Similar Tools:

•	Apache Log Filter - http://www.logfilter.org/

This is a very nice open source alternative. It's a commandline program written in C, and has a much simpler invocation method. It doesn't use scripts but a straightforward commandline parameter interface. Definitely worth a look.

•	FLog - http://www.uguardian.us/index.php?page=/software/flog

Commandline tool for doing grep-like stuff on apache log files.

A more flexible approach for real coders would be to use a perl (or python) apache parsing library to parse log files and use the native language scripting to do exactly what you want with the log file data. Indeed this seems like a more rational approach than writing a big tool to do the same job but less flexibly. The advantage to this tool is simply speed and ease of use.
