PHP Log Viewer

A VS Code extension for browsing and analysing PHP application log files (Laravel, Yii2) directly inside the editor.

Features

Automatic discovery — scans the workspace for log files matching configurable glob patterns.
Framework detection — recognises Laravel ([stacktrace]) and Yii2 (Stack trace:) formats automatically.
Activity bar panel — lists discovered log files grouped by modification date (Today / Yesterday / date).
Log viewer webview — opens a rich table with per-entry level badges, timestamps, channels, messages, collapsible stack traces with clickable file links, and JSON context.
Filtering — filter log entries by log level or free-text search across messages.
Pagination — large files are rendered 200 entries per page for fast opening.
Live tail — watch a log file in real time; new entries are prepended automatically.
Stack frame filtering — hide noisy third-party frames from stack traces using configurable path patterns. Toggle on/off directly in the toolbar without losing your settings.
Clear logs — truncate a single file or all discovered files from the tree view.
Path mappings — map container/remote paths to local paths so file links in stack traces open the correct local file.
