A graphical user interface configured to facilitate replay debugging in distributed software programs is provided. The graphical user interface can allow the user to provide watchpoints and can allow the user to visualize variables that are contained within the log files. The watchpoints can represent one or more conditions. The user defined watchpoints can be converted into regex expressions and applied to the log files to determine if they meet the condition specified in the watchpoint, and if the log files meet the condition, a visual indication can be provided on a visual progress bar.
