As logs are written in free format, XpoLog uses its built-in mechanism to guess the structure of the log, also called a pattern. For example, Xpolog guesses which is the date field, the time field, and more, parses the data, and then adds the log records as bulk. Users can normalize or tune the results of parsing. For example, if the results of parsing data is a log with columns Date, Text2, and Text3, the user can open the log under Folders and Logs, and click the log to open it and tune the parsing results. For example, Text2 column heading can be changed to Host, and Text3 column heading to Server Name. Next time you add a log of a similar type to the one that you edited, it uses the last structure that you applied to the new log.  User must define the Basic Info and Log Type Settings of each log type that is added to XpoLlog . Can also tag it to an application.
