Note: Supported DateTime format is MM/DD/YYYY from the SSRS Logfiles. This is how generally data is written to the SSRS Log files by default. If somehow you are trying to change the format of the DateTime to something else, the application will not be able to read the logs.

Any feedback/suggestions/comments regarding this tool is highly appreciated!!

Thanks..
