Editor's review
Log files are basically, the textual record of all the activities related to the program or application to which it belongs. By viewing this log, the system administrator can get an idea about the occurrences of an application and it can be a very informative file if the application or a utility meets an error or gets crashed. But overtime, these log files can get very long depending upon the activities of the application in question and it may get complicated to view and infer anything from this log file. Thus you require an application like Hoo WinTail v.4.2.0.976 with the help of which, you can easily view the relevant log files.
Hoo WinTail v.4.2.0.976 is a shareware log viewing and log monitoring application for Windows operating system applications in real time, while the application is active. The utility of the program can be compared to the UNIX tail -f command with many more enhanced features. The program has an intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) for viewing the fresh entries in the log file of an application or system and all the output debug information. Under the conventional means, you essentially require to load the whole log file even if you just want to view the last part of the growing file but this program can let you view only the relevant portion without requiring you to spend time in loading the entire file. The program can perform simultaneous monitoring of a number of log files and can also be minimized to system tray. This system tray icon can flash all the relevant information whenever you want.
Hoo WinTail v.4.2.0.976 is overall, a comprehensive and feature packed application for viewing the log files and analyzing it to spot out the relevant information leading it to score four points on the scale of five.
