Log Parser 2.2
It's OUT !!!!! finally, after a long time. It was due last year, but then some 'non-technical' issues hinder its release. Anyway, it's out now with tons of brand new features. You won't believe how capable this tiny application can do :) Here's the overiew from MS download page.
“Log parser is a powerful, versatile tool that provides universal query access to text-based data such as log files, XML files and CSV files, as well as key data sources on the Windows® operating system such as the Event Log, the Registry, the file system, and Active Directory®. You tell Log Parser what information you need and how you want it processed. The results of your query can be custom-formatted in text based output, or they can be persisted to more specialty targets like SQL, SYSLOG, or a chart.
Most software is designed to accomplish a limited numer of specific tasks. Log Parser is different... the number of ways it can be used is limited only by the needs and imagination of the user. The world is your database with Log Parser.”
Get it here ! Also, remember the last publication project I'm working on ? well, with the release - the book should be out soon. Be sure to get one yourself, I did the IIS section, but log parser is not just about IIS :) there's lot more you can do with log parser. For example, it support SYSLOG analysis, cool office chart output, firewall, IDS log files analysis as well.
