  • pipeview

    ๐Ÿงช A command line pipe inspection utility.

  • Nice work! I've written something similar based on regexes:

    https://github.com/mihaigalos/pipeview

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • python-logfmter

    Using the stdlib logging module and without changing a single logging call, logfmter supports global (first and third party) logfmt structured logging.

  • Agree with logfmt. I wrote the logfmter python library: https://github.com/jteppinette/python-logfmter. You can quickly have all of your logs (including 3rd party) converted to this style.

  • Serilog.Logfmt

    Simple Serilog formatter to output Logfmt

  • You can use logfmt with Serilog on dotnet too:

    https://github.com/serilog-contrib/Serilog.Logfmt

  • GoAccess

    GoAccess is a real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in *nix systems or through your browser.

  • As mentioned in a sibling comment, https://goaccess.io is probably best for simple analytics on log files.

    If you want to write more complicated queries, lnav exposes log data through SQLite vtables[1]. So, you can do a SQL query and get a simple bar chart visualization.

  • Serilog

    Simple .NET logging with fully-structured events
