As we all know trace32.exe is utility that comes up with sms/sccm tool kit used to read the log files in better way.Tool name has been changed in configuration manager with CMtrace.exe . CMTrace.exe is a good choice for detailed, real-time monitoring of one or more components. You can specify that certain strings or actions be highlighted as they appear on the screen, and you can also filter log-file entries by component, time, thread ID, or entry text. This tool also maintains the entire log file in a window, so historical log-file data is visible at any time.

Do you know if there are command-line switches available for this tool?
Would be great to be able to specify a remote machine and specific log to view via scripting.
You could use sccm right click tools which has lot of scripts in which one of feature is open sccm client log files.
you can customize this as per the needs http://eskonr.com/2012/05/sccm-2012-right-click-tools/
