lnav v0.8.2:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* The timestamp format for JSON log files can be specified with the
|
|
"timestamp-format" option in the "line-format" array.
|
|
* Added "min-width", "max-width", "align", and "overflow" options to the
|
|
"line-format" in format definitions for JSON log files. These options
|
|
give you more control over how the displayed line looks.
|
|
* Added a "hidden" option to log format values so that you can hide JSON
|
|
log fields from being displayed if they are not in the line format.
|
|
* Added a "rewriter" field to log format value definitions that is a
|
|
command used to rewrite the field in the pretty-printed version of a
|
|
log message. For example, the HTTP access log format will rewrite the
|
|
status code field to include the textual version (e.g. 200 (OK)).
|
|
|
|
Interface Changes:
|
|
* The color used for text colored via ":highlight" is now based on the
|
|
the regex instead of randomly picked so that colors are consistent
|
|
across invocations.
|
|
* The "graph" view has been removed since it's functionality has been
|
|
obsoleted by other features, like ":create-search-table".
|
|
* When doing a search, if a hit is found within a second after hitting
|
|
<ENTER>, the view will move to the matched line. The previous behavior
|
|
was to stay on the current line, which tended to be a surprise to new
|
|
users.
|
|
* Pressing 'n'/'N' to move through the next/previous search hit will now
|
|
skip adjacent lines, up to the vertical size of the view. This should
|
|
make scanning through clusters of hits much faster. Repeatedly
|
|
pressing these keys within a short time will also accelerate scanning
|
|
by moving the view at least a full page at a time.
|
|
|
|
Breaking Changes:
|
|
* The captured timestamp text in log files must fully match a known format
|
|
or an error will be reported. The previous behavior was to ignore any
|
|
text at the end of the line.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.8.1:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Added a spectrogram command and view that displays the values of a
|
|
numeric field over time. The view works for log message fields or
|
|
for database result columns.
|
|
* Log formats can now create SQL views and execute other statements
|
|
by adding '.sql' files to their format directories. The SQL scripts
|
|
will be executed on startup.
|
|
* Added 'json_group_object' and 'json_group_array' aggregate SQL
|
|
functions that collects values from a GROUP BY query into a JSON
|
|
object or array, respectively.
|
|
* The SQL view will now graph values found in JSON objects/arrays in
|
|
addition to the regular columns in the result.
|
|
* Added an 'regexp_match(<re>, <str>)' SQL function that can be used to
|
|
extract values from a string using a regular expression.
|
|
* Added an 'extract(<str>)' SQL function that extracts values using the
|
|
same data discover/extraction parser used in the 'logline' table.
|
|
* Added a "summary" overlay line to the bottom of the log view that
|
|
displays how long ago the last message was received, along with the
|
|
total number of files and the error rate over the past five minutes.
|
|
* Pressing 'V' in the DB view will now check for a column with a
|
|
timestamp and move to the corresponding time in the log view.
|
|
* Added 'a/A' hotkeys to restore a view previously popped with 'q/Q'.
|
|
* Added ":hide-lines-before", ":hide-lines-after", and
|
|
":show-lines-before-and-after" commands so that you can filter out
|
|
log lines based on time.
|
|
* Scripts containing lnav commands/queries can now be executed using
|
|
the pipe ('|') hotkey. See the documentation for more information.
|
|
* Added an ":eval" command that can be used to execute a command or
|
|
query after performing environment variable substitution.
|
|
* Added an ":echo" command that can be useful for scripts to message
|
|
the user.
|
|
* The "log_part" column can now be set with an SQL UPDATE statement.
|
|
* Added a "log_body" hidden column that returns the body of the log
|
|
message.
|
|
* Added ":config", ":reset-config", and ":save-config" commands to change
|
|
configuration options, reset to default, and save them for future
|
|
executions.
|
|
* Added a "/ui/clock-format" configuration option that controls the time
|
|
format in the top-left corner.
|
|
* Added a "/ui/dim-text" configuration option that controls the brightness
|
|
of text in the UI.
|
|
* Added support for TAI64 timestamps (http://cr.yp.to/libtai/tai64.html).
