The number of +warnings and errors are highlighted in the display so that you can easily see +where problems have occurred. Once you have found a period of time that is of +interest, a key-press will take you back to the log message view at the +corresponding time. + +![Screenshot of timeline view](/assets/images/lnav-hist.png) + +## Pretty-Print View + +The pretty-print view will reformat structured data, like XML or JSON, so that +it is easier to read. Simply press SHIFT+P in the log view to have all the +currently displayed lines pretty-printed. + +The following screenshot shows an XML blob with no indentation: + +![A flat blob of XML](/assets/images/lnav-before-pretty.png) + +After pressing SHIFT+P, the XML is pretty-printed for easier viewing: + +![A pretty-printed blob of XML](/assets/images/lnav-after-pretty.png) + +## Query Logs Using SQL + +Log files are directly used as the backing for SQLite virtual tables. This +means you can perform queries on messages without having to load the data into +an SQL database. For example, the screenshot below shows the result of +running the following query against an Apache access_log file: + +```sql +SELECT c_ip, count(*), sum(sc_bytes) AS total FROM access_log + GROUP BY c_ip ORDER BY total DESC; +``` + +![The results of a SQL query](/assets/images/lnav-query.png) + +## "Live" Operation + +Searches are done as you type; new log lines are automatically loaded and +searched as they are added; filters apply to lines as they are loaded; and, SQL +queries are checked for correctness as you type. + +## Themes + +The UI can be [customized through themes](https://lnav.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html#theme-definitions). + +![Animation of the UI cycling through themes](/assets/images/lnav-theme-cycle.gif) + +## Syntax Highlighting + +Errors and warnings are colored in red and yellow, respectively. Highlights are +also applied to: SQL keywords, XML tags, file and line numbers in Java +backtraces, and quoted strings. The search and SQL query prompt are also +highlighted as you type, making it easier to see errors and matching brackets. + +![Animation of syntax highlighting](/assets/images/lnav-syntax-highlight.gif) + +## Tab-completion + +The command prompt supports tab-completion for almost all operations. For +example, when doing a search, you can tab-complete words that are displayed on +screen rather than having to do a copy & paste. + +![Animation of TAB-completion](/assets/images/lnav-tab-complete.gif) + +## Custom Keymaps + +[Hotkeys can be customized](https://lnav.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html#keymap-definitions) +to run lnav commands or scripts. + +## Sessions + +Session information is saved automatically and restored when you are viewing the +same set of files. The current location in files, bookmarks, and applied filters +are all saved as part of the session. + +## Headless Mode + +The log processing features of lnav can be used in scripts if you have a canned +set of operations or queries that you want to perform regularly. You can enable +headless mode with the '-n' switch on the command-line and then use the '-c' +flag to specify the commands or queries you want to execute.

digestible by machines is becoming a concern as tools like +elasticsearch become more popular.

They wanted the XML pretty-printed and were +hoping that could be done by just piping the message to xmlpp or the like. So, +first we implemented the 'pipe-to' and 'pipe-line-to' commands that will let you +pipe log messages to a command and then display the result inside of lnav. That +worked well enough, but pretty-printing is such a frequent operation that having +to execute a command was kind of a pain. It would also be nice if it worked for +a variety of text, like JSON or Python data. The solution we came up with was to +leverage the existing code for parsing log messages to create a simple +pretty-printer that should work for most data formats. Another benefit is that +the log message does not have to be well-formed for the printer to work, any +leading or trailing garbage shouldn't confuse things. + +As an example, here is a screenshot of the log message with the unformatted XML +text with word-wrapping turned on: + +![Screenshot of raw XML](/assets/images/lnav-before-pretty.png) + +That's not very easy to read and it's hard to figure out the structure of the +message.

You can activate the command +prompt by pressing the :kbd:`:` key. At the prompt, you can start typing +in the desired command and/or double-tap :kbd:`TAB` to activate +auto-completion and show the available commands. To guide you in the usage of +the commands, a help window will appear above the command prompt with an +explanation of the command and its parameters (if it has any). For example, +the screenshot below shows the help for the :code:`:open` command: + +.. figure:: open-help.png + :align: center + :figwidth: 50% + + Screenshot of the online help for the :code:`:open` command. + +In addition to online help, many commands provide a preview of the effects that +the command will have. This preview will activate shortly after you have +finished typing, but before you have pressed :kbd:`Enter` to execute the +command. For example, the :code:`:open` command will show a preview of the +first few lines of the file given as its argument: + +.. figure:: open-preview.png + :align: center + + Screenshot of the preview shown for the :code:`:open` command. + +The :lnavcmd:`:filter-out pattern` command is another instance where the preview behavior +can help you craft the correct command-line.

The preview for this command will highlight the portion of the log +messages that match the expression in red.

For example, the + TAB-completion for the :code:`filter-in` command will suggest words that are + currently displayed in the view. + +.. note:: The following commands can be disabled by setting the ``LNAVSECURE`` + environment variable before executing the **lnav** binary: + + - :code:`:open` + - :code:`:pipe-to` + - :code:`:pipe-line-to` + - :code:`:write-*-to` + + This makes it easier to run **lnav** in restricted environments without the + risk of privilege escalation. + +I/O Commands +------------ + +Anonymization +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Anonymization is the process of removing identifying information from content +to make it safer for sharing with others.

