Manage logfiles with this application. LogDistiller is a log files merge and sort tool. It reads log files, parses them into structured log events with attributes, then classify them according rules configured in an XML file. Classification results go into reports, published according to the rules configuration: simply stored in a file, sent by mail, or even added in a news feed.

LogDistiller started with a simple observation concerning error log files: in real life, a single problem can produce a lot of traces. Even if some problems are perfectly identified, you rapidly get submerged by their traces and are unable to find your way between known and unknown traces. That leads to a common situation where error log files are simply ignored.

The purpose of LogDistiller is to continue to find useful information in error log files, by extracting known traces to let you concentrate on unknown ones. Each time you find similar traces indicating a specific new problem, you write a pattern matching these traces. Next time, LogDistiller will extract and count them from log files: you can now concentrate on other unknown traces.

Of course, nothing limits LogDistiller's usage to error-only log files: pattern recognition in traces can be applied to any sort of log files. You just need to know what traces you want to group (and a parser adapted to your log type must exist, of course).
