Intune log reader app?

Hello

 

The log file here:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Logs\IntuneManagementExtension.log

 

looks like it has a format. Is there a viewer app for this log type?

 

Thanks

David

    I just released tool Get-IntuneManagementExtensionDiagnostics.ps1
    which analyzes Intune Management Extension logs and also includes LogViewerUI which has everything formatted in clear text, includes search and filtering. Also found Timeline events are added to log view to help find right place/time in log.

    And with option -ConvertAllKnownGuidsToClearText all known GUIDs are converted to App and Script names in LogViewerUI. This helps debugging a lot.

    I use LogViewerUI usually with this command:
    ./Get-IntuneManagementExtensionDiagnostics.ps1 -Online -ShowLogViewerUI -ConvertAllKnownGuidsToClearText

    Script can be downloaded from Powershell Gallery with command:
    Save-Script Get-IntuneManagementExtensionDiagnostics -Path ./

    And you can run it with different options:
    ./Get-IntuneManagementExtensionDiagnostics.ps1

    # or to get Intune Powershell script names from Graph API
    # use -Online parameter
    ./Get-IntuneManagementExtensionDiagnostics.ps1 -Online

    Project web pages and more info/help can be found from GitHub page
    https://github.com/petripaavola/Get-IntuneManagementExtensionDiagnostics

    There are other options like cmtrace but my solution adds found events info to log viewer and can convert GUIDs to real names which helps a lot when debugging log file.
