Various issues in Log display

Asked by Alan McFarlane

At /index.php?p=log

1) Client name is not displayed in the table. So if I've messages from multiple clients I have to change the Display drop-down multiple times so that I can find which client each of the various messages comes from.

2) I suggest "Seconds back" units be minutes and not seconds. I can't imagine when one would want to be looking back in the log just for a number of seconds. "1" for one minute would seem much more useable. And instead of a default period of 2 minutes I'd prefer 2 hours, or even 12 hours.

3) If a client name is alphabetically before "All" it is preselected and thus only it's (e.g. zero) rows are displayed by default. e.g. my PC is "ALANPC2" and thus I have to manually select Display: "All" whenever I visit log view.

4) Empty values in Page and Function drop-downs. What means empty values in those items? Are they equivalent to "All" or do they just occur when there's an blank value in the data? Selecting them seems to act like the former.

(From 1.4 and 1.6 servers. Can't check if #3 is present in 1.6.)

1. Created bug
2. We would need to have an option here as this is really down to opinion (for example larger networks want a lower limit pre-set and then want to work backwards). Created a wishlist bug for it.
3. Fixed in 1.7 already (all is always the default)
4. Empty values are mostly from legacy code that is being slowly replaced. We hope to have all page/function filled in going forwards. Notable exceptions to this are critical error messages which are caught by the PHP error handler (we don't know where these originate, but they do contain a stack trace)

Can you help with this problem?
