Extracts valuable information from the morass of log messages

With powerful options like ignore or fixed to filter messages one can focus on what needs attention. The PRO version summary is very helpful. A suggested enhancement to make the monitor more reada

Good plugin, it used to be much better before the nerfing, tho

It is a good plugin for your average needs. It used to be much better in the past, but they removed features in the free version that other similar plugins still offer for free.
