Two features that can effect Chainsaw performance, both available from the 'view, \
application wide preferences' menu:

- Responsiveness slider

If you are receiving a lot of events which are affecting Chainsaw's responsiveness, \
move the slider toward 'slow'.  Chainsaw receives events and processes all of the \
received events in an interval based on this slider value.  Moving the slider toward \
slow increases this interval.

- Cyclic buffer size

If Chainsaw is using a lot of memory, reduce the cyclic buffer size (note: you can \
bypass the cyclic buffer on a per-tab basis from the 'current tab, use cyclic' menu \
item or the toolbar.

Hope that helps,

I am using the LogFileReceiver with Chainsaw and it's working really
well. With the latest Chainsaw build, I see that it's tailing even when
I filter for a term, which is a really useful improvement in my opinon!
Great work!

 

Now for some feature requests (or undocumented features?):

 

Can the LogFileReceiver handle multiple input files? Our application
archives log files on a regular basis by gzipping them. It would be very
useful to input a file spec with wildcards and have the LogFileReceiver
"automagically" open all files matching the and "gunzipping" the ones
that have extension .gz.

I assume this would be useful to many other users, too?

 

Also, Chainsaw has a heavy footprint memory and CPU-wise. Is this
unavoidable with Swing-clients, or could it be tuned? On my WinXP with
2GB memory, Alt-Tab'ing to Chainsaw requires a 3-5 second wait before
the GUI is redrawn...
