Session Logging

[toloughlin]

I know I've mentioned this before, but it's really killing me now.
I log all sessions (for commands, procedure etc) - and have ANSI colors on. The logs capture the ANSI color codes.

I can't easily use the logs because of what I have to sift through to get what I need.

For example -- "hmm, which files were in this directory before I started my maintenance ... let me look at the logs." The attachment is what I see in the logged session.

Help?

Hi Tom,

It looks like raw logging is enabled, and raw logging does capture all data sent by the remote, including escape characters (ANSI color, and terminal control codes) not normally visible on screen.

Normal logging captures data line by line (so, data is logged after a carriage return). If you disable Raw log in Session Options / Terminal / Log File, do you see only the output you're wanting, and all of the output you're wanting?

Oh man, I feel like such a n00b with that one. All set. Thanks!

Would be nice to add a hotkey for logging.

I have submitted a Feature Request

Hi 1ne,

Yes, your request was received and responded to via e-mail. Now that I see the thread you posted in I am not sure if you are talking about raw logging or not.

Is your request for the ability to map a key to perform raw logging?

I have added the information to map a key or button for "ad hoc" logging (File / Log Session) for other forum users benefit.

You can map a key or button to "log session" using the following information:

1. Press the Map a Key... button in the Terminal / Emulation / Mapped Keys category of the Session Options dialog.
2. Press the key (or keys) to map.
3. In the Action section of the Map Selected Key dialog, select Menu Function from the Function dropdown menu.
4. The dropdown menu to the right will become Menu Function. Select MENU_LOG_SESSION.

Buttons can be mapped by enabling the button bar (View menu), then "right-clicking" in the button bar space to create the button. Then follow steps 3 and 4 above.
