🚀 Getting Started

Installation

4. Click Install

Configuration

Configure the extension to locate your WinCC OA log directory.

⚙️ Settings

Recommended Configuration

Static Path (recommended for single projects):

{
  "winccoaLogviewer.logPathSource": "static",
  "winccoaLogviewer.staticLogPath": "C:\\WinCC_OA\\MyProject\\log"
}

Workspace (auto-detect from workspace):

{
  "winccoaLogviewer.logPathSource": "workspace"
}

The extension will look for a log folder in your workspace root directory.

📋 Usage

Open LogViewer

1. Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Run command: WinCC OA: Open LogViewer
3. The LogViewer opens in a new editor column and starts watching the configured log directory

From Other Extensions

vscode.commands.executeCommand('winccoa-logviewer.open', logPath);

How It Works

The LogViewer watches the specified log directory and monitors all .log files. When changes are detected (new log entries), they are automatically displayed in the webview interface. You can pause/resume the live stream at any time.
