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.
