best tool for searching within unstructured log files [closed]
- by Alex Holding
i am supporting a number of bespoke applications at the minute and searching through their very non standard logs is a nightmare, so im looking for a tool which can do the following -
load large text files
search through multiple files at once and display all results
can search with regex
can be used to view and search unstructured text files
There are some great looking log tools available but they all seem to be focused on structured logs, where the logs i deal with most days are just flat text files.
I am currently using notepad++ but that has its own annoyances so im hoping there is a dedicated log analysis tool that i havent found yet.
