Ylogviewer

⚠️ This project is obsolete! See the newer version based on React and PatternFly.

This is an experimental YaST log (y2log) viewer.

Colorization depending on level (orange warnings, red errors)
Show/hide message components (date, time, severity, PID, ...)
Filtering
- By severity (warning, error,...)
- By component (libzypp, UI, storage, ...)
Displays list of the found YaST processes, useful if the log contains several YaST runs
Can read compressed log files (*.gz, *.bz2, *.xz), even whole tar archives created by the save_y2logs script
Local processing, the selected log file is NOT uploaded anywhere, the ylogviewer uses some HTML5 features processes the log completely locally! That has several advantages:
- Speed - nothing is uploaded or downloaded, no bandwidth limitations
- Security - the logs might potentially contain sensitive data, all data stay at your machine!
- Offline mode - the viewer can be used without internet connection, just open the index.html file in your web browser

Here are some ideas how to improve the viewer:

Do not load the hidden components, if you user wants to see them then reload the log
Two passes, first scan the files, display a summary, then let the user choose which parts/files will be loaded
Allow to not load the debug messages (just hiding them is not nice, they still take lot of memory)
Load other files from tarball archives
Bookmarks to easily mark some interesting parts and easily navigate between them (e.g. like in Visual Studio Code)
Improve the code, add comments
Use some tools for merging/minifying all used Javascript files
Use Sass?
