Patterns and Formats
The patterns and formats constitute the core of the parser, telling it how it should parse files. The patterns are mainly based on regular expressions but an additional syntax is added for XML input. The patterns are first applied to the log to extract relevant data, then the formats rearrange the groups captured by the patterns into the correct order.