A theme is +made up of the style definitions for different types of text in the UI. A +:ref:`definition<theme_style>` can include the foreground/background colors +and the bold/underline attributes. The style definitions are broken up into +multiple categories for the sake of organization. To make it easier to write +a definition, a theme can define variables that can be referenced as color +values. + +Variables +^^^^^^^^^ + +The :code:`vars` object in a theme definition contains the mapping of variable +names to color values. These variables can be referenced in style definitions +by prefixing them with a dollar-sign (e.g. :code:`$black`). The following +variables can also be defined to control the values of the ANSI colors that +are log messages or plain text: + +.. csv-table:: ANSI colors + :header: "Variable Name", "ANSI Escape" + + "black", "ESC[30m" + "red", "ESC[31m" + "green", "ESC[32m" + "yellow", "ESC[33m" + "blue", "ESC[34m" + "magenta", "ESC[35m" + "cyan", "ESC[36m" + "white", "ESC[37m" + +Specifying Colors +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Colors can be specified using hexadecimal notation by starting with a hash +(e.g. :code:`#aabbcc`) or using a color name as found at +http://jonasjacek.github.io/colors/. If colors are not specified for a style, +the values from the :code:`styles/text` definition. + +.. note:: + + When specifying colors in hexadecimal notation, you do not need to have an + exact match in the XTerm 256 color palette. A best approximation will be + picked based on the `CIEDE2000 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference#CIEDE2000>`_ + color difference algorithm. + + + +Example +^^^^^^^ + +The following example sets the black/background color for text to a dark grey +using a variable and sets the foreground to an off-white. This theme is +incomplete, but it works enough to give you an idea of how a theme is defined. +You can copy the code block, save it to a file in +:file:`~/.lnav/configs/installed/` and then activate it by executing +:code:`:config /ui/theme example` in lnav.

When a key is +pressed, it is converted into a hex-encoded string that is looked up in the +keymap. The :code:`command` value associated with the entry in the keymap is +then executed. Note that the "command" can be an **lnav** +:ref:`command<commands>`, a :ref:`SQL statement/query<sql-ext>`, or an +**lnav** script. If an :code:`alt-msg` value is included in the entry, the +bottom-right section of the UI will be updated with the help text. + +.. note:: + + Not all functionality is available via commands or SQL at the moment. Also, + some hotkeys are not implemented via keymaps. + +Key Sequence Encoding +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Key presses are converted into a hex-encoded string that is used to lookup an +entry in the keymap. Each byte of the keypress value is formatted as an +:code:`x` followed by the hex-encoding in lowercase. For example, the encoding +for the £ key would be :code:`xc2xa3`. To make it easier to discover the +encoding for unassigned keys, **lnav** will print in the command prompt the +:code:`:config` command and +`JSON-Pointer <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901>`_ for assigning a command +to the key. + +.. figure:: key-encoding-prompt.png + :align: center + + Screenshot of the command prompt when an unassigned key is pressed. + +.. note:: + + Since **lnav** is a terminal application, it can only receive keypresses that + can be represented as characters or escape sequences. For example, it cannot + handle the press of a modifier key. + +Reference +^^^^^^^^^ + +.. jsonschema:: ../schemas/config-v1.schema.json#/properties/ui/properties/keymap-defs/patternProperties/([\w\-]+) + + +Log Handling +------------ + +The handling of logs is largely determined by the +:ref:`log file formats<log_formats>`, this section covers options that are not +specific to a particular format. + +Watch Expressions (v0.11.0+) +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Watch expressions can be used to fire an event when a log message matches a +condition. You can then install a listener for these events and trigger an +action to be performed. For example, to automate filtering based on +identifiers, a watch expression can match messages that mention the ID and then +a trigger can install a filter for that ID. Creating a watch expression is +done by adding an entry into the :code:`/log/watch-expressions` configuration +tree. For example, to create a watch named "dhcpdiscover" that matches +DHCPDISCOVER messages from the :code:`dhclient` daemon, you would run the +following: + +.. code-block:: lnav + + :config /log/watch-expressions/dhcpdiscover/expr :log_procname = 'dhclient' AND startswith(:log_body, 'DHCPDISCOVER') + +The watch expression can refer to column names in the log message by prefixing +them with a colon. The expression is evaluated by passing the log message +fields as bound parameters and not against a table. The easiest way to test +out an expression is with the :ref:`mark_expr` command, since it will behave +similarly. After changing the configuration, you'll need to restart lnav +for the effect to take place. You can then query the :code:`lnav_events` +table to see any generated +:code:`https://lnav.org/event-log-msg-detected-v1.schema.json` events from the +logs that were loaded: + +.. code-block:: custsqlite + + ;SELECT * FROM lnav_events + +From there, you can create a SQLite trigger on the :code:`lnav_events` table +that will examine the event contents and perform an action.

The data +parser will also look for pairs separated by a colon.

The SQLite database engine is +embedded into **lnav** and its `Virtual Table +<http://www.sqlite.org/vtab.html>`_ mechanism is used to provide a means to +process this log data. Each log format has its own table that can be used to +access all of the loaded messages that are in that format. For accessing log +message content that is more free-form, like the examples given here, the +**logline** table can be used. The **logline** table is recreated for each +query and is based on the format and pairs discovered in the log message at +the top of the display. + +Queries can be performed by pressing the semi-colon (;) key in **lnav**. After +pressing the key, the overlay showing any known or discovered fields will be +displayed to give you an idea of what data is available. The query can be any +`SQL query <http://sqlite.org/lang.html>`_ supported by SQLite.

Many +formats are already built in to the **lnav** binary and you can define your own +using a JSON file. When loading files, each format is checked to see if it can +parse the first few lines in the file. Once a match is found, that format will +be considered that files format and used to parse the remaining lines in the +file.

