Here are some screenshots to show you some of the features of LogExpert. LogExpert is not only a simple windows tail program. The main focus is log file content filtering, searching and fast navigation.

At work I often have to view two or more log files for of application side-by-side (e.g. a main log and a verbose debug log, or a server log and a client log). LogExpert helps me alot, because it can parse the timestamps of the log files. So scrolling all open log files to the same time position is done by a simple mouse click. If server and client log files doesn't match exactly because of different system clocks, there's no problem. You can add/substract an offset to the displayed timestamp values.

Note the 'Filter to Tab' Button. You can 'launch' new filter tab windows from within the filter view. Every launched filter tab rembers its filter parameters and will automatically update its content as soon as new incoming log file content matches the filter. Of course you can filter the content of a filter tab anew with another filter. Btw: The filter tab window keeps track of the original position of the filtered content. You can always jump to the appropriate position in the original window.