|
|
* Added a safe execution mode. If the 'LNAVSECURE' environment variable is
|
|
set before executing lnav, the following commands are disabled:
|
|
- open
|
|
- pipe-to
|
|
- pipe-line-to
|
|
- write-*-to
|
|
This makes it easier to run lnav with escalated privileges in restricted
|
|
environments, without the risk of users being able to use the above
|
|
mentioned commands to gain privileged access.
|
|
|
|
Interface Changes:
|
|
* The 'o/O' hotkeys have been reassigned to navigate through log
|
|
messages that have a matching "opid" field. The old action of
|
|
moving forward and backward by 60 minutes can be simulated by
|
|
using the ':goto' command with a relative time and the 'r/R'
|
|
hotkeys.
|
|
* Log messages with timestamps that pre-date previous log messages will
|
|
have the timestamp highlighted in yellow and underlined. These out-
|
|
of-time-order messages will be assigned the time of the previous
|
|
message for sorting purposes. You can press the 'p' hotkey to examine
|
|
the 'Received Time' of the message as well as the time parsed from the
|
|
original message. A "log_actual_time" hidden field has also been
|
|
added to the SQLite virtual table so you can operate on the original
|
|
message time from the file.
|
|
* The 'A/B' hotkeys for moving forward/backward by 10% line increments
|
|
have been reassigned to '[' and ']'. The 'a' and 'A' hotkeys are now
|
|
used to return to the previously popped view while trying to preserve
|
|
the time range. For example, after leaving the spectrogram view with
|
|
'q', you can press 'A' return to the view with the top time in the
|
|
spectrogram matching the top time in the log view.
|
|
* The 'Q' hotkey now pops the current view off of the stack while
|
|
maintaining the top time between views.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
* Issues with tailing JSON logs have been fixed.
|
|
* The jget() SQL function should now work for objects nested in arrays.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.8.0:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Integration with "papertrailapp.com" for querying and tailing
|
|
server log and syslog messages. See the Papertrail section in
|
|
the online help for more details.
|
|
* Remote files can be opened when lnav is built with libcurl v7.23.0+
|
|
* SQL queries can now be done on lines that match a regular expression
|
|
using the "log_search" table or by creating custom tables with the
|
|
":create-search-table" command.
|
|
* Log formats that are "containers" for other log formats, like
|
|
syslog, are now supported. See the online help for more
|
|
information.
|
|
* Formats can be installed from git repositories using the '-i' option.
|
|
A standard set of extra formats can be installed by doing
|
|
'lnav -i extra'. (You must have git installed for this to work.)
|
|
* Added support for 'VMware vSphere Auto Deploy' log format.
|
|
* Added a 'sudo' log format.
|
|
* Added hotkeys to move left/right by a smaller increment (H/L or
|
|
Shift+Left/Shift+Right).
|
|
* A color-coded bar has been added to the left side to show where
|
|
messages from one file stop and messages from another file start.
|
|
* The '-C' option will now try to check any specified log files to
|
|
make sure the format(s) match all of the lines.
|
|
* Added an "all_logs" SQLite table that contains the message format
|
|
extracted from each log line. Also added a ';.msgformat' SQL command
|
|
that executes a query that returns the counts for each format and the
|
|
first line where the format was seen.
|
|
* Added an "lnav_views" SQLite table that can be used to query and
|
|
change the lnav view state.
|
|
* When typing in a command, the status bar will display a short
|
|
summary of the currently entered command.
|
|
* Added a "delete-filter" command.
|
|
* Added a "log_msg_instance" column to the logline and log_search
|
|
tables to make it easier to join tables that are matching log
|
|
messages that are ordered.
|
|
* Added a "timeslice()" function to SQLite so that it is easier to
|
|
group log messages by time buckets.
|
|
* The 'goto' command now supports relative time values like
|
|
'a minute ago', 'an hour later', and many more.
|
|
|
|
Interface Changes:
|
|
* The 'r/R' hotkeys have been reassigned to navigate through the log
|
|
messages by the relative time value that was last used with the
|
|
'goto' command.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
* The pretty-print view should now work for text files.
|
|
* Nested fields in JSON logs are now supported for levels, bodies, etc...
|
|
* Tab-completion should work for quoted SQL identifiers.
|
|
* 'lo-fi' mode key shortcut changed to CTRL+L.
|
|
* 'redraw' shortcut removed. Relegated to just a command.