The Bro log format is + self-describing, so **lnav** will read the header to determine the shape of + the file. +* The + `W3C Extended Log File Format <https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-logfile.html>`_ + is supported in lnav versions v0.10.0+. The W3C log format is + self-describing, so **lnav** will read the header to determine the shape of + the file. + +There is also basic support for the `logfmt <https://brandur.org/logfmt>`_ +convention for formatting log messages. Files that use this format must +have the entire line be key/value pairs and the timestamp contained in a +field named :code:`time` or :code:`ts`. If the file you're using does not +quite follow this formatting, but wraps logfmt data with another recognized +format, you can use the :ref:`logfmt2json` SQL function to convert the data +into JSON for further analysis. + + +Defining a New Format +--------------------- + +New log formats can be defined by placing JSON configuration files in +subdirectories of the :file:`/etc/lnav/formats` and :file:`~/.lnav/formats/` +directories. The directories and files can be named anything you like, but the +files must have the '.json' suffix. A sample file containing the builtin +configuration will be written to this directory when **lnav** starts up. +You can consult that file when writing your own formats or if you need to +modify existing ones. Format directories can also contain '.sql' and '.lnav' +script files that can be used automate log file analysis. + +Creating a Format Using Regex101.com (v0.11.0+) +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +For plain-text log files, the easiest way to create a log format definition is +to create the regular expression that recognizes log messages using +https://regex101.com . Simply copy a log line into the test string input box +on the site and then start editing the regular expression. When building the +regular expression, you'll want to use named captures for the structured parts +of the log message. Any raw message text should be matched by a captured named +"body". Once you have a regex that matches the whole log message, you can use +**lnav**'s "management CLI" to create a skeleton format file. The skeleton +will be populated with the regular expression from the site and the test +string, along with any unit tests, will be added to the "samples" list. The +"regex101 import" management command is used to create the skeleton and has +the following form: + +.. prompt:: bash + + lnav -m regex101 import <regex101-url> <format-name> [<regex-name>] + +If the import was successful, the path to the new format file should be +printed out. The skeleton will most likely need some changes to make it +fully functional. For example, the :code:`kind` properties for captured values +default to :code:`string`, but you'll want to change them to the appropriate +type. + +Format File Reference +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +An **lnav** format file must contain a single JSON object, preferably with a +:code:`$schema` property that refers to the +`format-v1.schema <https://lnav.org/schemas/format-v1.schema.json>`_, +like so: + +.. code-block:: json + + { + "$schema": "https://lnav.org/schemas/format-v1.schema.json" + } + +Each format to be defined in the file should be a separate field in the top-level +object. The field name should be the symbolic name of the format and consist +only of alphanumeric characters and underscores. This value will also be used +as the SQL table name for the log. The value for each field should be another +object with the following fields: + +:title: The short and human-readable name for the format. +:description: A longer description of the format. +:url: A URL to the definition of the format. + +:file-pattern: A regular expression used to match log file paths. Typically, + every file format will be tried during the detection process. This field + can be used to limit which files a format is applied to in case there is + a potential for conflicts. + +.. _format_regex: + +:regex: This object contains sub-objects that describe the message formats + to match in a plain-text log file. Each :code:`regex` MUST only match one + type of log message. It must not match log messages that are matched by + other regexes in this format. This uniqueness requirement is necessary + because **lnav** will "lock-on" to a regex and use it to match against + the next line in a file. So, if the regexes do not uniquely match each + type of log message, messages can be matched by the wrong regex. The + "lock-on" behavior is needed to avoid the performance hit of having to + try too many different regexes. + + .. note:: Log files that contain JSON messages should not specify this field. + + :pattern: The regular expression that should be used to match log messages. + The `PCRE2 <http://www.pcre.org>`_ library is used by **lnav** to do all + regular expression matching. + + :module-format: If true, this regex will only be used to parse message + bodies for formats that can act as containers, such as syslog. Default: + false. + +:json: True if each log line is JSON-encoded. + +:line-format: An array that specifies the text format for JSON-encoded + log messages. Log files that are JSON-encoded will have each message + converted from the raw JSON encoding into this format. Each element + is either an object that defines which fields should be inserted into + the final message string and or a string constant that should be + inserted. For example, the following configuration will transform each + log message object into a string that contains the timestamp, followed + by a space, and then the message body: + + .. code-block:: json + + [ { "field": "ts" }, " ", { "field": "msg" } ] + + .. note:: Line-feeds at the end of a value are automatically stripped. + + :field: The name or `JSON-Pointer <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901>`_ + of the message field that should be inserted at this point in the + message. The special :code:`__timestamp__` field name can be used to + insert a human-readable timestamp. The :code:`__level__` field can be + used to insert the level name as defined by lnav. + + .. tip:: + + Use a JSON-Pointer to reference nested fields. For example, to include + a "procname" property that is nested in a "details" object, you would + write the field reference as :code:`/details/procname`. + + :min-width: The minimum width for the field. If the value for the field + in a given log message is shorter, padding will be added as needed to + meet the minimum-width requirement. (v0.8.2+) + :max-width: The maximum width for the field. If the value for the field + in a given log message is longer, the overflow algorithm will be applied + to try and shorten the field. (v0.8.2+) + :auto-width: Flag that indicates that the width of the field should + automatically be set to the widest value seen. (v0.11.2) + :align: Specifies the alignment for the field, either "left" or "right". + If "left", padding to meet the minimum-width will be added on the right. + If "right", padding will be added on the left. (v0.8.2+) + :overflow: The algorithm used to shorten a field that is longer than + "max-width". The following algorithms are supported: + + :abbrev: Removes all but the first letter in dotted text. For example, + "com.example.foo" would be shortened to "c.e.foo". + :truncate: Truncates any text past the maximum width. + :dot-dot: Cuts out the middle of the text and replaces it with two + dots (i.e. '..'). + + (v0.8.2+) + :timestamp-format: The timestamp format to use when displaying the time + for this log message. (v0.8.2+) + :default-value: The default value to use if the field could not be found + in the current log message. The built-in default is "-". + :text-transform: Transform the text in the field. Supported options are: + none, uppercase, lowercase, capitalize + :prefix: Text to prepend to the value. If the value is empty, this prefix + will not be added. + :suffix: Text to append to the value. If the value is empty, this suffix + will not be added. + +:timestamp-field: The name of the field that contains the log message + timestamp. Defaults to "timestamp". + +:timestamp-format: An array of timestamp formats using a subset of the + strftime conversion specification. The following conversions are + supported: %a, %b, %L, %M, %H, %I, %d, %e, %k, %l, %m, %p, %y, %Y, %S, %s, + %Z, %z. In addition, you can also use the following: + + :%L: Milliseconds as a decimal number (range 000 to 999). + :%f: Microseconds as a decimal number (range 000000 to 999999). + :%N: Nanoseconds as a decimal number (range 000000000 to 999999999). + :%q: Seconds from the epoch as a hexidecimal number. + :%i: Milliseconds from the epoch. + :%6: Microseconds from the epoch. + +:timestamp-divisor: For JSON logs with numeric timestamps, this value is used + to divide the timestamp by to get the number of seconds and fractional + seconds. + +:subsecond-field: (v0.11.1+) The path to the property in a JSON-lines log + message that contains the sub-second time value + +:subsecond-units: (v0.11.1+) The units of the subsecond-field property value. + The following values are supported: + + :milli: for milliseconds + :micro: for microseconds + :nano: for nanoseconds + +:ordered-by-time: (v0.8.3+) Indicates that the order of messages in the file + is time-based. Files that are not naturally ordered by time will be sorted + in order to display them in the correct order. Note that this sorting can + incur a performance penalty when tailing logs. + +:level-field: The name of the regex capture group that contains the log + message level. Defaults to "level". + +:body-field: The name of the field that contains the main body of the + message. Defaults to "body". + +:opid-field: The name of the field that contains the "operation ID" of the + message. An "operation ID" establishes a thread of messages that might + correspond to a particular operation/request/transaction. The user can + press the 'o' or 'Shift+O' hotkeys to move forward/backward through the + list of messages that have the same operation ID. Note: For JSON-encoded + logs, the opid field can be a path (e.g. "foo/bar/opid") if the field is + nested in an object and it MUST be included in the "line-format" for the + 'o' hotkeys to work. + +:module-field: The name of the field that contains the module identifier + that distinguishes messages from one log source from another. This field + should be used if this message format can act as a container for other + types of log messages. For example, an Apache access log can be sent to + syslog instead of written to a file. In this case, **lnav** will parse + the syslog message and then separately parse the body of the message to + determine the "sub" format. This module identifier is used to help + **lnav** quickly identify the format to use when parsing message bodies. + +:hide-extra: A boolean for JSON logs that indicates whether fields not + present in the line-format should be displayed on their own lines. + +:level: A mapping of error levels to regular expressions. During scanning + the contents of the capture group specified by *level-field* will be + checked against each of these regexes. Once a match is found, the log + message level will set to the corresponding level. The available levels, + in order of severity, are: **fatal**, **critical**, **error**, + **warning**, **stats**, **info**, **debug**, **debug2-5**, **trace**. + For JSON logs with exact numeric levels, the number for the corresponding + level can be supplied. If the JSON log format uses numeric ranges instead + of exact numbers, you can supply a pattern and the number found in the log + will be converted to a string for pattern-matching. + + .. note:: The regular expression is not anchored to the start of the + string by default, so an expression like :code:`1` will match + :code:`-1`. If you want to exactly match :code:`1`, you would + use :code:`^1$` as the expression. + +:multiline: If false, **lnav** will consider any log lines that do not + match one of the message patterns to be in error when checking files with + the '-C' option. This flag will not affect normal viewing operation. + Default: true. + +:value: This object contains the definitions for the values captured by the + regexes. + + :kind: The type of data that was captured **string**, **integer**, + **float**, **json**, **quoted**. + :collate: The name of the SQLite collation function for this value. + The standard SQLite collation functions can be used as well as the + ones defined by lnav, as described in :ref:`collators`. + :identifier: A boolean that indicates whether or not this field represents + an identifier and should be syntax colored. + :foreign-key: A boolean that indicates that this field is a key and should + not be graphed. This should only need to be set for integer fields. + :hidden: A boolean for log fields that indicates whether they should + be displayed. The behavior is slightly different for JSON logs and text + logs. For a JSON log, this property determines whether an extra line + will be added with the key/value pair. For text logs, this property + controls whether the value should be displayed by default or replaced + with an ellipsis. + :rewriter: A command to rewrite this field when pretty-printing log + messages containing this value. The command must start with ':', ';', + or '|' to signify whether it is a regular command, SQL query, or a script + to be executed. The other fields in the line are accessible in SQL by + using the ':' prefix. The text value of this field will then be replaced + with the result of the command when pretty-printing. For example, the + HTTP access log format will rewrite the status code field to include the + textual version (e.g. 200 (OK)) using the following SQL query: + + .. code-block:: sql + + ;SELECT :sc_status || ' (' || ( + SELECT message FROM http_status_codes + WHERE status = :sc_status) || ') ' + +:tags: This object contains the tags that should automatically be added to + log messages. + + :pattern: The regular expression evaluated over a line in the log file as + it is read in. If there is a match, the log message the line is a part + of will have this tag added to it. + :paths: This array contains objects that define restrictions on the file + paths that the tags will be applied to. The objects in this array can + contain: + + :glob: A glob pattern to check against the log files read by lnav. + +.. _format_sample: + +:sample: A list of objects that contain sample log messages. All formats + must include at least one sample and it must be matched by one of the + included regexes. Each object must contain the following field: + + :line: The sample message. + :level: The expected error level. An error will be raised if this level + does not match the level parsed by lnav for this sample message. + +:highlights: This object contains the definitions for patterns to be + highlighted in a log message. Each entry should have a name and a + definition with the following fields: + + :pattern: The regular expression to match in the log message body. + :color: The foreground color to use when highlighting the part of the + message that matched the pattern. If no color is specified, one will be + picked automatically. Colors can be specified using hexadecimal notation + by starting with a hash (e.g. #aabbcc) or using a color name as found + at http://jonasjacek.github.io/colors/. + :background-color: The background color to use when highlighting the part + of the message that matched the pattern. If no background color is + specified, black will be used. The background color is only considered + if a foreground color is specified. + :underline: If true, underline the part of the message that matched the + pattern. + :blink: If true, blink the part of the message that matched the pattern. + +Example format: + +.. code-block:: json + + { + "$schema": "https://lnav.org/schemas/format-v1.schema.json", + "example_log" : { + "title" : "Example Log Format", + "description" : "Log format used in the documentation example.", + "url" : "http://example.com/log-format.html", + "regex" : { + "basic" : { + "pattern" : "^(?