SnakeNest

SnakeTail ver. 1.6 is now available, and improves tailing of EventLogs. It also includes the ability to search the EventLog.

SnakeTail has reached version 1.5.1 and again it is mostly a maintenance release with several bug fixes. It now allows one to quickly jump between highlighted sentences.

SnakeTail has reached version 1.4 and is mostly a maintenance release. It includes some new minor features when using tabs and fixes several bugs.

SnakeTail now supports drag drop from Windows Explorer to tail new files. Default configuration for new files can be made by saving a session file with one configured window as ‘SnakeTail.xml’. It will look for the default session file in the following locations:

• Application Path/SnakeTail.xml
• Current User AppData/Roaming/SnakeTail/SnakeTail.xml
• Current User AppData/Local/SnakeTail/SnakeTail.xml
• Common AppData/SnakeTail/SnakeTail.xml

SnakeTail now supports sentence highlight with color based on keyword match.

SnakeTail have now received its first feature request which have now been implemented

SnakeTail have now reached its first feature milestone, where all features can be activated through the GUI without needing to edit the session xml file manually.

SnakeTail is yet another tail application, which tries to provide the following important features:

• MDI windows, so one can monitor multiple tail files without switching between tabs.
• Display and search the entire log file and not just the last 64 KByte.
• High performance and low memory footprint.
• Monitor the Windows Event Log.
• Works on all modern Windows versions without needing administrator rights.

These features were hard to find in the available utilities found on the Internet.

As an added side bonus then it gave me some experience in developing on the .NET platform.
