Setting up a log parser plug-in project
Before you can create a log parser, you must create the plug-in project.
Creating the plug-in project
- In the Navigator view, right-click and select
New > Project. The New Project wizard opens.
- Select Plug-in Project from the Plug-in Development folder and click Next.
- On the New Plug-in Project page, type the project name and select the directory where the project contents will be stored. Under Project Settings, select the Create Java Project check box. Specify the name you want to use for the different components of your project. Click Next. The Plug-in Content page opens.
- On the Plug-in Content page, Specify a value for Provider Name. Uncheck This plug-in will make contributions to the UI check box under Plug-in Class. Change the other default
values as required. Click Finish. The plug-in project
is created. (You will be asked to switch to the plug-in perspective.)
The next step in creating a log parser is to create an adapter configuration file.
There are two types of adapters that can be created; rule-based adapters
and static parser adapters.