|
|
* Fixed lnav hang in pretty-print mode while doing a dns lookup.
|
|
* The generic log message parser used to extract data has been
|
|
optimized and should be a bit faster.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.7.3:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Add 'pipe-to' and 'pipe-line-to' commands that pipe the currently
|
|
marked lines or the current log message to a shell command,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
* Added a "pretty-print" view (P hotkey) that tries to reformat log
|
|
messages so that they are easier to read.
|
|
* Added a 'redraw' command (CTRL+L hotkey) to redraw the window in
|
|
case it has been corrupted.
|
|
* Added a 'relative-goto' command to move the current view relative
|
|
to its current position.
|
|
* Experimental support for linking with jemalloc.
|
|
* The plain text view now supports filtering.
|
|
* Added 'next-mark' and 'prev-mark' commands to jump to the next or
|
|
previous bookmarked line (e.g. error, warning, ...)
|
|
* Added a 'zoom-to' command to change the zoom level of the histogram
|
|
view.
|
|
* Log formats can now define their own timestamp formats with the
|
|
'timestamp-format' field.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
* Autotools scripts overhaul.
|
|
* Added a configure option to disable linking with libtinfo. The newer
|
|
versions of ncurses don't require it, however the build silently pulls
|
|
it in as a dependency, if it is available on the system. This can be
|
|
explicitly disabled using the '--disable-tinfo' option during configure.
|
|
* Fixed the configure script behavior to ignore the values specified using
|
|
the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables while searching for sqlite3
|
|
when '--with-sqlite3' switch was specified without the prefix.
|
|
* The configure script now recognizes libeditline symlink'ed to masquerade
|
|
as libreadline. This previously used to cause problems at compile time,
|
|
specially on OS X. If you come across this error, use the
|
|
'--with-readline=prefix' switch to specify the path to the correct
|
|
location of libreadline.
|
|
* The order that log formats are tried against a log file is now
|
|
automatically determined so that more specific formats are tested
|
|
before more general ones. The order is determined on startup based on
|
|
how each format matches each other formats sample lines.
|
|
* Command files (i.e. those executed via the '-f' flag) now support
|
|
commands/queries that span more than one line.
|
|
* Added more log levels: stats, debug2 - debug5.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.7.2:
|
|
* Added log formats for vdsm, openstack, and the vmkernel.
|
|
* Added a "lo-fi" mode (L hotkey) that dumps the displayed log lines
|
|
to the terminal without any decorations. The write-to, write-json-to,
|
|
and write-csv-to commands will also write their output to the terminal
|
|
when passed '-' as the file name. This mode can be useful for copying
|
|
plain text lines to the clipboard.
|
|
* (OS X) Text search strings are copied to the system's "find" clipboard.
|
|
Also, when starting a new search, the current value in the "find"
|
|
clipboard can be tab-completed.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.7.1:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Added an 'environ' SQL table that reflects lnav's environment
|
|
variables. The table can be read and written to using SQL
|
|
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements. Setting variables
|
|
can be a way to use SQL query results in lnav commands.
|
|
* Added a 'jget' SQLite function that can extract fields from a JSON-
|
|
encoded value.
|
|
* Added log formats for the OpenAM identity provider.
|
|
* Added a 'clear-highlight' command to clear previous calls to the
|
|
'highlight' command.
|
|
* Fixed some performance bugs in indexing JSON log formats. Loading
|
|
times should be at least five times faster.
|
|
* Filtering performance should be improved so that enabling/disabling
|
|
filters should be almost instantaneous.
|
|
* The filter-in, filter-out, and highlight commands now support
|
|
tab-completion of text in the current view.
|
|
* Add a '-i' flag that installs format files in: ~/.lnav/formats/installed
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.7.0:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Add the '.schema' SQL command to open a view that displays the schema
|
|
for the internal tables and any attached databases. If lnav was only
|
|
executed with a SQLite database and no text files, this view will open
|
|
by default.
|
|
* The scroll bar now indicates the location of errors/warnings, search
|
|
hits, and bookmarks.
|
|
* The xterm title is update to reflect the file name for the top line
|
|
in the view.
|
|
* Added a "headless" mode so that you can execute commands and run SQL
|
|
queries from the command-line without having to do it from the curses
|
|
UI.
