Console / Dashboard for Vision Automator Health

Systems Admin, and Intellimagic Admin.

It would be great if the windows components that comprise the vision automator would come packaged with a 'console'.  Currently when I want to check status of activities, I need to open my current days log file and scroll to the bottom to see what is currently happening.  If I want to refresh the view, I need to close it and re-open over and over.

Notepad++ provides some capability to stream the data in, but it becomes flooded too quickly to see what is happening.

If the Automator had a console, this could allow us to page through the log in a controlled manner.

Additional value added features would be the ability to look at previous days logs in the tool as well.  Also to filter the log by specific event types (new file found, cleanup, defrags, etc.)
