Patch

Hello,
LogViewer is a nice feature to see easily logs without opening jmeter.log.
Unfortunately, as it is disabled by default, it does not receive log events.
It only does when opened, which requires user to enable it then replay what lead to this error. 

This feature enables LogViewer to receive events even if closed.
It can be controlled by property:
jmeter.loggerpanel.enable_when_closed

But we propose to enable it by default (so changes.xml section needs to mention it) and user can disable it by setting property to false.

The patch we propose also adds a Hand cusor on the Warning Icon to show user it is a clickable element.

As usual, as we signed a CCLA, all rights of this code belong to Apache.

Regards
Ubik Load Pack team

One reason why it is not enabled by default is that it takes up additional memory. This can be quite considerable if debug is enabled.

Hello,
Yes but there is a built-in protection with property:
jmeter.loggerpanel.maxlength


Being big users of JMeter as long as our customers, we feel it would be great to have this enabled.
It's like in Eclipse, Console receives events even if closed.