|
|
* When doing a search or SQL query, any text that is currently being
|
|
displayed can be tab-completed.
|
|
* The '-H' option was added so you can view the internal help text.
|
|
* Added the 'g/G' hotkeys to move to the top/bottom of the file.
|
|
* Added a 'log_mark' column to the log tables that indicates whether or
|
|
not a log message is bookmarked. The field is writable, so you can
|
|
bookmark lines using an SQL UPDATE query.
|
|
* Added syntax-highlighting when editing SQL queries or search regexes.
|
|
* Added a "write-json-to" command that writes the result of a SQL query
|
|
to a JSON-formatted file.
|
|
* The "elapsed time" column now uses red/green coloring to indicate
|
|
sharp changes in the message rate.
|
|
* Added a "set-min-log-level" command to filter out log messages that
|
|
are below a given level.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
* Performance improvements.
|
|
* Multi-line filtering has been fixed.
|
|
* A collator has been added to the log_level column in the log tables
|
|
so that you can write expressions like "log_level > 'warning'".
|
|
* The log_time datetime format now matches what is returned by
|
|
"datetime('now')" so that collating works correctly.
|
|
* If a search string is not valid PCRE syntax, a search is done for
|
|
the exact string instead of just returning an error.
|
|
* Static-linking has been cleaned up.
|
|
* OpenSSL is no longer a requirement.
|
|
* Alpha support for Windows/cygwin.
|
|
* Environment variables can now be accessed in SQL queries using
|
|
the syntax: $VAR_NAME
|
|
* An internal log is kept and written out on a crash.
|
|
* Partition bookmarks are now tracked separately from regular user
|
|
bookmarks. You can start a partition with the 'partition-name'
|
|
command and remove it with the 'clear-partition' command.
|
|
* Improved display of possible matches during tab-completion in the
|
|
command-prompt. The matches are now shown in a separate view and
|
|
pressing tab repeatedly will scroll through the view.
|
|
* The "open" command now does shell word expansion for file names.
|
|
* More config directory paths have been added: /etc/lnav,
|
|
$prefix/etc/lnav, and directories passed on the command-line with -I.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.6.2:
|
|

|
|
* Fix some OS X Mavericks build/runtime issues.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.6.1:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Support for JSON-encoded log files.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
* Some minor fixes and performance improvements.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.6.0:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Custom log formats and more builtin formats
|
|
* Automatic extraction of data from logs
|
|
* UI improvements, support for 256 color terminals
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.5.1:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Added the '-t' and '-w' options which can be used to prepend a
|
|
timestamp to any data piped in on stdin and to specify a file to
|
|
write the contents of stdin to.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
* Cleanup for packaging.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.5.0:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Files can be specified on the command-line using wildcards so that
|
|
new files are automatically loaded. Directories can also be passed
|
|
as command-line arguments to read all of the files in the directory.
|
|
* Builds on cygwin again.
|
|
* Added the 'C' hotkey to clear any existing user bookmarks.
|
|
* Added experimental support for accepting input from mice.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
* Internal cleanup.
|
|
* Copying to the clipboard on OS X is now supported.
|
|
* Many bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.4.0:
|
|
Features:
|
|
* Files that are not recognized as containing log messages have been
|
|
broken out to a separate text files view. You can flip between the
|
|
log view and the text file view with the 't' hotkey. When viewing
|
|
text files, the 'f' hotkey will switch between files.
|
|
* Files compressed with bzip2 are recognized and decompressed on the
|
|
fly.
|
|
* Added a "session" file and command for storing commands that should
|
|
be executed on startup. For example, if you always want some
|
|
highlighting to be done, you can add that command to the session
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
* Add some more log file formats for generic log files.
|
|
* Performance improvements for compressed files.
|
|
* Works on OS X now.
|
|
|
|
lnav v0.3.0:
|
|
Changes:
|
|
* The hotkey for the SQL view was changed to 'v' and 'V' from '.'.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
* You can now switch between the SQL result view and the log view while
|
|
keeping the top of the views in sync with the "line_number" column.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
* The "line_number" column is no longer included in the SQL result view's
|
|
stacked bar graph.
|
|
* Added a "warnings" count to the histogram view.
|
