I am trying to read IBM websphere logs but as shown in the picture, it is hard to read the logs. since it is hard to find a pattern. Can someone please suggest a method?
Also as you can see there are multiple timestamp in the same exception.
Appreciate your help.

Hello! Could you paste some example of a couple of full logs? (In text instead of a screenshot) Are these the logs as they are logged by websphere?
