I have an IIS webserver that is crashing occasionally. It always works just fine after restarting the AppPool. I have logging configured for the website in a standard W3C format. Looking through the logs for useful information is like sifting through vomit for a tasty treat. Are there any good tools out there for making these logs more readable? User Friendly? Useful?

W3C Extended format is a customizable ASCII format with a variety of different properties. You can log properties important to you, while limiting log size by omitting unwanted property fields. Properties are separated by spaces. Time is recorded as UTC.
For computer log management, the Common Log Format, also known as the NCSA Common log format, (after NCSA HTTPd) is a standardized text file format used by web servers when generating server log files.
OLF (the open log format) states: OLF is designed for logging network events such as those often logged by firewalls, but it can also be used for events not related to the network.
W3logsvc process maintains pipeline to the worker process to get detailed information of each request so it can log data accordingly. This event error happens if the pipeline connection is not available anymore.
