Advanced Features

Log Parser offers a unique set of features that enhance its flexibility in the most common log processing scenarios.
These features include:

• Parsing Input Incrementally: some input formats allow Log Parser to parse incrementally logs that grow over time.
• Multiplexing Output Records: some output formats allow the output records of a query to be written to different targets, depending on the values of selected output record fields.
• Converting File Formats: due to its architecture, Log Parser can be easily used to convert log files from a format to another.
• Custom Plugins: Log Parser allows users to develop their own custom input formats, and use them with either the Log Parser command-line executable, or with the Log Parser scriptable COM components.
