Let me see your logs
28. Nov. 2012 by Daniel

About three months ago I came across a tool (thanks to the Silesian JUG!) that promised to accelerate and facilitate searching and browsing over server logs. Sceptical as I was, I had a quick look at the short tutorial: Youtube Video - Retrospective Tutorial . I decided to have a closer look at the application.

A short retrospective on Retrospective GUI
07. Sept. 2012 by Magda

In the search to provide an efficient and effective log management tool centeractive realized that a critical aspect of such a tool was the User Interface. Most of the time analysts are not looking at the console for entertainment, but because they want to find a specific message that will tell you what went, or is going, wrong.

Changes in Retrospective - enhancing the experience
31. Aug. 2012 by Markus

Finding something can be harder than one could think and missing it can sometimes have some serious consequences. If it’s your car keys, you will simply run a bit late. But if it’s some information from your production environment server trying desperately to let you know that it’s about to collapse, it’s something much more serious. Recent changes introduced in Retrospective are all about helping you find what you want when searching and not miss what’s really important when tailing.

Retrospective features in a nutshell
23. Aug. 2012 by Kevin

...the industry consensus is that immature searching and reporting capabilities have become the bottleneck in current log management offerings. It is obvious that when you have hundreds of devices producing logs, no analyst has the time to analyze even a part of them, let alone identify the important events amidst such a flood of data. So, any improvements in the processes for querying logs and extracting pertinent data from them can only be welcomed.
