Logn

Why bother with complicated centralized logging servers with elastic searchers when you have a powerful machine running idle on your desk, and you only have a few million lines of logs anyway?

This gem is meant for those who are not web scale. You don't need to set up any servers. Just point it at some log files, and we'll give you a nice console where you can specify some filters to drill down to the lines you want.

Installation

$ gem install logn

Usage

Right now, your log files need to be formatted like this:

I, [2013-04-22T09:47:33.081972 #12790] INFO -- : sending.application.area:status {"optional":"json hash","with":"extra event data"}

This is obviously the best log format ever, but pull requests that add support for customizable formats might be merged. ;)

If you happen to use this format, you can start logn like so.

$ logn *.log

After this, you'll end up in a pry session (for now) with the local variable events prefilled with items for each line from your logs. Then you can do cool things like:

[1] pry(main)> events.select { |e| e.timestamp > Time.new(2013,05,01) }.size
=> 27635
