Software to help in log analysis?

Question

Hey guys, I have a quick question.

Does anyone know of any software that can help with understanding client-server logs?

I have 3 huge logs of 1 server & 2 clients that are time stamped, but only if I could arrange all 3 of them in a UI side by side in a chronological order, it would be so easy for me to understand them.

Thanks for any tips on such a software. (Or maybe some ideas to help me with this.)3

Edit: the mockup image has blue line partitions to separate out time in milliseconds. That is just for visualization.

Answer 1

You didn't say what platform but Microsoft Log Parser is something that can be useful. Here are some samples.

Answer 2

Google BigQuery is a helpful tool for analyzing massive datasets, including logs. It doesn't give you a UI, but it does provide a SQL-like language for making queries over the logs.
