Nerdlog: fast, remote-first, multi-host TUI log viewer with timeline histogram and no central server
INSTALLATION
$ sudo apt install libx11-dev$ go install github.com/dimonomid/nerdlog/cmd/nerdlog@latest
DESCRIPTION
Nerdlog is a fast, remote-first, multi-host terminal user interface (TUI) log viewer designed as a lightweight alternative to traditional log management systems.
It requires no central server, connecting directly to remote nodes via SSH to perform efficient log analysis and filtering on the fly.
It features an interactive timeline histogram, remote pattern searching, and gzipped data transfer for optimized performance across multiple machines.
