v0.8.0

Features:

  • Integration with "papertrailapp.com" for querying and tailing
    server log and syslog messages. See the Papertrail section in
    the online help for more details.
  • Remote files can be opened when lnav is built with libcurl v7.23.0+
  • SQL queries can now be done on lines that match a regular expression
    using the "log_search" table or by creating custom tables with the
    ":create-search-table" command.
  • Log formats that are "containers" for other log formats, like
    syslog, are now supported. See the online help for more
    information.
  • Formats can be installed from git repositories using the '-i' option.
    A standard set of extra formats can be installed by doing
    'lnav -i extra'. (You must have git installed for this to work.)
  • Added support for 'VMware vSphere Auto Deploy' log format.
  • Added a 'sudo' log format.
  • Added hotkeys to move left/right by a smaller increment (H/L or
    Shift+Left/Shift+Right).
  • A color-coded bar has been added to the left side to show where
    messages from one file stop and messages from another file start.
  • The '-C' option will now try to check any specified log files to
    make sure the format(s) match all of the lines.
  • Added an "all_logs" SQLite table that contains the message format
    extracted from each log line. Also added a ';.msgformat' SQL command
    that executes a query that returns the counts for each format and the
    first line where the format was seen.
  • Added an "lnav_views" SQLite table that can be used to query and
    change the lnav view state.
  • When typing in a command, the status bar will display a short
    summary of the currently entered command.
  • Added a "delete-filter" command.
  • Added a "log_msg_instance" column to the logline and log_search
    tables to make it easier to join tables that are matching log
    messages that are ordered.
  • Added a "timeslice()" function to SQLite so that it is easier to
    group log messages by time buckets.
  • The 'goto' command now supports relative time values like
    'a minute ago', 'an hour later', and many more.

Interface Changes:

  • The 'r/R' hotkeys have been reassigned to navigate through the log
    messages by the relative time value that was last used with the
    'goto' command.

Fixes:

  • The pretty-print view should now work for text files.
  • Nested fields in JSON logs are now supported for levels, bodies, etc...
  • Tab-completion should work for quoted SQL identifiers.
  • 'lo-fi' mode key shortcut changed to CTRL+L.
  • 'redraw' shortcut removed. Relegated to just a command.
  • Fixed lnav hang in pretty-print mode while doing a dns lookup.
  • The generic log message parser used to extract data has been
    optimized and should be a bit faster.
