lnav

A fancy log file viewer for the terminal.

Overview

The Logfile Navigator, lnav, is an enhanced log file viewer that takes
advantage of any semantic information that can be gleaned from the
files being viewed, such as timestamps and log levels. Using this
extra semantic information, lnav can do things like interleaving
messages from different files, generate histograms of messages over
time, and providing hotkeys for navigating through the file. It is
hoped that these features will allow the user to quickly and
efficiently zero in on problems.

Opening Paths/URLs

The main arguments to lnav are the local/remote files, directories,
glob patterns, or URLs to be viewed. If no arguments are given, the
default syslog file for your system will be opened. These arguments
will be polled periodically so that any new data or files will be
automatically loaded. If a previously loaded file is removed or
replaced, it will be closed and the replacement opened.

Note: When opening SFTP URLs, if the password is not provided for the
host, the SSH agent can be used to do authentication.

Options

Lnav takes a list of files to view and/or you can use the flag
arguments to load well-known log files, such as the syslog log files.
The flag arguments are:

 •  -a  Load all of the most recent log file types.
 •  -r  Recursively load files from the given directory
   hierarchies.
 •  -R  Load older rotated log files as well.

When using the flag arguments, lnav will look for the files relative
to the current directory and its parent directories. In other words,
if you are working within a directory that has the well-known log
files, those will be preferred over any others.

If you do not want the default syslog file to be loaded when no files
are specified, you can pass the  -N  flag.

Any files given on the command-line are scanned to determine their log
file format and to create an index for each line in the file. You do
not have to manually specify the log file format. The currently
supported formats are: syslog, apache, strace, tcsh history, and
generic log files with timestamps.

Lnav will also display data piped in on the standard input.

To automatically execute queries or lnav commands after the files have
been loaded, you can use the following options:

 •  -c cmd  A command, query, or file to execute. The
   first character determines the type of operation: a colon
   ( : ) is used for the built-in commands; a semi-colon (
    ; ) for SQL queries; and a pipe symbol ( | ) for
   executing a file containing other commands. For example,
   to open the file "foo.log" and go to the tenth line in
   the file, you can do:
   
    ▌lnav -c ':goto 10' foo.log              
   
   This option can be given multiple times to execute
   multiple operations in sequence.
 •  -f file  A file that contains commands, queries, or
   files to execute. This option is a shortcut for
    -c '|file' . You can use a dash ( - ) to execute
   commands from the standard input.

To execute commands/queries without opening the interactive text UI,
you can pass the  -n  option. This combination of options allows you
to write scripts for processing logs with lnav. For example, to get a
list of IP addresses that dhclient has bound to in CSV format:

 ▌#! /usr/bin/lnav -nf                                                                            
 ▌                                                                                                
 ▌# Usage: dhcp_ip.lnav /var/log/messages                                                         
 ▌# Only include lines that look like:                                                            
 ▌# Apr 29 00:31:56 example-centos5 dhclient: bound to 10.1.10.103 -- renewal in 9938 seconds.    
 ▌                                                                                                
 ▌:filter-in dhclient: bound to                                                                   
 ▌                                                                                                
 ▌# The log message parser will extract the IP address                                            
 ▌# as col_0, so we select that and alias it to "dhcp_ip".                                        
 ▌;SELECT DISTINCT col_0 AS dhcp_ip FROM logline;                                                 
 ▌                                                                                                
 ▌# Finally, write the results of the query to stdout.                                            
 ▌:write-csv-to -                                                                                 

Display

The main part of the display shows the log lines from the files
interleaved based on time-of-day. New lines are automatically loaded
as they are appended to the files and, if you are viewing the bottom
of the files, lnav will scroll down to display the new lines, much
like  tail -f .

On color displays, the lines will be highlighted as follows:

 • Errors will be colored in red;
 • warnings will be yellow;
 • boundaries between days will be underlined;
   and
 • various color highlights will be applied to: IP
   addresses, SQL keywords, XML tags, file and line numbers
   in Java backtraces, and quoted strings.

To give you an idea of where you are spatially, the right side of the
display has a proportionally sized 'scroll bar' that indicates your
current position in the files. The scroll bar will also show areas of
the file where warnings or errors are detected by coloring the bar
yellow or red, respectively. Tick marks will also be added to the left
and right-hand side of the bar, for search hits and bookmarks.

