Lilith is a logging and access event viewer for the Logback logging framework. It has features comparable to Chainsaw, a logging event viewer for log4j. This means that it can receive logging events from remote applications using Logback as their logging backend. It uses files to buffer the received events locally, so it is possible to keep vast amounts of logging events at your fingertip while still being able to check only the ones you are really interested in by using filtering conditions.

Recent releases


Release Notes: This release adds support for Java 7 suppressed exceptions. It also finishes support of cat and tail command line options for both logging- and access-events. A lot of dependencies have been updated, too, most notably SLF4J 1.6.4, Logback 1.0.1, and Groovy 1.8.6.


Release Notes: This is an interim release because of a rather critical bug. Webapps using a ClassicMultiplexSocketAppender would not undeploy properly because of a dangling classloader. The original intent was to wait for Logback 0.9.29 due to the issues with 0.9.28 described in "Known Issues", but an ETA for the next release was unavailable.


Release Notes: This version adds the ability to receive log4j and java.util.logging events over the Internet. It also offers new options concerning coloring of events matching user-defined conditions. A new "Find next/previous active" action jumps to any event matching a previously defined active condition. Additionally, Lilith will feel much snappier and contains many other small improvements.


Release Notes: This version provides compatibility with Logback 0.9.21 and SLF4J 1.6.0. It contains enhancements related to directly opened Lilith files, i.e. auto refresh and special icons. cat and tail functionality has been added to the Lilith main application, enabling the displaying of Lilith file content formatted in a way determined by a pattern given at runtime. Beside that, various smaller bugs have been fixed.


Release Notes: This release features more comfortable filtering of events and adds the ability to directly write Lilith logfiles using Logback.
