Viewing log files on-line

[nuke764]

I have a quick one. Does CF have any way to "convert" a text (log) file into html? What I'd like to do is view the CF logs from the browser without renaming them. Any and help is great.

Thanks
Craig

The application.log and server.log are the good ones. I'm not sure what the path is (/opt something on Solaris, with standard installation) but you should be able to get that out of the Administrator. Just use CFFILE to read the log, then print it out. It actually has formatting in it (some <p> tags, mostly) so it's readable. It's not <i>good</i> formatting but it should do the trick!

<cffile action=&quot;READ&quot; file=&quot;/opt/something/application.log&quot; variable=&quot;applicationlog&quot;>
<cfoutput>#VARIABLES.applicationlog#</cfoutput>

Hope that works, someone else should be able to point out the path if you can't find it (if not I'll get it for you on Monday).

for html output use this:

<cfoutput>#HTMLEditFormat(VARIABLES.applicationlog)#</cfoutput>

Thanks for the input. When I get a chance I'll give it a try.
