Your first Log Parser Lizard query

A short path from installation to a useful result. Start with a familiar file, run a broad query, then narrow it down.

1. Install and open the application

Download Log Parser Lizard from the official page, complete the Windows installation and start the application. The current edition is completely free.

2. Choose a data source

Start with a small IIS, CSV, JSON, XML or text file whose content you already understand.

3. Run a broad first query

SELECT TOP 100 *
FROM 'C:\Logs\example.log';

4. Filter the result

SELECT TOP 100 *
FROM 'C:\Logs\example.log'
WHERE status >= 400
ORDER BY time_taken DESC;

5. Explore and export

Use the result grid to sort, group, filter and summarize returned rows. Export the useful subset when you need supporting evidence.
