I use a plugin called Grep Console in my JetBrains Rider IDE. It lets you auto highlight, color, or play a sound when certain regular expressions are found in the log output. So I set it to play an 8-bit sounding “thump” sound whenever it sees an [ERR] in the log output to hear any handled, but logged, errors. I also set up other sounds for specific things I’m looking for so I know when they’ve occurred (sirens, ahooga horns, sproings). It’s a great help, along with color coding, to find things in a long log file when verbose logging is turned on.
