   Nerdlog: fast, remote-first, multi-host TUI log viewer with timeline histogram and no central server

   

   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 you want to subscribe to it. Looks like it's a popular demand indeed, so I'll at least poke it and see what kind of performance we can get out of it.

   Realtime log viewer with web UI, tail -f for logs with a web interface browser.

   

   This is a really cool project — love the simplicity and the TUI approach, especially with the timeline histogram and remote-first design. We had similar pain points at our end when dealing with logs across many hosts, which led to building Logdy[1] — a tool with a slightly different philosophy.

   Logdy is more web-based and focuses on live tailing, structured log search, and quick filtering across multiple sources, also without requiring a centralized server. Not trying to compare directly, but if you're exploring this space, you might find it useful as a complementary approach or for different scenarios. Although we need to work more on adding ability to query multiple hosts.

   Anyway, kudos on nerdlog—always great to see lean tools in the logging space that don’t require spinning up half a dozen services.
