes the current file regardless of rotation or any other setting and begin logging to new one.

Enabled zooming in/out on the display font using shortcut keys( Ctrl +/- perhaps). Not sure about whether this should apply across the board or only in the focused view.

I do this manually with external if statements to reduce the number of logged entries, but it would be much cleaner if there were overloaded methods to do this for each watch. For example: log.WatchInteger(“MyName”, currentValue); would also have log.WatchInteger(“MyName”, currentValue, previousValue); This version WatchInteger would only create a watch entry if the currentValue differs […]

One downside to using the console if you are doing a lot of logging is that it can run out of memory. Logging to files avoid this issue by rolling over new files and can be configured as to what triggers the role over. Would love to have something, similar for the console which would […]

Currently they are separate binaries, which is annoying when they are almost entirely the same.

Currently the watches graph seems to automatically get its min/max values from the first few entries and these values are frequently inappropriate for the actual data. Being able to set the scales manually would really help make the watches graph more useful. Or at least having a refresh type button that would rescale on the […]

There is currently no mechanism to filter based on Level. For example: if I wanted to only see all log entries that were as message level or higher, there is no way to do this. Granted I can filter on entry type but this is not the same. For example: If I have a bunch […]

One thing that was/is really great about Rave reports is that one could embed the report designer into ones app to allow users to create their own reports without leaving the app. This was especially useful when one had custom data connections that would not work external to the app. Likewise is would be great […]

When one comes to a new .NET or Java project, they often are already using NLOG or LOG4J. Having a concrete implementation of SmartInspect that corresponds to the .NET iLogger interface or the Apache Commons Logging API would really help in transitioning from older style loggers to SmartInspect.

They become huge on some of our systems and zip-ing them reduces the size to less than 1/10, so there is a lot room for improvement.
