I've been playing around with a couple of combat log parsers as of late in an attempt to better understand some of the Naxx encounters, but I have yet to find one that actually offers up the desired information in a manageable manner. I've seen Gurg mention stuff concerning combat log analysis, and was wondering if one of you guys could point me in the right direction of something remotely useful in terms of combat log parsers.

Really, the best thing out there is a text editor, like Notepad or Textpad - set it so that each line is on its own line.

If you want to search for specific things, use the search function. I'm hesitant to use any pre-built parser, as I like to see everything.

One useful little tool is grep, which will take a regular expression(pattern) and match it, displaying only the lines that match it.

I knocked up a web based one a few months ago at: http://xtsl.net/php/grep.php (Its basic and very very simple).

If you want to steal the code to host it elsewhere/improve(an easy task) upon it, its at: http://xtsl.net/php/grep.phps

It's quite possibly the nicest thing to happen to combat logging in a while, at least from the point of view of tearing stuff apart to build meaningful alerts.

You can also go play with bigwigs/ora (as I have been for some time in place of CTRA) but that's up to you.

Ive been using ora for a while, and I really do like it quite a lot.
