Need A Suggestion For A Log Reader To Read

[bcp1961]

Hi,

I need a suggestion for a log reader so that I can have access to my raw access logs. I did a google search for a log reader, but am totally confused as to what I need. When I download the raw access log from my site it is in an MS-DOS format - Any help would be appreciated, I really need to start having access to my raw access log files.

Thanks

The old time standard is Analog. I would also recommend adding Report Magic.

The logs are in hex format. You will need a good access log program.

 

Run a google search for Raw Access Log Viewer.

 

Should give you plenty of results.

Doing a search for a log viewer was an exercise in frustration for me, since I really didn't know what specifically I was looking for. For instance most of the search brought up many viewers for firewalls and routers...? Maybe that's what I needed but it didn't sound like it! Anyway - I finally found one that seems to do the trick and in case anyone else finds they need one this may save them some time: ( btw- this is freeware)

Unix Log Viewer - shareware

Files from Unix systems, such as access log files do not

have a CR+LF, they just have a CR. This utility exchanges

the CR with a CR+LF. Placed on the WinNT desktop, a file

can be pulled over the icon. The file is opened and displayed.

The converted file can be saved with a save dialog.

No registry changes are made.
