Export

Choose a format to export the current view

You can export your logs in several formats :

• ATOM and RSS for your feed reader
• CSV for your boss
• XML
• JSON
• JSON Pretty Print for your human eyes
• JSONP for jQuery for example

Exporting your logs in the CSV format for example will just launch the download on your computer.

Exporting your logs in ATOM and RSS is a little bit more interesting because you can put these both URLS in your RSS reader and then be alerted as soon as a certain type of log appears!

Exporting your logs in XML, JSON and JSONP is awesome because you can use your generated URLs in your own app to do exactly what you want ! Pimp My Log becomes a secure gateway between your protected log files and your external apps.

Just 3 more things !

1. Security rules are applied in all feeds. So if a log file is only accessible by some users, these users will generate a feed URL with their Access Token and with a security hash embedded. As an admin, if you revoke a user for a log file, its feed will not work anymore for this user only.

2. If an private URL (with access token) is now public, as a user you can reset your access token and your salt key and then regenerate all wanted feed URL. Previous URL will not work anymore.

3. You can use some parameters in the URL. Try to export in JSON format for example, parameters are explained in the popup. The most important parameter is search : you can specify a search expression (text or regex) to retrieve only important logs in a feed.

Authentication

There are 3 modes :

• no authentication : people can view all configured log files
• authentication enabled : only users can view log files according to their rights
• authentication enabled with anonymous access : only users can view log files according to their rights and visitors can view some log files
