24 alternatives to prettylog.net

Hey HN, I often check raw logs - out/error.log, nginx's access.log, etc, but they're hard to read So I built beautiful parser & formatter with filtering and syntax highlighting PrettyLog supports many common log formats out of the box: - nginx access logs - Apache error logs - Syslog (RFC 5424) - Logfmt (Heroku/Go style) - Docker logs - standard/node.js logs - Spring Boot logs - AWS VPC Flow logs - Kubernetes kubectl get events If you need something specific, you can use custom regex parser. Processing is 100% local. Your data never leaves the browser. I hope you find it as…

    Hey HN, we’re Nico and Arseniy, co-founders of Superlog (https://superlog.sh). We're building a self-installing, self healing observability tool meant not to be opened. It has a wizard that daily sets up proper logging and an agent that investigates errors and opens PRs. Super short demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFhU9Mk247M. In our earlier startups, we tried Sentry, Datadog, Grafana, Dash0, and nothing was good enough. Proper telemetry and alerting still requires a ton of manual setup. We struggled with adding good logs, so debugging was tough, especially as…

    Hello everyone, there are many log services available and this is my attempt at a better one. Most online logging tools feature convoluted UIs, arbitrary mandatory fields, questionable AI/insights, complex pricing, etc. I hope my application fixes most of these issues. It also has some nice features, such as automatic Geo IP checks and public dashboards. Although I've created lots of software, this is my first open source application (MIT license), the tutorial for selfhosting is hopefully sufficient! Most of my development career has been with C#, NodeJS and PHP. For this project I've…

    Hi HN, I'm the creator of LogLens. Like many of you, I spend a lot of time digging through massive structured (mostly JSON) log files. I've always relied on grep for its speed and then piped to jq for the actual filtering, but I find this workflow gets slow and complicated, especially with multi-GB files or complex queries. LogLens is my attempt to fix this. It's a single, fast CLI tool written in Rust that's designed specifically for structured logs. It combines a simple SQL-like query language (e.g., loglens query './logs' 'level == "error" && status >= 500') with parallel,…

    I don't like the existing query languages for Elasticsearch and Grafana Loki, because they are too awkward to use for typical logs' investigation cases. So I designed new query language - LogsQL - and wrote reference implementation for it as a part of VictoriaLogs - an open source database for logs. LogsQL is based on the following principles: - Simplicity. It is easy to write typical queries over logs in it. For example, a single word `error` is a valid LogsQL query, which returns all the logs with the `error` word. Another example is `_time:5m error`, which returns all the logs with the…

    Hey HN, Some of you were really interested in Postgres logging with pgAudit in my previous post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37082827 So I built this logger: https://rocketgraph.io/logger-demo using pgAudit to show you what can be done with Postgres auditing. It offers some powerful features like "get me all the CREATE queries that ran in the past hour". These are generated by AWS RDS Instance running on my Rocketgraph account. Then they are forwarded to Cloudwatch for complex querying. In the future we can connect these logs to slack so you can…

    Interactive Smartlog is a graphical VSCode extension that presents a simplified view of the Git log, directly highlighting the branches and commits that are most relevant to your current work. And it's not just a visual tool — it's fully interactive, allowing you to add/switch/remove branches, stage/unstage files, and manage commits directly from the GUI. This tool draws inspiration from Meta's Interactive Smartlog built for the Sapling source control system, and I've adapted it to work with Git. Transitioning the functionality from Sapling to Git wasn't just about a…

    Hello I'm Jack, I was previously a Site Reliability Engineer and i've been working on monitro.dev which makes log monitoring simple for individuals or small teams. It allows you to easily forward any logs to multiple channels such as Slack, Discord & Telegram. The events are also viewable though the admin dashboard and are easily filterable. Currently there is only an NPM package with javascript / typescript support but i have plans to expand this to other languages such as Python, Rust etc. The package has many options, one of them is forwarding any uncaught exception and as an event…

    As a longtime TypeScript/Node.js developer, I've often faced challenges with logging—choosing, using, and maintaining the right logger for various projects. While most loggers offer the usual methods like "info", "warn", and "error", they vary significantly in how they handle structured metadata or Error objects. This can lead to ad-hoc solutions, like serializing errors or writing custom pipelines, just to get logs formatted correctly. I built LogLayer to address these pain points by introducing a fluid, expressive API. With methods like "withMetadata" and "withError", LogLayer…
