Applications for logserver output
There are applications where reading the output of the logserver can be usefull.
One example is to build a tool which captures onboard scanner results. If you scan while you are near your pos, you get a list of pos modules in space. There is currently no way to get pos module lists for your towers by using the api. This application is discussed here. Onboard scanner results can be found in logserver messages (look for 'ConeScan' call result).
There are other known aplications which use logserver output, like the well known BACON.
Modular solution
Even when reading the logserver output by tools like BACON is allowed, it is not easy. I've committed to help out the community with modular building blocks for a pos inventory tool. The first step in this direction is the logserver tool library.
The features of the preliminary release are limited. The library is able to read the .lbw file into objects. These can be processed by the aplication or serialized to xml for debugging.
Future versions will be able to automatically start/stop the logserver, to read and process the log messages on the fly, filter them on type/content and to fire events. There will also be a toolset which helps you parsing the usefull messages.
Download
The sourcecode of the library can be downloaded from:
http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/Ausser/EVELogserverTools-2008-06-03-02-56.zip
The .NET library is written in vb2008e and licensed under LGPL license. Please check the Readme.pdf and the sourcecode for more details.
Any kind of feedback is welcome.

Before doing to much work on this I suggest you test it against the Empyrean Age builds on Sisi.
We have made some changes about how EVE and log Server interact and the level of messaging.
As Empyrean Age is about to be released it would pay to check compatibility of you code with the new structure.
Thanks for the hint Lingorm.
I've tested the library against the test build on multiplicity today.
Everything seems fine, the file format has not changed.
The only change i've noticed is ScatterEvent message arguments were removed.

404 error on the linky
There seems to be something wrong at evefiles.
The file does not show up in my file list.
I've tried to upload it a second time with the following result:

EVELogserverTools-2008-06-03-02-56[1].zip
Error: File blocked
I will contact evefiles to solve the problem.

Hi,
The file was removed, and upon removal it was also blocked hence why you
can't upload it again. It was removed as I am not sure I am willing to
support tools that read the LogServer after all the BACON discussions etc.
I will look into your file and review it for restore or not.
Sorry for the trouble. Should have this done by tomorrow - if restored it
will appear in your account again and link will be enabled.
/c
I apologize the trouble.
Tomorrow i will contact my webspace provider to reactivate my account there.
The library will be online again - even if sanctioned by evefiles.
