Greetings all,
I need to parse, and analyse a large volume of windows event logs (vista/Win7 only).
Can anyone recommend some software? I'm playing with Windows Log Parser, but I'd like a GUI, I don't have the time to blow the dust of my SQL books.
Thanks in advance.
Try this

Despite the name, they do claim support for Win7.
Also, I've messed about with this one
http//
BUT - I haven't had an update as to whether they officially support Win7 yet or not. They do support vista and 2k8, so Win7 should work - I have not tested that though.
When you say "parse", do you mean "present in a sensible manner", or do you mean "search for xxxx"?
Because the Vista/Win7 event viewer is actually pretty good at that sort of thing, believe it or not.
(Although I'm sure you've tried it already 😉 )
Also, you can use something like this
http//
Also, with MyEventViewer you can easily select multiple event items and then save them to HTML/Text/XML file, or copy them to the clipboard (Ctrl+C) and then paste them into Excel.
and then anlyze the resulting "human readable" output with your own written tools/scripts.
