Log Hound

Log Hound is a standalone JavaScript logging utility that allows you to log messages during execution of JavaScript code. The log messages are stored and are viewable via the logging user interface which allows you to search the messages using multiple cooperative criteria. Log messages can be categorized by severity and by tags that can be associated with the messages when they are logged.

Logging functions can be reached globally through the window object, and since Log Hound can be disabled globally, there's no need to have to add and remove the logging statements between development and production of your code.

News (May 8th 2012)

Next Version: 2.5

Look at the trunk demo page - lots of changes!

Reversed the colour scheme so that message text is the colour indicating the log level, not the background. This should make it a little easier on the eyes.

Added the number of messages for a given level to that level's masking button.

Still have to get to the CSS layout problems, the lack of depressed or active state styling for buttons, and a few other functional improvements before 2.5 is finished cooking.

Demonstration Pages

1. Trunk: Vorpal-edge code that may or may not be stable.
2. Development: The latest alpha or beta release. It will work, but things may be missing.
3. Release: Version 2.0.1 is the latest full version.

What now?

Check out the features.

Look at the API.

Download the latest version (2.0.1). There's an html demonstration page in the zip you can open locally in a browser to play around with it.

Use it. Here are the installation instructions.
