Is it possible to change the size of the Date, Host and Syslogtag colum? I tried out the new v2.3 and for most, the message column is the same or small than my Host or Syslogtag column. Was wondering if there is a way to make those column smaller so I would actually get more for the Message column.

• Custom phpLogCon configuration?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

Oh, that's a good idea. The view definition for a column could simply have width argument which, if provided, is copied over to the corresponding html entity.

Actually you can specify the width of each field within the file include/constants_logstream.php.
You will find a $fields[<<FIELDNAME>>]['DefaultWidth'] entry for each field which specifies the default width in pixels.

There, you can modify the field width for now.

I tried to modify the constants_logstream.php but it does not work. The setting there doesn't force the column size. I tried change on bot the HOST and SYSLOGTAG but it made no difference.

It would be cool if the hostname/syslog field would take the default column width and wrap the text if it is longer than the set width just like the message column.

The problem is that the syslogtags may need to be truncated, so the column width is not extended.
The next minor update of the devel branch will contain a new configuration variable "ViewStringCharacterLimit" which will enabled you to truncate all string type values like the syslogtag, and avoid this problem once and for all
