I need to scrub a sw diagnostics file. What do you guys use?

scrub? Like analyze or delete? Notepad++ is always a favorite if you can install software or on a route-able network to your pollers and can access them, else its just notepad.

If you have the budget I'd highly recommend a centralized log source (SolarWinds sells one). Humio has a free option (community edition) for "Ingest up to 16GB per day, 7-day retention". Then you can search all your logs in one place for all your servers.

Forgot about the newer tool that SW released that combs the logs files for things. Orion Insights.

Sorry, I need to delete/mask hostnames, IPs, etc.

Tagging myself into this thread as we have quite a few clients that don't like aspects like Hostnames, IP's etc getting out - but of course to do any meaningful diagnostics support always ask for diags.

Notepad++ is a starter, but it doesn't guarantee I'll remember to 'adjust' everything.

Would be real nice if SolarWInds offered a default anonymiser for diagnostic files.

I hear you from a compliance/security perspective. Personal aside If you have access to login to get the logs you have far bigger issues than someone getting intel from log files, I'd push back.
