fBuilder Plus adds a logging utility called fParse that can read and parse log files for all packet log entries, and report them to you. fParse can report log entries using names rather than IP addresses and implements a file cache of name lookups to speed up all subsequent lookups. fBuilder now gives you more control by allowing you to view your logs within a user specified time frame, by protocol, port, target, and more.
