User Interface
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
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 in the file spatially, the right
|
|
side of the display has a proportionally sized 'scrollbar' that
|
|
indicates your current position in the file.
|
|
|
|
Above and below the main body are status lines that display:
|
|
|
|
* the current time;
|
|
* the name of the file the top line was pulled from;
|
|
* the log format for the top line;
|
|
* the current view;
|
|
* the line number for the top line in the display;
|
|
* the total number of warnings and errors;
|
|
* the number of search hits, which updates as more are found; and
|
|
* the number of lines not displayed because of filtering.
|
|
|
|
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 by
|
|
the readline library, so the usual set of keyboard shortcuts can
|
|
be used.
|
|
|
|
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.
