The proposal is to provide a dedicated console for the Vision Automator service that displays log activity in real time, rather than requiring administrators to manually open and refresh raw log files.
A key feature would be an auto-scroll option. When enabled, the console would automatically follow the latest log entries so users can monitor current processing as it happens. When disabled, users could remain focused on a specific section of the log — for example, while reviewing a failure or warning — without the view constantly jumping to the newest entry.
In addition, the console would be more valuable if it supported:
Access to historical logs, including previous days’ activity
Event categorization, such as processing events, warnings, errors, new file detection, cleanup activities, defrags, and similar event types
Filtering capabilities, similar to Windows Event Viewer, so users can quickly isolate and review specific types of events
A single interface to review and navigate saved logs more efficiently, instead of relying on Notepad or similar text editors
Overall, the objective is to improve monitoring, troubleshooting, and operational efficiency by replacing manual raw-log review with a more structured, searchable, and user-friendly console experience.
