Idea - Filters logs by EXCLUDING keywords

Filters logs by EXCLUDING keywords

New

Service Center

Add a way to filter the logs by excluding keywords.

Use case : one of our process calls an external API using ArdoHTTP and every call results in a SLOWEXTENSION log, thus flooding the general log with pages of useless logs.

This makes trying to find significant logs very difficult and time consuming.

Being able to filter out by keywords, ie SLOWEXTENSION, would solve this issue.

Completely agree @Francois Gaudet. We had similar issues with one of our previous projects. It is really frustrating to go through unwarranted logs. The work around we had was to identify the call window; when it was called, and filter on time. It still was much frustrating.

Could we have it how ebay does it.... prefix keywords with a minus?

So in this context you would use -SLOWEXTENSION, ideally with support for multiple keywords:

-SLOWEXTENSION -SLOWQUERY

(Also, exact phrase searching using quotes if it doesn't do it already?)

@Nathan Hobbs : exactly!

I had actually tried that syntax before posting the idea; this also seems simple to implement and use.
