Kindling - a collection of tools to help with Ignition

Can you DM me that log file? I didn't think the format of the logging IDB had changed significantly, but it's possible I guess.

Kindling v1.0.1 is now available!

What's Changed

Kindling has been moved to the Inductive Automation Github organization, and is now code-signed with Inductive Automation's code signing certificate as part of a deployment strategy change from JDeploy to Hydraulic Conveyor. This enables fully modern, code-signed, notarized, executables that will auto update for Windows, Linux, and MacOS installation.

https://inductiveautomation.github.io/kindling/download.html

The core functionality is largely the same as the previous release, with some library updates, but this new release strategy will require a fresh download and install for all users; this should hopefully be the last time, since I'll be able to rely on Conveyor to automatically update.

Kindling v1.1.0 is now available! Anyone who has installed 1.0.1 should automatically get a prompt to autoupdate ~soon, or you can manually download the new release and install it.

What's Changed

  • A new shared preferences storage mechanism, including the following:
    • A whole array of new themes
    • A global UI scale option to improve accessibility
    • A persistent default tool and default opening location
    • UI preferences for log and thread views
    • An Advanced preference "Hyperlink Strategy" so that lines in stacktraces will open directly in Jetbrains IDEs (requires you have the Youtrack plugin installed)

  • Added support for deserializing BasicDatasets in S+F cache dumps
  • A vastly overhauled log view
    • Added time based filtering UI
    • Added MDC based filtering UI
    • Added thread based filtering UI

Kindling 1.2.0 is now available. This is a smaller release, but fixes a bunch of cosmetic issues, especially on MacOS, and unifies the filtering UI of logs and thread views for better consistency. And adds a neat project logo, the most important feature :slight_smile:

What's Changed

  • A project logo!
  • Improved log and thread panel filtering for consistency
  • Fix Windows file compatibility issue with JFileChooser

Hello @PGriffith, the tool is really nice, I have a question,


what this is referring to actually, I saw some spike at the end of the graph, what I should have understood from that graph spike.
Can you please let me know?

My understanding is that it's a graph of the activity level over the timeline. Eg less activity (fewer logs within a time window) will show a graph closer to the left, more activity (more logs within a time frame) will show a graph further to the right

That's the idea, yeah. It's currently pretty broken, though. Planned to be revisited, someday: Improve log graph view "minimap" ยท Issue #17 ยท inductiveautomation/kindling ยท GitHub

Thank you @nminchin and @PGriffith, please keep us posted, if you have optimized that

Kindling 1.2.1 is now available:
