Efficient way to analyze Salesforce Debug log
Salesforce is one of the top CRM tool in the market currently. Thanks to the out of the box features and powerful tools inbuilt it is poised to continue being the top performers in the SAAS domain.
Apart from the inbuilt ecosystem, Salesforce provides good development platform for developers to write custom code. This allows them to build anything they think of, imagination is the only limit.
Thanks to this Developer friendly ecosystem, there are many awesome reusable custom designed components people have developed in Salesforce. Making the platform more robust and popular.
As someone rightly said
“With great power comes great responsibility”
To make sure the code developed is defect free and errorless, there should be a powerful log tracking and analysis tool. Though Salesforce provides the ability to capture and save logs, it lacks few important features like:
Log Readability
Meaningful Labelling
Smart Filtering
Quick Component Reference
To overcome these limitation and make Salesforce Log Analysis more efficient, there is a tool developed by the community called TheLogmachine (www.thelogmachine.com).


What is LogMachine?
LogMachine is a Salesforce debugging tool available as a Chrome Plugin and a Web App. It help in analyzing the log efficiently by highlighting key important sections in the log and also giving help tips to avoid error.
It’s available in two flavors’:
Text Box: WebApp (beta)Text Box: Chrome Plugin                                              
Both of them have the same core framework, the webapp is lightweight and fast thanks to Ajax response and simplified DOM.
Some of the top features of this tool, but not limited to, are:
Readability
Text Box: The font selection for highlighting the tool makes it clearly visibly and easily differentiable from surrounding areas. Important sections are made bold to bring it out loud.

Time Saver
Text Box: The filtering mechanism makes it easy to filter required logs quickly, without having to scroll through the long log. The response it pretty quick and instant.







UX-Centered
Text Box: Its UX is designed keeping in mind the Color combination that suits the most of the Programming languages, like RED for Errors, WHITE for User Debugs, BLUE for Variable Assignments.
