SERVIIO CONSOLE HIGH SIERRA SOFTWARE
If your software is able to write Signposts too, it would take little work in Numbers or Excel to analyse your data for performance purposes. You can now, for example, capture an excerpt of the log on High Sierra which contains all Signposts, show only those Signposts in the display, and export then in CSV format ready to import into your favourite spreadsheet.įrom that, I exported the Signposts (only) in CSV format, imported them into Numbers, and after tidying up the spreadsheet you can see that some components of High Sierra are still instrumented quite heavily with Signposts. I have therefore added support for the new -signpost command option which presents Signposts in log excerpts, and simple checkboxes to control which types of log message are displayed and exported in CSV format. Furthermore, if you browse logs captured from High Sierra on a Sierra system, you will be unable to access values for any of those new keys.

Unfortunately, the unified log and log command in Sierra do not support them (apart from eventType, which appears to have limited support), so this cannot bring Signposts or any of the other new log features to Sierra. To view these, you will need to run Consolation on High Sierra 10.13.5 or later, or Mojave. Signposts are assigned performance_instrumentation, and Activities an empty string.

I am delighted to offer a new beta-release of my free log browser, Consolation, which goes far beyond anything you’re likely to see in Apple’s frail and feeble Console.
