Log Parser is great tool for parsing log files. I can parse not just IIS log files but also custom log files with it.

For example I can use SQL syntax to parse logs:

C:\>LogParser "SELECT TimeGenerated, SourceName, 
EventCategoryName, Message INTO report.txt FROM Security WHERE 
EventID = 528 AND SID LIKE '%TESTUSER%'" -resolveSIDs:ON

Is there any tool like that for linux?

Thanks.

lnav supports SQL queries and supports most of the common Linux log formats. Look at the project's website and documentation page for more details and screenshots.

Maybe you'll take a look at multitail?

When it comes to text based logs grep is your friend—it can do pretty much the same what SQL-like syntax in your example.

have you tired tail command ?

tail -f /path/to/log/file/log

if you prefer a log viewer with GUI, Have a look at Gnome Log Viewer
