Polarion Log Parser | Analyzer

 A small Java tool for high-level Polarion log file analysis. It provides basic information about the log file, lists errors/exceptions, the slowest operations (TXLOGGER lines), etc.

Description

The Polarion Log Parser | Analyzer is a simple tool to parse Polarion log files and output an analysis of various aspects decoded from them. It can produce text-based (machine-readable) or cleaner (human-readable) HTML output.

It allows high configurability via an extensible set of regular expression-based rules. The tool comes with an initial set of rules for basic analysis.

 

Execution

To run the tool, you must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on your computer. This tool is built using Java 17, requiring a Java 17 JRE or newer.

We recommend adding the Java binaries to the OS PATH environment variable so you can call the Java interpreter directly.

The tool is distributed as a JAR file so it can be executed from a command line (in Linux or Windows).

 

Documentation

Full documentation is available in the form of a PDF document that is included in the distribution package downloadable from this page.