<timestamp>\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}T\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}\\.\\d{3}Z)>>(?<level>\\w+)>>(?<component>\\w+)>>(?<body>.*)$" + } + }, + "level-field" : "level", + "level" : { + "error" : "ERROR", + "warning" : "WARNING" + }, + "value" : { + "component" : { + "kind" : "string", + "identifier" : true + } + }, + "sample" : [ + { + "line" : "2011-04-01T15:14:34.203Z>>ERROR>>core>>Shit's on fire yo!" + } + ] + } + } + +Patching an Existing Format +--------------------------- + +When loading log formats from files, **lnav** will overlay any new data over +previously loaded data. This feature allows you to override existing value or +append new ones to the format configurations. For example, you can separately +add a new regex to the example log format given above by creating another file +with the following contents: + +.. code-block:: json + + { + "$schema": "https://lnav.org/schemas/format-v1.schema.json", + "example_log" : { + "regex" : { + "custom1" : { + "pattern" : "^(?<timestamp>\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}T\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}\\.\\d{3}Z)<<(?<level>\\w+)--(?<component>\\w+)>>(?<body>.*)$" + } + }, + "sample" : [ + { + "line" : "2011-04-01T15:14:34.203Z<<ERROR--core>>Shit's on fire yo!" + } + ] + } + } + + +This example overrides the default `syslog_log <https://github.com/tstack/lnav/blob/master/src/formats/syslog_log.json>`_ +error detection regex to **not** match the :code:`errors=` string. + +.. code-block:: json + + { + "syslog_log": { + "level": { + "error": "(?:(?:(?<![a-zA-Z]))(?:(?i)error(?:s)?(?!=))(?:(?![a-zA-Z]))|failed|failure)" + } + } + } + + +.. _scripts: + +Scripts +------- + +Format directories may also contain :file:`.sql` and :file:`.lnav` files to help automate +log file analysis. The SQL files are executed on startup to create any helper +tables or views and the '.lnav' script files can be executed using the pipe +hotkey :kbd:`|`. For example, **lnav** includes a "partition-by-boot" script that +partitions the log view based on boot messages from the Linux kernel. A script +can have a mix of SQL and **lnav** commands, as well as include other scripts. +The type of statement to execute is determined by the leading character on a +line: a semi-colon begins a SQL statement; a colon starts an **lnav** command; +and a pipe :code:`|` denotes another script to be executed. Lines beginning with a +hash are treated as comments. The following variables are defined in a script: + +.. envvar:: # + + The number of arguments passed to the script. + +.. envvar:: __all__ + + A string containing all the arguments joined by a single space. + +.. envvar:: 0 + + The path to the script being executed. + +.. envvar:: 1-N + + The arguments passed to the script. + +Remember that you need to use the :ref:`:eval<eval>` command when referencing +variables in most **lnav** commands. Scripts can provide help text to be +displayed during interactive usage by adding the following tags in a comment +header: + + :@synopsis: The synopsis should contain the name of the script and any + parameters to be passed. For example:: + + # @synopsis: hello-world <name1> [<name2> ... <nameN>] + + :@description: A one-line description of what the script does. For example:: + + # @description: Say hello to the given names. + + + +.. tip:: + + The :ref:`:eval<eval>` command can be used to do variable substitution for + commands that do not natively support it. For example, to substitute the + variable, :code:`pattern`, in a :ref:`:filter-out<filter_out>` command: + + .. code-block:: lnav + + :eval :filter-out ${pattern} + +VSCode Extension +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The `lnav VSCode Extension <https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=lnav.lnav>`_ +can be installed to add syntax highlighting to lnav scripts. + +Installing Formats +------------------ + +File formats are loaded from subdirectories in :file:`/etc/lnav/formats` and +:file:`~/.lnav/formats/`. You can manually create these subdirectories and +copy the format files into there. Or, you can pass the '-i' option to **lnav** +to automatically install formats from the command-line. For example: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ lnav -i myformat.json + info: installed: /home/example/.lnav/formats/installed/myformat_log.json + +Format files installed using this method will be placed in the :file:`installed` +subdirectory and named based on the first format name found in the file. + +You can also install formats from git repositories by passing the repository's +clone URL. A standard set of repositories is maintained at +(https://github.com/tstack/lnav-config) and can be installed by passing 'extra' +on the command line, like so: + +.. prompt:: bash + + lnav -i extra + +These repositories can be updated by running **lnav** with the '-u' flag. + +Format files can also be made executable by adding a shebang (#!) line to the +top of the file, like so:: + + #! /usr/bin/env lnav -i + { + "myformat_log" : ... + } + +Executing the format file should then install it automatically: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ chmod ugo+rx myformat.json + $ ./myformat.json + info: installed: /home/example/.lnav/formats/installed/myformat_log.json + +.. _format_order: + +Format Order When Scanning a File +--------------------------------- + +When **lnav** loads a file, it tries each log format against the first 15,000 +lines [#]_ of the file trying to find a match. When a match is found, that log +format will be locked in and used for the rest of the lines in that file. +Since there may be overlap between formats, **lnav** performs a test on +startup to determine which formats match each others sample lines. Using +this information it will create an ordering of the formats so that the more +specific formats are tried before the more generic ones. For example, a +format that matches certain syslog messages will match its own sample lines, +but not the ones in the syslog samples. On the other hand, the syslog format +will match its own samples and those in the more specific format. You can +see the order of the format by enabling debugging and checking the **lnav** +log file for the "Format order" message: + +.. prompt:: bash + + lnav -d /tmp/lnav.log + +For JSON-lines log files, the log message must have the timestamp property +specified in the format in order to match. If multiple formats match a +message, the format that has the most matching :code:`line-format` elements +will win. + +.. [#] The maximum number of lines to check can be configured. See the + :ref:`tuning` section for more details. diff --git a/docs/source/group_concat-help.png b/docs/source/group_concat-help.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f7b6f08 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/source/group_concat-help.png diff --git a/docs/source/hotkey-tips.png b/docs/source/hotkey-tips.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5b78686 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/source/hotkey-tips.png diff --git a/docs/source/hotkeys.rst b/docs/source/hotkeys.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4bad1d9 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/source/hotkeys.rst @@ -0,0 +1,300 @@ +.. _hotkeys: + +Hotkey Reference +================ + +This reference covers the keys used to control **lnav**.

