## Overview

This was written to parse logs for tools that write out logs with Log4Net.

Learn more at [log4net](https://logging.apache.org/log4net/)

Note: My use of Log4Net is limited and most the regex for different pattern

names are a complete guess by me. If you are familiar with these, please file

an issue or make a PR.

## Documentation

## Installation

```powershell

Install-Module Log4NetParse

```

## Examples

```powershell

Import-Module Log4NetParse

# Find a regex for your pattern (i.e., useful for use in other tools)

Convert-PatternLayout -PatternLayout '%timestamp [%thread] %level %logger %ndc - %message%newline'

# Parse a log and get set of objects

Read-Log4NetLog -Path 'current.log'

```

The `Read-Log4NetLog` cmdlet will return an object for each thread it finds in a

file. This can be helpful when trying to find the log lines for a particular

execution. This makes it easier to filter on things like start/end time, and

log level.
