Export and Filter event log tools?

[Joe User 99]

I am in need of a tool to filter and then export a 2003 server application event log.

Anything that works, as long as it is free. :D

Commandline method, freeware tool, etc.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Just use the Event Viewer, filter whatever you want, and then export it. Works like a charm :)

If you want, you can even open it in Excel or any other app that can handle Tab/Comma delimited text (Y)

Yeah, done that.

But I'm not the one who's going to be doing it regularly. It's going to be a manager, so

I kinda need something that I can set up to be simple and easy for them.

Also, something that I could automate for them if possible.

Something like a commandline would be great, if it's possible.

I'm still digging.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Wow...looks promising.

And it led me to this KB article:

HOW TO: Use the Event Query Script Tool (Eventquery.pl) in Microsoft Windows 2000

Which I think will work out nicely.

Or the VBS version:

Eventquery

Thanks for the help.
