Log File Parsing Tool

What's That?

A Python script that parses .log and .txt files in a given directory and exports the results into a CSV file.
This makes it easier to investigate logs with tools like Excel or SIEMs.

Features

• Parses all .log and .txt files in a directory.
• Extracts:
  • Timestamp
  • Log level (INFO, ERROR, WARNING, etc.)
  • Message
  • IP addresses
  • Status values
• Saves results into parsed_logs.csv.
