The framework should support plugins for external .dlls. For instance, if I want to display a watch graph, a plot window, etc. I should be able to programatically add this in and have it appear where the details, bookmarks, etc. are. This is very helpful when wanting to visually plot things such as learning curves from ML testing, or when I intercept RI messages and analyze them in real time.

no log files were generated for the viewer to find. I followed the instructions in the getting started page and applied them to my WPF application

as title says..

besides, i think marketing is the issue with your product.
i've learned about it from smartinspect forum. i was thinking, may be the product is new, but no, it is here quite a some time already.

when i was searching for logging framework in my time, i nevernot even once had seen the word "ReflectInsight". it' all about log4net, smartinspect, nlog and some others.
i think you should widen your interwebs presence.

and make a comparison table, yes. especially if it is (objectively) favorites your product

I want to be able to set up rules, so that when they happen, i get an audible feedback.

For example, for each new exception, i hear some beep!

Would it be possible to implement encrypted logging, so that all messages stored are unreadable for the people without the password?

I would like the viewer to highlight itself on the Windows task bar when a new event pops up.

Provide support for elmah.

Provide the capability to copy and/or export only selected messages. This is invaluable when wanting to provide info to others on only selected message types/conditions.

One of the huge advantages of your logger is its extensibility using custom listeners. One such useful listener would be a heartbeat monitor that monitors the health of an application.

If you added a Heartbeat message type then this could be filtered and routed to the new listener. We could add our own custom logic to this listener and act accordingly if a heartbeat message had not been received within an allotted timeframe.

I would be really useful to wrap up monitoring logic within the same framework as tracing/profiling and debugging.

Update User Defined View to be able to create a UDV by message contents.

A work around for this right now is to go to the Advanced Search and bookmark all the results. Then use the Bookmarks view as a way of seeing results that you would typically want to show up in a UDV.

Create a "Viewer" user control that encapsulates the messages, properties, scratchpad, details, etc. windows of the live/log viewer such that developers could easily include it in their applications where an external viewer is not desired or allowed. This basically is a developers version of a log/live viewer complete with menus, contexts, etc.

Currently you can only specify a single Extended Property and Value when creating a User Defined View.

It would be great if you can include multiple extended properties to help refine the user defined view results.

Add a 'Watch Graph' panel similar to the scratchpad that allows graphical tracking of object values over time. This can be a line/sparkline, etc. but will plot selected object values over time. Very useful for seeing values over a time period versus the current value in the scratchpad.

Add the ability to programatically denote a message a client is sending should be automatically bookmarked in the viewer.

The ability to copy all bookmarks in the Bookmarks window would be very helpful. For instance, I may do a search for all Errors, bookmark them all, and see 500. Copying all bookmarks (at least the message section) and sending that in an email, inserting into Excel, etc. will be very helpful. I may just want to send all the bookmarked messages in an email to alert another group that a problem is happening, rather than provide details of each problem (general alert).

Add a time line graph and summary section for a user defined view. This should be configurable to show/hide.

Section should show a timeline graph of the time span for the user defined view with vertical lines showing perhaps the number of messages received per hour (of something else).

Maybe show other information like the number of messages for each give type, only for those logged in the user defined view.

Example: Say 2 errors come in and 55 messages and 3 warnings.
Errors: 2
Messages: 55
Warning: 3
