SpectX Log Parser & Analyzer

SpectX is a log analyzer for incident investigation and data exploration. It creates virtual structured views from text-based log files, reading and parsing data from its current file storage. Analysts can instantly dig into large volumes of raw log files/blobs stored in local file servers or cloud storages.  Even if the data is difficult to machine-read or has volatile structure, SpectX makes it easy to parse, enrich and join results from multiple sources. A single-user desktop edition of SpectX is free of charge and can be downloaded here.

Run Any Query via API

In addition to the browser-based interface, every query can be easily executed via the RESTful API. This opens the doors to flexible query automation and enterprise application integration.
