I've stepped it through the debugger a couple of times...This is the first line that comes out:
"<![LOG[Server Started]LOG]!><time="18:21
...As far as I can see all the quotes and brackets line up.
"<![LOG[Server Started]LOG]!><time="18:21

That makes me think your posted code is fine - the problem is likely by the code you use to fill the grid display.

Managed to find some raw data from one of the existing log files on my system. I think maybe the columns are expecting the data to be in a certain format before it will display - As far as I can tell though there is no obvious way to determine what that format is.
I've now managed to get component and date time to appear properly using the following syntax:
Thread still isnt appearing properly but I think I can probably live with that

Is this some third party tool or something you don't have the code / documentation for?

No - its just appending the text to a standard .log file. Just no way to know what it expects.
Could you provide your method to read the data from the text file and display it in the grid?

To repeat myself:

By that I meant the viewer that you are using to see the log file output.
