LogShark 4.1 is significantly FASTER and brings back the ability to write to a PostgreSQL database server, as well as a number of other improvements. In this release we are sharing the application as-is and will share the source code in a follow-up release.

Please note, unlike previous release LogShark 4.1 doesn't have an installer. Instead it is shipped as a self-contained application in a zip file (separate zip files for Windows and macOS). Please see Installation and User Guide for more details.

Highlights

  • FASTER!! We have recorded speed gains of at least 10-15x in processing logs. So you are getting your results today!
  • Visualize historic trends. You can visualize historic trends of your logs by appending the run results to previous runs in either PostgreSQL or Hyper output.
  • Custom workbooks. You can now open and see what default templates shipped with LogShark look like, and edit them for your subsequent runs. You can also easily add your own custom workbooks.
  • Detailed run and error summary! One of the issues we have heard is a need for a more detailed log run summary, including info on what lines failed to process and why. No more hunting for errors in LogShark logs!
  • Updated ART workbook. Updated ART (Activity and Resource Tracing) workbook to provide better analysis of CPU and memory utilization for each Vizqlserver activity.
  • Run LogShark from anywhere. LogShark can be added to PATH and executed from any directory.
  • macOS! Yes, you can now run LogShark on macOS (please note that 10.15 Catalina implemented new security features that are currently interfering with LogShark).

Other Improvements

  • Publish to sub-projects on the server. LogShark can now publish into other projects on Tableau Server.
  • Add your own RunID to the workbooks. To help you differentiate between multiple generated workbooks, we have implemented the feature where you can add your own name to the workbooks.
  • Better help text. We added usage examples to the help screen.
  • LogShark's logs in JSON or text format. LogShark's logs (not to be confused with Tableau logs) can be stored in JSON or text format.

Did we mention faster? LogShark 4.1 is seriously faster, and we couldn’t be more proud!