This view will be shown by default if any log messages are available. + +On color displays, the log messages will be highlighted as follows: + +* Errors will be colored in red; +* warnings will be yellow; +* search hits are reverse video; +* various color highlights will be applied to: IP addresses, SQL keywords, + XML tags, file and line numbers in Java backtraces, and quoted strings; +* "identifiers" in the messages will be randomly assigned colors based on their + content (works best on "xterm-256color" terminals). + +.. note:: + + If the coloring is too much for your tastes, you can change to the + "grayscale" theme by entering the following command: + + .. code-block:: lnav + + :config /ui/theme grayscale + +.. note:: + + If a log message has a timestamp that is out-of-order with its neighboring + messages, the timestamp will be highlighted in yellow. When one of these + messages is at the top of the log view, an overlay will display the + difference between the "actual time" and the "received time". The "actual + time" is the original textual timestamp. The "received time" is the time + of an earlier message that is larger than this log message's time. + +The source file name for each message can be displayed by scrolling left. +Scrolling left once will show the shortened version of the file name relative +to the other files that are loaded. In the shortened version, the unique +portion of the file name will be in square brackets. Scrolling left a second +time will show the full path. + +The breadcrumb bar will show the following crumbs: + +* the timestamp for the focused line; +* the log format for the focused line; +* the name of the file the focused line was pulled from; +* the "operation ID" of the focused log message, if it is supported by the log + format. + +These crumbs are interactive and can be used to navigate to different parts +of the log view. For example, selecting a different value in the log format +crumb will jump to the first message with that format. + +TEXT +^^^^ + +The text view displays files for which lnav could not detect any log messages. + +Press :kbd:`t` to switch to the text view. While in the text view, you can +press :kbd:`f` or :kbd:`Shift` + :kbd:`F` to switch to the next / previous +text file. + +Markdown +"""""""" + +Files with an :code:`.md` (or :code:`.markdown`) extension will be treated as +Markdown files and rendered separately. + + .. figure:: lnav-markdown-example.png + :align: center + + Viewing the **lnav** :file:`README.md` file. + + +DB +^^ + +The DB view shows the results of queries done through the SQLite interface. +You can execute a query by pressing :kbd:`;` and then entering a SQL statement. + +Press :kbd:`v` to switch to the database result view. + +HELP +^^^^ + +The help view displays the builtin help text. While in the help view, the +breadcrumb bar can be used to navigate to different sections of the document. + +Press :kbd:`?` to switch to the help view. + +HIST +^^^^ + +The histogram view displays a stacked bar chart of messages over time +classified by their log level and whether they've been bookmarked. + +Press :kbd:`i` to switch back and forth to the histogram view. You +can also press :kbd:`Shift` + :kbd:`i` to toggle the histogram view +while synchronizing the top time. While in the histogram view, +pressing :kbd:`z` / :kbd:`Shift` + :kbd:`z` will zoom in/out. + +PRETTY +^^^^^^ + +The pretty-print view takes the text displayed in the current view and shows +the result of a pretty-printer run on that text. For example, if a log +message contained an XML message on a single line, the pretty-printer would +break the XML across multiple lines with appropriate indentation. + +.. figure:: lnav-pretty-view-before.png + :align: center + :figwidth: 90% + + Screenshot of a log message with a flat JSON object. + +.. figure:: lnav-pretty-view-after.png + :align: center + :figwidth: 90% + + Screenshot of the same log message in the PRETTY view. The JSON object + is now indented for easier reading. + +Press :kbd:`Shift` + :kbd:`P` to switch to the pretty-print view. + +SCHEMA +^^^^^^ + +The schema view displays the current schema of the builtin SQLite database. + +Press :kbd:`;` to enter the SQL prompt and then enter :code:`.schema` to +open the schema view. + +SPECTRO +^^^^^^^ + +The spectrogram view is a "three"-dimensional display of data points of a log +field or a SQL query column. The dimensions are time on the Y axis, the range +of data point values on the X axis, and the number of data points as a color. +For example, if you were to visualize process CPU usage over time, the range +of values on the X axis would be CPU percentages and there would be colored +blocks at each point on the line where a process had that CPU percentage, like +so + +.. figure:: lnav-spectro-cpu-pct.png + :align: center + + Screenshot of the **lnav** spectrogram view showing CPU usage of processes. + +The colors correspond to the relative number of data points in a bucket. +The legend overlaid at the top line in the view shows the counts of data +points that are in a particular color, with green having the fewest number of +data points, yellow the middle, and red the most. You can select a particular +bucket using the cursor keys to see the exact number of data points and the +range of values. The panel at the bottom of the view shows the data points +themselves from the original source, the log file or the SQL query results. +You can press :kbd:`TAB` to focus on the details panel so you can scroll +around and get a closer look at the values. diff --git a/docs/source/usage.rst b/docs/source/usage.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d43ed52 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/source/usage.rst @@ -0,0 +1,291 @@ +.. _usage: + +Usage +===== + +This chapter contains an overview of how to use **lnav**. + + +Basic Controls +-------------- + +Like most file viewers, scrolling through files can be done with the usual +:ref:`hotkeys<hotkeys>`. For non-trivial operations, you can enter the +:ref:`command<commands>` prompt by pressing :kbd:`:`.