The bar on the left side indicates the file the log message is from. A
break in the bar means that the next log message comes from a
different file. The color of the bar is derived from the file name.
Pressing the left-arrow or  h  will reveal the source file names for
each message and pressing again will show the full paths.

Above and below the main body are status lines that display a variety
of information. The top line displays:

 • The current time, configurable by the
    /ui/clock-format  property.
 • The highest priority message from the
    lnav_user_notifications  table. You can insert rows into
   this table to display your own status messages. The
   default message displayed on startup explains how to
   focus on the next status line at the top, which is an
   interactive breadcrumb bar.

The second status line at the top display breadcrumbs for the top line
in the main view. Pressing  ENTER  will focus input on the breadcrumb
bar, the cursor keys can be used to select a breadcrumb. The common
breadcrumbs are:

 • The name of the current view.
 • In the log view, the timestamp of the top log message.
 • In the log view, the format of the log file the top
   log message is from.
 • The name of the file the top line was pulled from.
 • If the top line is within a larger chunk of structured
   data, the path to the value in the top line will be
   shown.

Notes:

 1. Pressing  CTRL-A / CTRL-E  will select the
    first/last breadcrumb.
 2. Typing text while a breadcrumb is selected will
    perform a fuzzy search on the possibilities.

The bottom status bar displays:

 • The line number for the top line in the display.
 • The current search hit, the total number of hits, and
   the search term.

If the view supports filtering, there will be a status line showing
the following:

 • The number of enabled filters and the total number of
   filters.
 • The number of lines not displayed because of
   filtering.

To edit the filters, you can press TAB to change the focus from the
main view to the filter editor. The editor allows you to create,
enable/disable, and delete filters easily.

Along with filters, a "Files" panel will also be available for viewing
and controlling the files that lnav is currently monitoring.

Finally, the last line on the display is where you can enter search
patterns and execute internal commands, such as converting a
unix-timestamp into a human-readable date. The command-line is
implemented using the readline library, so the usual set of keyboard
shortcuts are available. Most commands and searches also support
tab-completion.

The body of the display is also used to display other content, such
as: the help file, histograms of the log messages over time, and SQL
results. The views are organized into a stack so that any time you
activate a new view with a key press or command, the new view is
pushed onto the stack. Pressing the same key again will pop the view
off of the stack and return you to the previous view. Note that you
can always use  q  to pop the top view off of the stack.

 ?       View/leave this help message.
 q       Leave the current view or quit the program when in
         the log file view.
 Q       Similar to  q , except it will try to sync the top
         time between the current and former views. For
         example, when leaving the spectrogram view with
          Q , the top time in that view will be matched to
         the top time in the log view.
 TAB     Toggle focusing on the filter editor or the main
         view.
 ENTER   Focus on the breadcrumb bar.
 a/A     Restore the view that was previously popped with
          q / Q . The  A  hotkey will try to match the top
         times between the two views.
 X       Close the current text file or log file.

 g/Home      Move to the top of the file.
 G/End       Move to the end of the file. If the view is
             already at the end, it will move to the last line.
 SPACE/PgDn  Move down a page.
 CTRL+d      Move down by half a page.
 b/PgUp      Move up a page.
 CTRL+u      Move up by half a page.
 j/↓         Move down a line.
 k/↑         Move up a line.
 h/←         Move to the left. In the log view, moving left
             will reveal the source log file names for each
             line. Pressing again will reveal the full path.
 l/→         Move to the right.
 H/Shift ←   Move to the left by a smaller increment.
 L/Shift →   Move to the right by a smaller increment.
 e/E         Move to the next/previous error.
 w/W         Move to the next/previous warning.
 n/N         Move to the next/previous search hit. When pressed
             repeatedly within a short time, the view will move
             at least a full page at a time instead of moving
             to the next hit.
 f/F         Move to the next/previous file. In the log view,
             this moves to the next line from a different file.
             In the text view, this rotates the view to the
             next file.
 >/<         Move horizontally to the next/previous search hit.
 o/O         Move forward/backward to the log message with a
             matching 'operation ID' (opid) field.
 u/U         Move forward/backward through any user bookmarks
             you have added using the 'm' key. This hotkey will
             also jump to the start of any log partitions that
             have been created with the 'partition-name'
             command.
 s/S         Move to the next/previous "slow down" in the log
             message rate. A slow down is detected by measuring
             how quickly the message rate has changed over the
             previous several messages. For example, if one
             message is logged every second for five seconds
             and then the last message arrives five seconds
             later, the last message will be highlighted as a
             slow down.
 {/}         Move to the previous/next location in history.
             Whenever you jump to a new location in the view,
             the location will be added to the history. The
             history is not updated when using only the arrow
             keys.

