v-watch v2.0: Smart Log Watcher with Glob & Auto-Discovery

Logs are rarely static. They rotate, roll over, and change names daily (e.g., server.log.1, server_20260713.log). v-watch v2.0 is designed to handle these dynamic environments without any manual re-configuration.

New Automation Features

#

• Wildcard/Glob Support: Use patterns like app_*.log. The tool scans the directory and finds the relevant files automatically.
• Latest File Detection: Every few seconds, v-watch re-scans the folder and identifies the “Latest” file based on its Last Modified timestamp.
• Anti-Duplicate History: Uses history.dat to track processed filenames. Once a log file is retired, v-archive remembers it to prevent re-triggering old alerts.
• Seamless Rotation Handling: When a log rotates, the tool detects the new file instantly and shifts its focus, ensuring continuous monitoring without missing a single line.

How to Use

#

1. Define your file pattern (e.g., ./logs/*.log) and keywords in tasks.txt.
2. Run v-watch.exe.
3. It will always track the freshest log and save matches to alerts.log.