A +`glob pattern <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)>`_ can be given +to watch for files with a common name. If the path is a directory, all of the +files in the directory will be opened and the directory will be monitored for +files to be added or removed from the view. If the path is an archive or +compressed file (and lnav was built with libarchive), the archive will be +extracted to a temporary location and the files within will be loaded. The +files that are found will be scanned to identify their file format. Files +that match a log format will be collated by time and displayed in the LOG +view. Plain text files can be viewed in the TEXT view, which can be accessed +by pressing :kbd:`t`. + + +Archive Support +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. f0:archive + +If **lnav** is compiled with `libarchive <https://www.libarchive.org>`_, +any files to be opened will be examined to see if they are a supported archive +type. If so, the contents of the archive will be extracted to the +:code:`$TMPDIR/lnav-user-${UID}-work/archives/` directory. Once extracted, the +files within will be loaded into lnav. To speed up opening large amounts of +files, any file that meets the following conditions will be automatically +hidden and not indexed: + +* Binary files +* Plain text files that are larger than 128KB +* Duplicate log files + +The unpacked files will be left in the temporary directory after exiting +**lnav** so that opening the same archive again will be faster. Unpacked +archives that have not been accessed in the past two days will be automatically +deleted the next time **lnav** is started. + + +.. _remote: + +Remote Files +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Files on remote machines can be viewed and tailed if you have access to the +machines via SSH. First, make sure you can SSH into the remote machine without +any interaction by: 1) accepting the host key as known and 2) copying your +identity's public key to the :file:`.ssh/authorized_keys` file on the remote +machine. Once the setup is complete, you can open a file on a remote host +using the same syntax as :command:`scp(1)` where the username and host are +given, followed by a colon, and then the path to the files, like so:: + + [user@]host:/path/to/logs + +For example, to open :file:`/var/log/syslog.log` on "host1.example.com" as the +user "dean", you would write: + +.. prompt:: bash + + lnav dean@host1.example.com:/var/log/syslog.log + +Remote files can also be opened using the :ref:`:open<open>` command. Opening +a remote file in the TUI has the advantage that the file path can be +:kbd:`TAB`-completed and a preview is shown of the first few lines of the +file. + +.. note:: + + If lnav is installed from the `snap <https://snapcraft.io/lnav>`_, you will + need to connect it to the + `ssh-keys plug <https://snapcraft.io/docs/ssh-keys-interface>`_ using the + following command: + + .. prompt:: bash + + sudo snap connect lnav:ssh-keys + +.. note:: + + Remote file access is implemented by transferring an + `αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε <https://justine.lol/ape.html>`_ to the + destination and invoking it. An APE binary can run on most any x86_64 + machine and OS (i.e. MacOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows). The binary is + baked into the lnav executable itself, so there is no extra setup that + needs to be done on the remote machine. + + The binary file is named ``tailer.bin.XXXXXX`` where *XXXXXX* is 6 random digits. + The file is, under normal circumstancies, deleted immediately. + +Searching +--------- + +Any log messages that are loaded into **lnav** are indexed by time and log +level (e.g. error, warning) to make searching quick and easy with +:ref:`hotkeys<hotkeys>`. For example, pressing :kbd:`e` will jump to the +next error in the file and pressing :kbd:`Shift` + :kbd:`e` will jump to +the previous error. Plain text searches can be done by pressing :kbd:`/` +to enter the search prompt. A regular expression can be entered into the +prompt to start a search through the current view. + + +.. _filtering: + +Filtering +--------- + +To reduce the amount of noise in a log file, **lnav** can hide log messages +that match certain criteria. The following sub-sections explain ways to go +about that. + + +Regular Expression Match +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +If there are log messages that you are not interested in, you can do a +"filter out" to hide messages that match a pattern. A filter can be created +using the interactive editor, the :ref:`:filter-out<filter_out>` command, or +by doing an :code:`INSERT` into the +:ref:`lnav_view_filters<table_lnav_view_filters>` table. + +If there are log messages that you are only interested in, you can do a +"filter in" to only show messages that match a pattern. The filter can be +created using the interactive editor, the :ref:`:filter-in<filter_in>` command, +or by doing an :code:`INSERT` into the +:ref:`lnav_view_filters<table_lnav_view_filters>` table. + + +SQLite Expression +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Complex filtering can be done by passing a SQLite expression to the +:ref:`:filter-expr<filter_expr>` command. The expression will be executed for +every log message and if it returns true, the line will be shown in the log +view. + + +Time +^^^^ + +To limit log messages to a given time frame, the +:ref:`:hide-lines-before<hide_lines_before>` and +:ref:`:hide-lines-after<hide_lines_after>` commands can be used to specify +the beginning and end of the time frame. + + +Log level +^^^^^^^^^ + +To hide messages below a certain log level, you can use the +:ref:`:set-min-log-level<set_min_log_level>` command. + +.. _search_tables: + +Search Tables +------------- + +Search tables allow you to access arbitrary data in log messages through +SQLite virtual tables. If there is some data in a log message that you can +match with a regular expression, you can create a search-table that matches +that data and any capture groups will be plumbed through as columns in the +search table. + +Creating a search table can be done interactively using the +:ref:`:create-search-table<create_search_table>` command or by adding it to +a :ref:`log format definition<log_formats>`. The main difference between +the two is that tables defined as part of a format will only search messages +from log files with that format and the tables will include log message +columns defined in that format. Whereas a table created with the command +will search messages from all different formats and no format-specific +columns will be included in the table. + +.. _taking_notes: + +Taking Notes +------------ + +A few of the columns in the log tables can be updated on a row-by-row basis to +allow you to take notes. The majority of the columns in a log table are +read-only since they are backed by the log files themselves. However, the +following columns can be changed by an :code:`UPDATE` statement: + +* **log_part** - The "partition" the log message belongs to. This column can + also be changed by the :ref:`:partition-name<partition_name>` command. +* **log_mark** - Indicates whether the line has been bookmarked. +* **log_comment** - A free-form text field for storing commentary. This + column can also be changed by the :ref:`:comment<comment>` command. +* **log_tags** - A JSON list of tags associated with the log message. This + column can also be changed by the :ref:`:tag<tag>` command. + +While these columns can be updated by through other means, using the SQL +interface allows you to make changes automatically and en masse. For example, +to bookmark all lines that have the text "something interesting" in the log +message body, you can execute: + +.. code-block:: custsqlite + + ;UPDATE all_logs SET log_mark = 1 WHERE log_body LIKE '%something interesting%' + +As a more advanced example of the power afforded by SQL and **lnav**'s virtual +tables, we will tag log messages where the IP address bound by dhclient has +changed. For example, if dhclient reports "bound to 10.0.0.1" initially and +then reports "bound to 10.0.0.2", we want to tag only the messages where the +IP address was different from the previous message. While this can be done +with a single SQL statement [#]_, we will break things down into a few steps for +this example. First, we will use the :ref:`:create-search-table<create_search_table>` +command to match the dhclient message and extract the IP address: + +.. code-block:: lnav + + :create-search-table dhclient_ip bound to (?