 d/D            Move forward/backward 24 hours from the current
                position in the log file.
 1-6/Shift 1-6  Move to the next/previous n'th ten minute of the
                hour. For example, '4' would move to the first log
                line in the fortieth minute of the current hour in
                the log. And, '6' would move to the next hour
                boundary.
 7/8            Move to the previous/next minute.
 0/Shift 0      Move to the next/previous day boundary.
 r/R            Move forward/backward based on the relative time
                that was last used with the 'goto' command. For
                example, executing ':goto a minute later' will
                move the log view forward a minute and then
                pressing 'r' will move it forward a minute again.
                Pressing 'R' will then move the view in the
                opposite direction, so backwards a minute.

 m       Mark/unmark the line at the top of the display.
         The line will be highlighted with reverse video to
         indicate that it is a user bookmark. You can use
         the  u  hotkey to iterate through marks you have
         added.
 M       Mark/unmark all the lines between the top of the
         display and the last line marked/unmarked.
 J       Mark/unmark the next line after the previously
         marked line.
 K       Like  J  except it toggles the mark on the
         previous line.
 c       Copy the marked text to the X11 selection buffer
         or OS X clipboard.
 C       Clear all marked lines.

                structured data, such as XML, will be reformatted
                to make it easier to read.
 t              Switch to/from the text file view. The text file
                view is for any files that are not recognized as
                log files.

 Ctrl-L         (Lo-fi mode) Exit screen-mode and write the
                displayed log lines in plain text to the terminal
                until a key is pressed. Useful for copying long
                lines from the terminal without picking up any of
                the extra decorations.
 T              Toggle the display of the "elapsed time" column
                that shows the time elapsed since the beginning of
                the logs or the offset from the previous bookmark.
                Sharp changes in the message rate are highlighted
                by coloring the separator between the time column
                and the log message. A red highlight means the
                message rate has slowed down and green means it
                has sped up. You can use the "s/S" hotkeys to scan
                through the slow downs.
 i              View/leave a histogram of the log messages over
                time. The histogram counts the number of displayed
                log lines for each bucket of time. The bars are
                layed out horizontally with colored segments
                representing the different log levels. You can use
                the  z  hotkey to change the size of the time
                buckets (e.g. ten minutes, one hour, one day).
 I              Switch between the log and histogram views while
                keeping the time displayed at the top of each view
                in sync. For example, if the top line in the log
                view is "11:40", hitting  I  will switch to the
                histogram view and scrolled to display "11:00" at
                the top (if the zoom level is hours).
 z/Shift Z      Zoom in or out one step in the histogram view.
 v              Switch to/from the SQL result view.
 V              Switch between the log and SQL result views while
                keeping the top line number in the log view in
                sync with the log_line column in the SQL view. For
                example, doing a query that selects for
                "log_idle_msecs" and "log_line", you can move the
                top of the SQL view to a line and hit 'V' to
                switch to the log view and move to the line number
                that was selected in the "log_line" column. If
                there is no "log_line" column, lnav will find the
                first column with a timestamp and move to
                corresponding time in the log view.
 TAB/Shift TAB  In the SQL result view, cycle through the columns
                that are graphed. Initially, all number values are
                displayed in a stacked graph. Pressing TAB will
                change the display to only graph the first column.
                Repeatedly pressing TAB will cycle through the
                columns until they are all graphed again.
 p              In the log view: enable or disable the display of
                the fields that the log message parser knows about
                or has discovered. This overlay is temporarily
                enabled when the semicolon key (;) is pressed so
                that it is easier to write queries.
                In the DB view: enable or disable the display of
                values in columns containing JSON-encoded values
                in the top row. The overlay will display the
                JSON-Pointer reference and value for all fields in
                the JSON data.
 CTRL-W         Toggle word-wrapping.

