FAQ

Q: I can't see all logged messages!!!

LogPipe will fail quietly if anything goes wrong. This includes serialization of the log event, transport errors and more. This is done so that a problematic logger or transport will not cause the application being diagnosed to misbehave.

Q: LogPipe is causing my application to misbehave!

Please report this ASAP, unless you are able to fix the issue and commit a pull request. As previously mentioned, the strategy is fail and forget, meaning that ALL AND ANY errors that occur should be silently consumed, as to prevent the application from failing or misbehaving due to an auxillary logger.

Q: The interactive mode doesn't work!

LogPipe uses Stty to switch the terminal from line-buffered mode to raw character mode in order to implement custom readline functionality. In the long run, this will mean that you can enter commands or filter expressions while the log keep updating, but today it means that certain platforms may encounter issues.
