I have released Beta 2 of version 2.4, this version can be tested/viewed on:

Highlights:

• A new web page “Logger Summary” that shows log entries categorized by logger and log level. The “Logger Summary” page has the same filter and drill down functionality as found in the “old” dashboard page.
• Added from/to date time input fields in the filter panel, this makes it possible to filter on date/time interval. Useful when using the new “Logger Summary” page.
• Added from/to id input fields in the filter panel, this makes it possible to filter on an id interval.
• A first version of an OracleProvider to read log entries logged through the Log4Net AdoNetAppender to an Oracle database.
• The SqlServer provider has been extended with the possibility to customize the name of the standard columns (id, data, logger, level etc). This functionality is also implemented in the new Oracle provider.
• Several improvements in the TextFileProvider, the provider is more robust to changes to a folder containing log files, especially when adding and removing files from the folder, and if parts of log files is deleted.
• Bug fixes
