How can I see log information during index creation or query? (watching progress)

Added by Mark Schlieker 1192 days ago

When running the indexing task it might run for a very long time without telling the user about the progress. It makes the user get frustrated not knowing what might be the estimated remaining time to wait for the task to finish.
I know you use log4j in your project but I guess you have no log production turned on in release build, do you?
Can you provide options which makes SupoSE writing log information either to
-the command shell window,
-a log file
-or (my favorite solution) permitting chainsaw to attach to the logging service?

For the solution which uses chainsaw as logging could you also describe how to setup chainsaw so users know how you attach to the logger?
I find it quiet frustrating not to know how far the tool just came while waiting for it to finish.

Info about chainsaw:

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi there,

isn't there be a file.log created during the scan process in the directory where you started the supose.cmd or supose.sh ? I haven't turned of logging anyway...

But of course i can add an issue entry or you can do if you like....

Oh yes you are right.
But I have to reload the logfile again and again to see the progress.
Ok at least there is a solution.

(tail is available for Windows and Mac OS).
