    How do I use this? I tried just running it and it opens up a window very briefly in red color and then it closes.

      Do you have logging enabled in the Skyrim ini files?

      Yes I have it enabled. Could it be that I'm starting the game from Mod Organizer?

      No, I start it from MO as well. Are your log files somewhere unusual?

      No they're in the default place: Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Logs

      And there are log files in there, right?

      Try running it from the console, see if it shows an error message.

      Yes there are logs in there, what you mean with running it from console?

      Try this:
      Right click on the script
      Select "Edit"
      In the editor window that appears, there should be a run button. It will have a little green triangle. Press it and see what appears down below.

      This is what I get. :O SkyrimLE Log Monitor.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Please see "
      get-help about_signing" for more details.

      Edit: Ok I found a solution, I had to change the restriction mode in Powershell to unrestricted. It now works fine! Thanks for the help.

    Very many thanks for this. I really like the clean simplicity of it. Will run it now and then to alert me to problems. Thanks for your hard work and for sharing as well. Excellent. :-)

    Just out of curiosity, how will this help me and if there is a problem, how can it be resolved?

      I would also like to know what is the next step when you have stack dumps?

      Examine the log file, see what caused Papyrus to dump the stacks, and identify any mods that are behaving problematically. If there are two hundred stacks that all come from the same mod, that's a clue that there may be a problem with that mod.

      I thought stack dumping was a result an overloaded papyrus and stack dumps is papyrus dumping all the mods in its stack. i.e Papyrus stacks mods naturally during the game process, and only dumps them when things get overloaded. Therefore, suggesting mod authors remove mods mentioned in stack dumps maybe isn't the best advice? Maybe they should be looking at what mods affect there papyrus in its entirety and taking corrective action accordingly. Thoughts?

      edit: Also, forgot to mention REEL, that and this utility should play OK together?

      My post didn't suggest removing ANYTHING. But yes, if a mod has two hundred active scripts at the same time, that is *often* a sign that it is malfunctioning. There are exceptions (DynDoLod comes to mind, and Sim Settlements over in FO4 world), but even then it's rare. Resolving that doesn't necessarily mean removing mods. It may mean changing the settings on a mod, putting it in performance mode, or identifying another mod that it conflicts with. But yes, sometimes it means removing a badly scripted mod.

      I haven't used REEL. But it looks like a more sophisticated version of what this script does.

      How do I run this? I tried starting it and it just opens in a red window and then closes instantly.

    Another question (on top of below question asked by @sleepytigereyes), will using this affect my in game performance? Or instead it is lightweight enough to not burden my currently heavy modded setup?

      The logfile is only parsed once every four seconds and the performance impact should be negligible. But if the logfile becomes large, the performance impact will increase.
