In using the log parser, I have had amusing false negatives and false positives.

I would be very helpful if there was a setting that created a log file showing the log file being applied, the rule being applied and the associated log file line.

for example: (log_parser_debug_log_<project_name>build<build_number>.txt)

Rule File: log_parsing_rules.txt

error\t14\t345\tSomething bad happened to generate a fatal error.

where

• error is the label being applied
• 14 is the line of the rules file
• 345 is the line of the log being parsed
• the remaining text is the line from the log

Additionally, being able to specify the separator string (shown here as a tab) would be helpful.
