The L4NDash SDK enables you to extend L4NDash in two areas:

• You can write your own data providers, this will enable the L4NDash application to use log rows/log events from almost any kind of log storage and in any kind of format, or maybe more interesting for you, the format and log storage that you use.
• You can write your own visualizers, visualizers is responsible for formatting/preparing a single column value before it is rendered on into a web page. For example if you have a custom column that contain an xml structure, you can write a visualizer to format the xml structure.

To write your own providers you need to download the L4NDash SDK. The SDK provides you with:

• Documentation about how to write providers.
• Source code for the default providers that is distributed as a part of L4NDash.
• Help file that documents the L4NDash core library.
• XML files that provide you with IntelliSense for the L4NDash core library.

• Download the SDK.
• Create a new folder on your hard disk, for example C:\L4NDashSDK.
• Unzip the zip file to the folder you created.
• Read trough the introduction document (Using the L4NDash SDK.doc).
