glogv

Description:

glogv is a zerolog log viewer. It converts zerologs standard json tags (time, level, message and error) and makes them more pleasant to view in the console. The output is color coded depending on the log level of the message.

glogv currently only works on linux.

Installation:

go install github.com/cwbriscoe/glogv@latest

Basic Usage:

# this will 'cat' the file and display it in the console
glogv /path/to/file.log

# this will 'tail' the file
glogv -tail /path/to/file.log

# filter through grep to show only certain levels
glogv -tail /path/to/file.log | grep -e ERR -e WRN --color=never -a
# or
glogv -tail /path/to/file.log | awk 'match($2,/WRN|ERR/)'

Also works with rolled log files:

glogv /path/to/file.log.gz

Supports more than one file at a time:

glogv -tail /path/to/file1.log /path/to/file2.log
glogv /path/to/file1.log.gz /path/to/file2.log.gz

Can also be used as a STDIN reader:

# make sure your $GOPATH/bin is in your path
tail --follow=name /path/to/file.log | glogv
# or
cat /path/to/file.log | glogv
# etc
