Any good tutorials on lilith (log viewer for Logback)?


I am using slf4j + logback for logging. I am looking for a good event log viewer (like Apache Chainsaw). Logback website mentions Lilith. The lilith website is not only ugly (says so on website homepage!) but also lacks any documentation whatsoever.

Are there any tutorials on how to get started with Lilith (may be I am finding it difficult to grasp as I have never used Apache Chainsaw, would it help if I read a tutorial on Chainsaw?).

Also, are there any alternative log viewers for logback with better documentation?


Solution

  • I'm the developer of Lilith and the creator of the ugly homepage. ;)

    I know that it is lacking documentation and I'm not very good at "selling" my application.

    Please take a look at the readme over at https://github.com/huxi/lilith

    I tried to describe the most common use-cases of Lilith in that file. There is also some help contained in Lilith itself.

    Ekkehard Gentz has written a small tutorial about Lilith: http://ekkescorner.wordpress.com/2009/09/05/osgi-logging-part-8-viewing-log-events-lilith/

    Hope that helps.
