Force.com Debug Log Parser
2009 June 4
The Force.com Debug Log Parser (DLP) makes it easy to understand debug logs generated by the Force.com/Salesforce service. The debug logs contain a lot of useful information like what apex triggers fired, what workflow fired, what field updates were made, and what order everything happened in. Sifting through the logs manually is time consuming and does not make the event hierarchy very evident.
If someone is having an issue with a transaction in their Force.com environment, you can ask them for a debug log of the transaction and you could easily understand their setup better.
Benefits
- See the different events that fired
- Triggers
- Workflow
- Validation Rules
- Easily understand the order of events and their hierarchy
- Quickly identify workflow rules that evaluated to true and the field updates that resulted from them
Requirements
- .NET 3.5

Nice work Kyle! Can you port this to Java? If so, it could be made into an Eclipse plugin to work along side the Force.com IDE! I’d be happy to help port this.
Cheers,
Dave
Love it! Thanks for making it.
Huge props Kyle! We owe you a drink at Dreamforce!
Very Nice tool!!. Thanks for sharing.
Hey everyone, thanks for the comments!
Dave – I think it’d be pretty easy to port to Java. It’d be a matter of just finding the time.
Matt – If you take me to Dreamforce with you you can buy me a drink!
Not used it yet but your video shows something I’ve wished was available for ages now, so thanks (in advance)!
Great work Kyle – thanks for sharing. I’ve been trying to find something like this for a while!
Thanks for putting in the work on this!
