LogAnalyzer - Report Manager - White List

Post by pmc »

I would like see a future addition in LogAnalyzer/Report Manager.

Today, you can specify, for a given report, a black list - which says which tests not to include in the report.

But what's missing is a white list - which would say which tests that should be included in the report.

Theoretically this can be done just using the black list, but it's darn inconvenient. For instance, if I have 100 tests, and I want a report that just shows 6 of them, I have to blacklist the other 94. And as soon as I add another test, my black list is out of date.

Another workaround would be to specify different log files on all different tests, and then run the command logsman.exe to specifically load different log files to generate different reports. But that's a pain, not to mention a lot more work to configure every different test to use a variety of different log files - I would like to just use one common log file.

P.S. - Alex --> Hostmon is a great product for the price, nice job! My suggestions are just ideas to make it even better in the future.

Or better yet, tell LogAnalyzer to have black lists or white lists for folders of tests, not just tests.

Even easier to use (harder to program of course .... :o )

Yes, we have this task in "to do" list.

Its a problem because logs do not contain any information about folder tree.
