reading logs

[Rafal_Paczynski]

Hello,

I have question related to reading logs from Project Server.
Currently I am using one program to reading logs as WordPad is rather not
good enough. I am using SMS Trace - maybe not perfect but easy to see where
is error is in the log.
Problem with this software is that can't handle most of so huge logs as we
have on Project Server.
Do any of you have any good program to reading logs on Project Servers?

Thank you for suggestion

I usally just copy the log as a text file and paste it into Excel.
Then I can use Excel's search functions to find what I want. In the
past, i've also used the excellent textpad (http://www.textpad.com/
products/textpad/index.html).

Mark,

I think you can open the file directly from Excel and then use text to
columns instead of cutting and pasting.

I usually use GREP when I want to filter large text files.

Hi,


What I am doing now is using SMS Trace to read logs. It is part of SMS
Toolkit 2.
That tools is very good you can easly see lines marked at yellow or red when
is an error. The problem is sometimes it can't handle big logs from Project
Server.
So what I am looking is similar tool when you can very easly see where an
error occour.
For now to open biger logs I will try to use excell to see how it looks
like, but if you know any good tool please share information
