Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(LogEntryMatcher.InitializationContext context)
         throws IOException

Called on the loggable component side (server) before starting to traverse the log file.

Throws:

IOException

entries

List<LogEntry> entries()

Returns all the relevant entries this matcher accumulated.

Note, for ease of use in implementing the matcher, the entries are assumed to be from newest to oldest (if the matcher value order).

match

LogEntryMatcher.Operation match(LogEntry entry)

Controls if the traversal of the log file should continue, or break. If it should break, then all the entries() accumulated will be returned.
