Tool to parse Serv-U log files

We are looking to see if SolarWinds has a tool available that can parse the Serv-U log files into a tabular, user friendly format that can easily distinguish information for sessions like userid, protocol used, source IP address, etc. Looking at the format, should be possible, though time consuming, to develop something. Anyone happen to have put something together for that purpose?

  • I load each flat text daily log file and use MSSQL* to parse & search; so for instance if seeking a particular IP or Vendor user ID, I do an inner query to find the ID, (nnnnnnn) value and then get any rows matching that ID, HOWEVER the ID repeats so another limiter is needed to ensure that only relevant rows are returned; an easy one is to parse the time date from the same log value string and say w/in n minuites

    *MSSQL, using a read folder to first parse the file name which contains a "day" date, then as noted above search for some part of the log string.
