Hey mcint, fyi both of these issues are addressed: the localhost one is addressed for real, and a Match issue is worked around: while it's still not properly implemented, at least …

Yeah, I agree. Gonna try and get it done on some weekend. Thanks for trying it out, and for all the suggestions, very helpful!

Thanks for sharing! Good to know that nerdlog turns out to be helpful not only for devs (the original use case), but also for DevOps :) Fyi, support for journalctl was added to mas…

I see, interesting. If you don't mind me asking, is it a sysadmin kind of job? Just trying to understand the use case better. Regardless, journalctl support is the single most requ…

Yeah well the 2-files limitation is mentioned in some other place; but I agree this section could be rephrased to make it more clear too.

I only had the blood circulation issues from compression during sleeping, and also had no idea until today that the nerve damage like that is possible. I wonder how could it be pre…

Damn I'm sorry to hear that. I'll see if I can get void linux installed somewhere to test it. Good luck with whatever you're going through!

Fyi I've done a simple benchmark today, and journalctl is indeed a lot slower than simply reading log files. In case you're interested: https://github.com/dimonomid/nerdlog/issues/…

I don't think there's anything wrong with this format, it looks good. The most important thing for nerdlog is that all components of the timestamp must be at the fixed offsets from…

Fyi I was going to create a Github issue for the journald support, but apparently someone else filed it first: https://github.com/dimonomid/nerdlog/issues/7 Just posting it in case…

Sorry to hear you're having issues. I'll try to reproduce and fix the issue with the Match. Not sure if that "Thanks" for releasing early is sarcastic, but regardless, I appreciate…

That's good news that we have /var/log/socklog/everything/current, but I'm also trying to figure the format. Is it like this? (sourced from chatgpt) 2025-04-21 12:34:56 myhostname …

Thanks, appreciate that!

Re: the date/time format, I was thinking about implementing support for an option like timefmt, so you'd be able to do :set timefmt=2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00 , but postponed for no…

Thanks. And no, as of today, there's no way to define a group like that. Might be a viable idea though. However, before we go there, I want to double check that we're on the same p…

I first responded before your edit about ssh and localhost, so: yeah, as briefly mentioned in the article, as of today there's no shortcut even for localhost. I was debating whethe…

Yeah you're right, agree with both of your points. The `go get` one should be easy to solve though, and my bad for not thinking of it before, thanks. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah it would be great, and I do want to support it, especially if the demand is popular. In fact, even if you ungzip them manually, as of today nerdlog do…

Thanks, and yeah getting distro packages would be dope. Hopefully, some day.

Not really, at least not yet, because nerdlog's focus is very different than that of lnav. There is a section about it in the article as well. In fact nerdlog doesn't even support …

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see what I can do. But for now, do you think the workaround of having to install rsyslog is not good enough?

Yeah right, my bad, and thanks for reminding me. Just added one (the BSD 2-clause).

That's true, as of today nerdlog doesn't use journalctl, and needs plain log files. There were a few reasons of that, primarily related to the sheer amount of logs that we were dea…
