Hi everyone,
I am looking for an application (preferably free/open source) that can filter and highlight lines in text or log files to speed up server status checks. The file extensions that are primarily used are .txt and .log.
The functionality I require are:
- Highlight lines of text based on keywords in multiple instances. So lines with keywords like "WARNING" can be rendered red, while lines with "INFO" can be rendered blue.
- Filter lines of text; remove lines containing specific keywords or characters.
- It should have a GUI.
- Above filters can be saved as a preset of some kind.
Currently I am using Notepad++ to find and remove lines using a macro and coloring text by using a user defined programming language. But since some log files are pretty versatile and making macro's/languages in notepad++ for different kinds of log files is painstaking work this is soon no longer an option. One update and a log may be output differently.
The applications that I have found can only highlight one search criteria at a time and the way the filtering is done is usually ridiculous.
Does anyone know which application accommodates my needs?
Thanks in advance!
What kind of logs are you trying to parse?
[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;42241753]What kind of logs are you trying to parse?[/QUOTE]
Any log that has been output to a .txt or .log file.
There are a lot of different kinds of logs and a lot of them have parsers. Take for example [url=GoAccess.prosoftcorp.com]GoAccess[/url]. It parses apache/nginx access logs
