This is the official documentation site for **DNSServer.DebugLogParser**, a PowerShell module that transforms Windows DNS Server debug log files into structured, analyzable CSV data.

## About the module

DNSServer.DebugLogParser was born from a real-world need: Windows DNS Server debug logs are human-readable text, but not suitable for analytics or reporting. This module bridges that gap by converting raw log files into structured CSV format that integrates with common tools like Excel, Power BI, SQL databases, and SIEM systems.

Key design principles:

- **Performance first** — optimized for 100MB+ files using streaming I/O and string operations
- **Cross-edition compatibility** — supports PowerShell Desktop (5.1+) and Core (7.x)
- **Production-ready** — includes header validation, error handling, and optional compression
- **Pipeline-friendly** — integrates naturally with PowerShell's pipeline architecture
