Exchange server transport logs reading tool

Hi Exchange Brain Trust, 

 

I need to get rid of any inactive IP addresses out of my SMTP receive connectors in Exchange 2019 server (Hybrid environment). Is there a free tool to monitor/study transport logs which provides a good UI as opposed to notepad readings?

 

Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

    I haven't used this particular script, but used one very similar: https://github.com/bergsj/SMTP-Log-Review.
    No UI, but outputs to a file to see what IP addresses are being used, and then you can remove what isn't (that's about the best option!). It can take a long time to run depending on the number and size of your SMTP log files, and you need to make sure you have enough log files to capture those devices/apps that may only send messages every month or so.
