Quickly remove Clutter from vRO Logs

Scenario

vRO provides great bit of logs out-of-the-box, but the problem is, it’s not aesthetically pleasing. Frankly, these long trials of data and time [2022-03-14 02:33:03.144 -04:00INFO] annoys me a lot. So, just like me, If you don’t want that annoyance or you want to show these logs to someone in most tidiest way, or maybe you want to preserve an action/execution, then probably you are at the right place. Let’s see how I do it.

I think the simplest way would be to find a Regex that removes it all in one go.

Solution

• After execution of a workflow or action, copy the logs and open Notepad++.
• Press CTRL + H. It will open Replace Tab.

• In Find what field copy the below mentioned RegEx and In Search Mode , enable Regular Expression and tick Wrap around.

for workflows

.+?(?=:)+.+?(?=:)+.+?(?=:)+:(00|30)+(INFO|WARNING|DEBUG|ERROR)

OR

for actions

.+?(?=:)+.+?(?=:)+.+?(?=:)+:(00|30)+(INFO|WARNING|DEBUG|ERROR)+([^)]+)\)+( +?|\t)(?=(([^"]*"){2})*[^"]*$)

• Click Replace All.

That’s it.
