Search or download System Log

[CrispinF]

hi Joe, today I was needing to trawl the System Log on a deployed website written around cloudscribe, but to which I didn't have database access.
This became very laborious, looking at each page scrolling to the bottom or ctrl+f, looking for errors relating to the contact form.
Wondering if something could be done to make this easier?

e.g. if I'd been able to export the entire log to CSV that would have allowed me to do fast searches in e.g. Notepad++, or load it into Excel or Access for more advanced searching/filtering.

Alternatively an in situ filter on a wildcard string search could have found me the contact form issues I was needing to track down.

That is good feedback. I think probably both search and download capabilities could be built in a couple of hours. There could be some issues with providing download capability if the log is huge though.

At the moment I have a lot of other priorities demanding my time so I don't expect to get to this soon. Since you have sponsored other work I will mention that if you want to sponsor this effort I could make it a priority.

Alternatively if any community member would like to implement it and submit a pull request, that is also an option but would require a signed contributor agreement
