Several bugs and issues in the log command will not result in errors, but will misleadingly return no log entries when used in search predicates.
Console
This new version works around multiple issues in the log show command, to make the use of search predicates much more reliable and consistent.
Free, works with Sierra and other unified logs, examines log entries already in the log, unlike Console. Now supports logarchives and more.
Some subtle improvements which make it much easier to use when working with saved logarchives. A final release candidate?
This makes it much easier to perform repeated analysis and search on logs captured to cover important events, such as crashes and problems.
This version allows you to open, browse, and analyse any .logarchive bundle, from a Mac, iPhone, iPad, or more. Ideal for forensic analysis.
Conventional log analysis gets precious little from Sierra’s unified log. Automated analysis has much greater potential. Will Apple head in this direction too?
Currently they all look like old bugs, some going right back to Mavericks and earlier.
What would you like to see change in the next version of Consolation?
Significant bugs or undesirable features limiting log, Console, and os_log as of 10.12.4.
