this seems to be a reoccurring issue:
we receive a bug report for our software and with it tons of traces or logfiles.
since finding errors is much easier when having a visualization of the log messages/events over time it is convenient to use a tool that can display the progression of events in a graph etc.
(e.g. wireshark (http://www.wireshark.org) for analyzing network traffic)
what tool do you use for such a purpose?
the problem with most tools i used so far is that they mercilessly break down when you feed them huge data traces (> 1GB) so some criteria for such a tool would be:
- can deal with huge input files (> 1 GB)
- is really fast (so you don't have to get coffee while a file is loading)
- has some sort of filtering mechanism