 CTRL-F         Toggle the enabled/disabled state of all filters
                in the current view.
 x              Toggle the hiding of log message fields. The
                hidden fields will be replaced with three bullets
                and highlighted in yellow.
 CTRL-X         Toggle the cursor mode. Allows moving the selected

 /regexp              Start a search for the given regular expression.
                      The search is live, so when there is a pause in
                      typing, the currently running search will be
                      canceled and a new one started. The first ten
                      lines that match the search will be displayed in
                      the preview window at the bottom of the view.
                      History is maintained for your searches so you can
                      rerun them easily. Words that are currently
                      displayed are also available for tab-completion,
                      so you can easily search for values without
                      needing to copy-and-paste the string. If there is
                      an error encountered while trying to interpret the
                      expression, the error will be displayed in red on
                      the status line. While the search is active, the
                      'hits' field in the status line will be green,
                      when finished it will turn back to black.
 :<command>           Execute an internal command. The commands are
                      listed below. History is also supported in this
                      context as well as tab-completion for commands and
                      some arguments. The result of the command replaces
                      the command you typed.
 ;<sql>               Execute an SQL query. Most supported log file
                      formats provide a sqlite virtual table backend

Mouse Support (experimental)

If you are using Xterm, or a compatible terminal, you can use the
mouse to mark lines of text and move the view by grabbing the
scrollbar.

NOTE: You need to manually enable this feature by setting the LNAV_EXP
environment variable to "mouse". F2 toggles mouse support.

SQL Queries (experimental)

Lnav has support for performing SQL queries on log files using the
Sqlite3 "virtual" table feature. For all supported log file types,
lnav will create tables that can be queried using the subset of SQL
that is supported by Sqlite3. For example, to get the top ten URLs
being accessed in any loaded Apache log files, you can execute:

 ▌;SELECT cs_uri_stem, count(*) AS total FROM access_log    
 ▌   GROUP BY cs_uri_stem ORDER BY total DESC LIMIT 10;     

The query result view shows the results and graphs any numeric values
found in the result, much like the histogram view.

The builtin set of log tables are listed below. Note that only the log
messages that match a particular format can be queried by a particular
table. You can find the file format and table name for the top log
message by looking in the upper right hand corner of the log file
view.

Some commonly used format tables are:

 Name         Description                                       
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 access_log   Apache common access log format
 syslog_log   Syslog format
 strace_log   Strace log format
 generic_log  'Generic' log format. This table contains messages
              from files that have a very simple format with a
              leading timestamp followed by the message.

NOTE: You can get a dump of the schema for the internal tables, and
any attached databases, by running the  .schema  SQL command.

The columns available for the top log line in the view will
automatically be displayed after pressing the semicolon ( ; ) key. All
log tables contain at least the following columns:

 Column          Description                                       
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 log_line        The line number in the file, starting at zero.
 log_part        The name of the partition.  You can change this
                 column using an UPDATE SQL statement or with the
                 'partition-name' command.  After a value is set,
                 the following log messages will have the same
                 partition name up until another name is set.
 log_time        The time of the log entry.
 log_idle_msecs  The amount of time, in milliseconds, between the
                 current log message and the previous one.
 log_level       The log level (e.g. info, error, etc...).
 log_mark        The bookmark status for the line.  This column can
                 be written to using an UPDATE query.
 log_path        The full path to the file.
 log_text        The raw line of text.  Note that this column is
                 not included in the result of a 'select *', but it
                 does exist.

The following tables include the basic columns as listed above and
include a few more columns since the log file format is more
structured.

 •  syslog_log 
   
    Column        Description                                       
   ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
    log_hostname  The hostname the message was received from.
    log_procname  The name of the process that sent the message.
    log_pid       The process ID of the process that sent the
                  message.
 •  access_log  (The column names are the same as those
   in the Microsoft LogParser tool.)
   
