Tools to help with analysing log files
- by peter
I am developing a C# .NET application. In the app.config file I add trace logging as shown,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true" />
<sources>
<source name="System.Net.Sockets" maxdatasize="1024">
<listeners>
<add name="MyTraceFile"/>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add
name="MyTraceFile"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="System.Net.trace.log"
/>
</sharedListeners>
<switches>
<add name="System.Net" value="Verbose" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
Are there any good tools around to analyse the log file that is output? The output looks like this,

Is there anything that can take the output shown above (my output is a text file 100mb in size), group together packets, and help out with finding particular issues I would like to hear about it.
Thanks.
