Apply profiler template to saved log I need to check for deadlocks in my customer's system. He provided me with unfiltered logs.

Can I filter them after running the trace somehow? (I don't have direct access to his server)

It seems like the template can be applied only before running the trace.
I don't believe you can apply a template after a trace file is saved, however you can work around this by exporting the results to a table.

If you open the trace file in SQL Profiler and the navigate to File &gt; Save As &gt; Trace Table, you can output the result set to a table in an existing or new database and then you can query/filter the result set to your hearts content.
