ECSProcessTree - A tool to help you read ElastiCube build logs

Sisense ElastiCube Server saves the last 10 build logs for each ElastiCube in the following directory:

C:\ProgramData\Sisense\PrismServer\ElastiCubeProcessLogs

When would I use this tool?

In cases when you want to analyze a build log but Notepad++ just doesn't cut it.
In cases when you want to compare two builds. Classic cases such as comparing initialization times, build increments between different versions, etc.

Thanks Kobbi! This is so much better than Notepad++.

Shawn I believe this only works on EC build logs did you by chance try it on something else?

Hi Shawn,

Opening the log, it looks like there's some type of corruption with the log writing that is causing the application to crash:

What version of Sisense are you running?

Does the reader work for other ElastiCube logs? If you lower the build log verbosity level, is it able to open it?

I'm on 7.0.1.

The reader does open other logs, but when my builds fail, I usually get a log like this that can't be opened.
I'm not sure about changing the logging verbosity, I'll remember to try that next time something fails.
