loro (Loro Only Repeats Output)

What?

loro is a CLI to query AWS CloudWatch-Logs groups, streams and events.

Why?

Sometimes you just want to tail some logs.

How?

Get logs

Get logs for a streamgroup:

loro get /streamgroup/

Select a single stream:

loro get /streamgroup/ -p stream

Print raw logs:

loro get -r /streamgroup/

Tail a log:

loro get -f /streamgroup/

Find streams or groups

List streams

loro list streams /streamgroup/

List groups:

loro list groups /streamgroup/partialname

Get help

All commands contain help documentation by using --help flag

> loro get --help

  loro get [flags]

Flags:
  -f, --follow            Follow log streams
  -o, --format string     Format template for displaying log events (default "[ {{ uniquecolor (print .Stream) }} ] {{ .TimeShort }} - {{ .Event.message }}")
  -h, --help              help for get
  -m, --max-streams int   Maximum number of streams to fetch from (for prefix search) (default 10)
  -p, --prefix string     Stream Name or prefix
  -r, --raw               Raw JSON output

Inspiration and Sources

Notes

Why create a new piece of software?

segmentio/cwlogs Is great, not only a big inspiration for LORO but also a big part of the lib codebase was forked from them. But, its built for supporting segment.io log format and while that makes sense and works great, its not generic enought for many other cases or supporting other log formats
jorgebastida/awslogs I believe binary distribution is better for this tool and golang is a more powerfull and faster language when dealing with many logs

Hence it made sense to separate the repository, but I still would like to credit again segmentio/cwlogs and the Segment team for their work as it provides the base for this software.
