I found this site helpful when looking for more information regarding MOSS 2007 logs. The author, Rai Umair, has also included two links to free Log Parsing software [Microsoft's Log Parser 2.2] and [Quest's Funnel Web Analyzer]. Parsing software is nice when a group of these text files bloat up to 1GB+ in a single day – as in my situation.
Microsoft’s Log Parser is a tool that allows you to query the log files using a command line interface and a SQL-like language (see “Examples” in the image below) to parse the files.

Unfortunately, Quest’s Funnel Web Analyzer did not work for me. I tried using numerous Sharepoint generated log files but received the same error each time. There could be a setting I’m overlooking, but as of the time of this post, it did not work for me.

Generally, where are Sharepoint Log files located?
Rai’s post correctly explained that the Sharepoint log files are located here:
[SysDrive]:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\LOGS\
