Issue with Log Reader - plugin

Question

Hi All, 
 
 In order to read site_usage.csv log and convert it to readable format I am using readcsvlog (Log Reader - plugin) . But I am facing issue like these params are timestampColumnName , timestampStart , timestampEnd not working and I am getting massive data without these params. 
 
 Is there any way to filter the csv log data based on timestamp range while reading the csv using plugin. 
 
 When I read the entire set I have to loop huge number of time for getting the timestamp and filtering it based on date range which is causing performance issue. 
 
 Regards 
 Bihitak

In the past I've found the formatting of the data returned by this plug-in to not be super consistent. For example it doesn't correctly retain quote escaping for text cells it returns (even when the original log file did correctly quote escape), making it pretty difficult to read / use within custom Appian functionality. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be under very active development or maintenance, so I'm not sure if we can expect much of a resolution to this anytime soon.
