Server log viewer
Open a .log file and Editora switches into a dedicated log mode built for
reading server output. It’s on by default (Settings → Editor → Logs; toggle
with View: Toggle Log Viewer).
Severity highlighting
Lines are colored by level (ERROR / WARN / INFO / DEBUG / TRACE), both inline and
as a left-edge bar that works even on huge logs. It recognizes common
formats: Logback / Log4j, java.util.logging, syslog, nginx, structured / JSON,
zerolog, and access logs.
Follow and large logs
- Follow (
tail -f): a floating toggle streams new lines as the file grows and auto-scrolls to the bottom. It keeps streaming even while the buffer is read-only. - Open at the tail: very large logs open read-only at the end, so you’re not waiting on a multi-gigabyte file to load from the top.
Logs open in View mode (read-only with an Enable Editing banner) by default, since they’re for reading.
Live filtering
Filter as you type by a level floor and a regex (or a literal substring
when the query isn’t valid regex). A stack trace inherits its record’s level, so
an exception stays visible when you filter to WARN and above.
