PowerShell transcript logs are notoriously hard to parse and analyze at scale. There are a few write-ups on ingesting transcripts into a log processing tool but none of them achieves extracting commands as well as command outputs into separate fields. This is a pity because the command outputs can be quite interesting. This talk will walk you through our journey of creating a detailed parser for these verbose little fellas. The tool we used is SpectX, a log parser/analyzer that runs queries on flat text files in log servers, S3, AWS, Azure, Google Storage etc
The Session will be recorded and published to our Youtube channel afterwards
