Log Parser is a free tool from Microsoft that lets you run SQL-like queries from the command-line or through a COM interface … against all sorts of data sources like IIS logs, System Event logs, the windows file system, etc. And what’s more, you can output the results to anything from XML and HTML to SQL tables or CSV files.
The reason I’m mentioning it again after all this time is that Mike Gunderloy of LarkWare has decided to create an unofficial support site to try and help users share queries and more.
So, go on, surf over to LogParser.com or check out the Security Focus or TechRepublic articles about it to convince yourself first. This thing it’s pretty cool!
