Text Log Monitor provides Systems Administrators the ability to monitor, filter, alert, archive, schedule web and email reports and tail critical operating system and application logs. Supports both delimited and non-delimited text log files. Delimited files follow a specific format enabling programmatic parsing over multiple lines, for example, syslog files. Delimited files are read line by line until the next entry delimiter is reached. Once reached, all lines are concatenated together to form an entry. Non-delimited files do not follow any specific format making programmatic parsing impossible, for example, NTBackup log files. Non-delimited log files are read and filtered line by line. Many applications create log files using a random or a date driven naming mechanism, for example, IIS logs. Text Log Monitor enables you to monitor files within a directory that match user defined file name masks such as *.txt and *.log. When a new file is detected, Text Log Monitor automatically starts monitoring the file contents. Text Log Monitorâ??s powerful filtering searches through text logs allowing you to pinpoint critical entries using simple or complex regular expression driven filters. Sarbanes-Oxley may require your organization archive critical text log files for future reference and accountability. Text Log Monitor will archive your logs in their entirety or as a sub-set to a central SQL Server or MySQL database as well as to CSV, HTML, TXT or XML files. Trigger actions such as fully customizable email, export to file, message box, sound, write to database, write to event log, forward to syslog, system tray message or SMS notification. Create scheduled web and mail reports that contain specific entries, for example, receive a daily email that contains a list of all new â??File Not Foundâ?? entries in your IIS log. The user interface enables users to view, filter and tail large text files replacing popular command-line text file parsing tools.
