I would like to analyze tomcat logs for potential issues. I found one here web-log-analyzer. I would like to know if similar tools exists.

Wanted features.

  • Open source or freeware
  • Find response times (min/max/avg), most used URL
  • easy installation
  • active community
  • help files

Not necessary but nice to have

  • scriptable
  • Ability to issue SQL queries like Microsoft Log Parser (this on)
  • Cross platform

You can use Splunk, in which you can centralize all logs you have, you can then perform crossed search. It's a freeware, a bit heavy but awesome.

You can also use Lambda Probe, but it's more for global managment, not especifically for logs.
