Hi Jochen,

Just want to explore a bit further.

These messages are now in binary format, and it seems to be parsed already. 
Is there a way to convert them back to original text messages? or there is 
no way to convert it back to original text form?

I am asking the question on behalf of one of my colleague who was thinking 
about retrieving information from the consolidated data (log messages from 
multiple source).

Thanks,

Wayne
