lnav: Advanced Log File Viewer for Linux Desktops and Servers
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**If you want to debug or troubleshoot any issues, you need an advanced log file viewer like lnav – which works wonders in the terminal for any Linux system.**
|
||||
|
||||
### lnav: Log file viewer
|
||||
|
||||
lnav can unzip all the compressed log files on the fly and merge them together for a nice display. The display is parsed and formatted based on the types of errors/warnings – this helps to quickly glance through the thousands of logs, especially in servers.
|
||||
|
||||
While analysing the logs, timestamps are very important. So lnav merges multiple logs based on timestamps, which is very helpful for tracking down system issues.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the important log file format detection is built-in; see below:
|
||||
|
||||
- Common Web Access Log format
|
||||
- CUPS page_log
|
||||
- Syslog
|
||||
- Glog
|
||||
- VMware ESXi/vCenter Logs
|
||||
- dpkg.log
|
||||
- uwsgi
|
||||
- “Generic” – Any message that starts with a timestamp
|
||||
- Strace
|
||||
- sudo
|
||||
- GZIP, BZIP
|
||||
|
||||
That is not all; lnav is also capable of the below features, making it an important app for Linux systems.
|
||||
|
||||
- Filter messages based on regular expression
|
||||
- A timeline view of errors
|
||||
- Pretty-Print view- helps to reformat
|
||||
- Query Log using SQL
|
||||
- A log is updated in real-time while being searched.
|
||||
- Syntax highlight via regular expression (say you want to find out an IP address in the entire log)
|
||||
- Tab completion of any word from the log which is displayed !!

### How to Install
|
||||
|
||||
This program is available in official Ubuntu, Debian repo. Install it using the following command.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt install lnav
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And for Fedora, RHEL users, use the below command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dnf install lnav
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also the developers provides an offline standalone executable which you don’t need to install. You can download the zip from the [GitHub release page][3] and execute as:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
./lnav
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: It’s also available for macOS which you can find in the above GitHub page.
|
||||
|
||||
### lnav: How to use (Basics)
|
||||
|
||||
The simple command syntax is:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
lnav [options] [logfile1 logfile2 …]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you run just lnav from the command, it shows all the logs from your system (/var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
lnav
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To view any specific log file, provide it via the command line:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
lnav /var/log/syslog
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add timestamp in your log output using -t parameter
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
lnav -t /var/log/syslog
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some of the key switches of lnav
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
-d file Write debug messages to the given file.-a Load all of the most recent log file types.-r Load older rotated log files as well.-t Prepend timestamps to the lines of data being read inon the standard input.-w file Write the contents of the standard input to this file.-c cmd Execute a command after the files have been loaded.-f path Execute the commands in the given file.-n Run without the curses UI. (headless mode)
|
||||
```
