Filters

This utility comes with a few log filters baked in, allowing for specific types of logs to be returned (aka logs from specific messages & services). Making for log gathering for troubleshooting to be much easier for support personel in large organizations and allow for ample information to be gathered before escalating to T2 or T3.
