LogMirror brings live log monitoring directly into Visual Studio, helping you debug applications without constantly switching to another window or external log viewer.

Monitor multiple files simultaneously in a dedicated tool window, with clear source prefixes and automatic recovery when files are created, deleted, truncated, replaced, locked, or rotated.

Features

  • Monitor multiple log files in real time
  • Highlight entries using Regex, Starts With, or Contains rules
  • Configure colors, font styles, and rule priorities
  • Automatically reconnect to missing, replaced, or rotated files
  • Classify multiline log entries under the correct source
  • Control monitoring, wrapping, scrolling, clearing, and Copy All from the toolbar
  • Configure behavior through Tools > Options > LogMirror
  • Preserve native Visual Studio selection, copying, searching, zoom, DPI, and accessibility behavior
  • Limit initial reads, displayed lines, memory usage, and exceptionally long lines
  • Enable optional diagnostic output when troubleshooting

LogMirror is designed to provide a responsive, resilient log-viewing experience while keeping your development workflow inside Visual Studio.
