New Post: in a farm, how to find specific correlation id?

RobinTheHood — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:27:59 GMT

so in dev single server finding a correlation id is easy, my qa farm has 4 app/wfe servers, and production has 6.

nailing down a specific correlation id in those environments is a bit of a scavenger hunt.

Suggestions please!

I add a correlation id filter. Want to submit changes, but can't. :(

New Post: Filter by correlation id

It would be good if you added a filter by correllation id, the text filter only seems to filter the message.

Ooh, ooh - I almost forgot! :)

One more request for Open Log File: The ability to open a directory and display the list of logs in a left-side navigation panel.

Thanks again! Really looking forward to any new release.

Hi Keir, great tool.

Makes my life so much easier.

I have two little feature requests that would make it that much more useful. Hope you can see your way to adding them in the future.

Open Log File: Having to continually browse from the default log path to our custom one is a little tedious. It would be great if the application could either:
- Remember last used location;
- allow user to specify a location via an application setting;
- or, better still, show a list of last used locations.
Text Filter: I love this. The live filtering is brilliant - and so quick. Any possibility of being able to 'exclude' as well?
- Perhaps a drop-down an option Include/Exclude on the current filter box, or an additional box to allow both at the same time?

Please keep up the great work. This is a terrifically useful tool. Dare I say indispensible? :D

Hi, great tool. Use it all the time for reading the logs :)

If SharePoint has been configured to save the logfiles on another drive then ULSViewer still opens the 12Hive location. Do you think you can read the path from the admin object model?

Regards,

Hi,

Nice tool! I want to be able to filter by 'Area'. Is that possible now?

I also miss the ability to sort my multiple columns. For example, I want to be able to sort by 'Area' and then by 'Time'.

Thanks!

New Post: writing to sharepoint log using reflection

neuralsea — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 10:09:08 GMT

an alternative is to use reflection. the code below uses the public static method SendTraceTag from the internal static class ULS. More of interest than anything else. The SharePoint ULS Viewer is a much more elegant solution - although I access the viewer from the _layouts/settings.aspx page and have modified the output.

using

System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace

ConsoleApplication1
{
public static class Trace
{
private const string typeName = "Microsoft.Office.Server.Diagnostics.ULS, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=12.0.0.0";
private const string tagName = "Microsoft.Office.Server.Diagnostics.ULSTagID, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=12.0.0.0";
private const string catName = "Microsoft.Office.Server.Diagnostics.ULSCat, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=12.0.0.0";
private const string levelName = "Microsoft.Office.Server.Diagnostics.ULSTraceLevel, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=12.0.0.0";

/// <summary>
/// replacement for using Console.Writeline in deploying
/// </summary>
/// <param name="ulsTagID">tag_7sek</param>
/// <param name="ulsCat">msoulscat_ULS</param>
/// <param name="ulsTraceLevel">Verbose</param>
/// <param name="message"></param>
public static void WriteLineToSharePoint(string ulsTagID, string ulsCat, string ulsTraceLevel, string message)
{
var type = Type.GetType(typeName, true, false);
var tag = Type.GetType(tagName);
var cat = Type.GetType(catName);
var level = Type.GetType(levelName);
var types = new[] { tag, cat, level, typeof(string) };
var methodInfo = type.GetMethod("SendTraceTag", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public, null, CallingConventions.Standard, types, null);
var enumTag = GetEnumValue(tag, ulsTagID);
var enumCat = GetEnumValue(cat, ulsCat);
var enumLevel = GetEnumValue(level, ulsTraceLevel);
var constructorParams = new[] { enumTag, enumCat, enumLevel, message };

methodInfo.Invoke(

null, constructorParams);
}

private static object GetEnumValue(Type paramName, string paramValue)
{
var field = paramName.GetField(paramValue);

return field.GetValue(paramName);
}
}
}

Hi,
my feature request would be reading the logs from all servers in the farm.