    Column         Description                               
   ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
    c_ip           The client IP address.
    cs_username    The client user name.
    cs_method      The HTTP method.
    cs_uri_stem    The stem portion of the URI.
    cs_uri_query   The query portion of the URI.
    cs_version     The HTTP version string.
    sc_status      The status number returned to the client.
    sc_bytes       The number of bytes sent to the client.
    cs_referrer    The URL of the referring page.
    cs_user_agent  The user agent string.
 •  strace_log  (Currently, you need to run strace with
   the  -tt -T options so there are timestamps for each
   function call.)
   
    Column       Description                              
   ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
    funcname     The name of the syscall.
    result       The result code.
    duration     The amount of time spent in the syscall.
    arg0 - arg9  The arguments passed to the syscall.

These tables are created dynamically and not stored in memory or on
disk. If you would like to persist some information from the tables,
you can attach another database and create tables in that database.
For example, if you wanted to save the results from the earlier
example of a top ten query into the "/tmp/topten.db" file, you can do:

 ▌;ATTACH DATABASE '/tmp/topten.db' AS topten;                         
 ▌;CREATE TABLE topten.foo AS SELECT cs_uri_stem, count(*) AS total    
 ▌   FROM access_log GROUP BY cs_uri_stem ORDER BY total DESC          
 ▌   LIMIT 10;                                                         

Dynamic logline Table (experimental)

(NOTE: This feature is still very new and not completely reliable yet,
use with care.)

For log formats that lack message structure, lnav can parse the log
message and attempt to extract any data fields that it finds. This
feature is available through the  logline  log table. This table is
dynamically created and defined based on the message at the top of the
log view. For example, given the following log message from "sudo",
lnav will create the "logline" table with columns for "TTY", "PWD",
"USER", and "COMMAND":

 ▌May 24 06:48:38 Tim-Stacks-iMac.local sudo[76387]: stack : TTY=ttys003 ; PWD=/Users/stack/github/lbuild ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/echo Hello, World!    

Queries executed against this table will then only return results for
other log messages that have the same format. So, if you were to
execute the following query while viewing the above line, you might
get the following results:

 ▌;SELECT USER,COMMAND FROM logline;      

 USER  COMMAND                   
═════════════════════════════════
 root  /bin/echo Hello, World!
 mal   /bin/echo Goodbye, World!

The log parser works by examining each message for key/value pairs
separated by an equal sign (=) or a colon (:). For example, in the
previous example of a "sudo" message, the parser sees the "USER=root"
string as a pair where the key is "USER" and the value is "root". If
no pairs can be found, then anything that looks like a value is
extracted and assigned a numbered column. For example, the following
line is from "dhcpd":

 ▌Sep 16 22:35:57 drill dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:16:ce:54:4e:f3 via hme3    

In this case, the lnav parser recognizes that "DHCPDISCOVER", the MAC
address and the "hme3" device name are values and not normal words.
So, it builds a table with three columns for each of these values. The
regular words in the message, like "from" and "via", are then used to
find other messages with a similar format.

If you would like to execute queries against log messages of different
formats at the same time, you can use the 'create-logline-table'
command to permanently create a table using the top line of the log
view as a template.

Other SQL Features

Environment variables can be used in SQL statements by prefixing the
variable name with a dollar-sign ($). For example, to read the value
of the  HOME  variable, you can do:

 ▌;SELECT $HOME;                          

To select the syslog messages that have a hostname field that is equal
to the  HOSTNAME  variable:

 ▌;SELECT * FROM syslog_log WHERE log_hostname = $HOSTNAME;    

NOTE: Variable substitution is done for fields in the query and is not
a plain text substitution. For example, the following statement WILL
NOT WORK:

 ▌;SELECT * FROM $TABLE_NAME; -- Syntax error    

Access to lnav's environment variables is also available via the
"environ" table. The table has two columns (name, value) and can be
read and written to using SQL SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE
statements. For example, to set the "FOO" variable to the value "BAR":

 ▌;INSERT INTO environ SELECT 'FOO', 'BAR';    

As a more complex example, you can set the variable "LAST" to the last
syslog line number by doing:

 ▌;INSERT INTO environ SELECT 'LAST', (SELECT max(log_line) FROM syslog_log);    

A delete will unset the environment variable:

 ▌;DELETE FROM environ WHERE name='LAST';    

The table allows you to easily use the results of a SQL query in lnav
commands, which is especially useful when scripting lnav.