<ip>[^ ]+) + +The above command will create a new table named :code:`dhclient_ip` with the +standard log columns and an :code:`ip` column that contains the IP address. +Next, we will create a view over the :code:`dhclient_ip` table that returns +the log message line number, the IP address from the current row and the IP +address from the previous row: + +.. code-block:: custsqlite + + ;CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS dhclient_ip_changes AS SELECT log_line, ip, lag(ip) OVER (ORDER BY log_line) AS prev_ip FROM dhclient_ip + +Finally, the following :code:`UPDATE` statement will concatenate the tag +"#ipchanged" onto the :code:`log_tags` column for any rows in the view where +the current IP is different from the previous IP: + +.. code-block:: custsqlite + + ;UPDATE syslog_log SET log_tags = json_concat(log_tags, '#ipchanged') WHERE log_line IN (SELECT log_line FROM dhclient_ip_changes WHERE ip != prev_ip) + +Since the above can be a lot to type out interactively, you can put these +commands into a :ref:`script<scripts>` and execute that script with the +:kbd:`\|` hotkey. + +.. [#] The expression :code:`regexp_match('bound to ([^ ]+)', log_body) as ip` + can be used to extract the IP address from the log message body. + +Sharing Sessions With Others +---------------------------- + +After setting up filters, bookmarks, and making notes, you might want to share +your work with others. If they have access to the same log files, you can +use the :ref:`:export-session-to<export_session_to>` command to write an +executable **lnav** script that will recreate the current session state. The +script contains various SQL statements and **lnav** commands that capture the +current state. So, you should feel free to modify the script or use it as a +reference to learn about more advanced uses of lnav. + +The script will capture the file paths that were explicitly specified and +not the files that were actually opened. For example, if you specified +"/var/log" on the command line, the script will include +:code:`:open /var/log/*` and not an individual open for each file in that +directory. + +Also, in order to support archives of log files, lnav will try to find the +directory where the archive was unpacked and use that as the base for the +:code:`:open` command. Currently, this is done by searching for the top +"README" file in the directory hierarchy containing the files [1]_. The +consumer of the session script can then set the :code:`LOG_DIR_0` (or 1, 2, +...) environment variable to change where the log files will be loaded from. + +.. [1] It is assumed a log archive would have a descriptive README file. + Other heuristics may be added in the future. diff --git a/docs/tutorials/playground/index.md b/docs/tutorials/playground/index.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e1516b1 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/tutorials/playground/index.md @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ + +# Playground + +Welcome to the **lnav** playground! + +There are some sample files loaded into the log and text views. +Press `q` to switch back to the log view and start exploring. +You can also press `f` in this view to switch to the other +text files that are loaded, like a markdown sample. diff --git a/docs/tutorials/playground/logs/access_log.gz b/docs/tutorials/playground/logs/access_log.gz Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..485cf4e --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/tutorials/playground/logs/access_log.gz diff --git a/docs/tutorials/playground/logs/messages.gz b/docs/tutorials/playground/logs/messages.gz Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e6ad012 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/tutorials/playground/logs/messages.gz diff --git a/docs/tutorials/playground/run.sh b/docs/tutorials/playground/run.sh new file mode 100755 index 0000000..4a6723d --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/tutorials/playground/run.sh @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +#!/bin/bash + +export LNAVSECURE=1 +export TERM=xterm-256color + +timeout --foreground --kill-after=30s 10m lnav \ + -d "/tmp/$(echo "playground."$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S")".$$.log")" \ + /tutorials/playground/logs \ + /tutorials/playground/text \ + /tutorials/playground/index.md#playground + +if [ $? = 124 ]; then + echo "error: reached connection time limit, reconnect if you're not a bot." +else + echo "Thanks for trying out lnav!

To +make that quick and easy, **lnav** parses the log messages in log files +as they are loaded and builds indexes of the errors and warnings. You +can then use the following hotkeys to jump to them in the log view: + +| Key | Action | +|-----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| `e` | Move to the next <span class="-lnav_log-level-styles_error">error</span> | +| `Shift+E` | Move to the previous <span class="-lnav_log-level-styles_error">error</span> | +| `w` | Move to the next <span class="-lnav_log-level-styles_warning">warning</span> | +| `Shift+W` | Move to the previous <span class="-lnav_log-level-styles_warning">warning</span> | + +To complete this step in the tutorial, you'll need to navigate to the +errors and warnings in the sample log file. You can check the upper-right +↗↗↗ status bar for tips on what you need to do next. Now, press `q` to +switch to the log view and begin navigating the sample log file. + +## Step 2 + +To search for text in files, you can press `/` to enter the search +prompt. To make it easier to search for text that is on-screen, you +can press `TAB` to complete values that are shown on screen. For +example, to search for the UUID "1AF9293A-F42D-4318-BCDF-60234B240955" +that is in one of the error messages, you can enter "1AF9" and then +press `TAB` to complete the rest of the UUID. + +Press `q` to switch to the log view and try searching for the UUID. + +## Step 3 + +To move to a particular time in the logs, you have a few options: + +* The number keys can be used to move to messages at the ten-minute + marks within an hour. For example, pressing `2` will move to the + first message after the next twenty-minute mark, pressing `3` + will move to the next half-hour mark, and so on. +* Pressing `ENTER` to focus on the breadcrumb bar, then you + can press `TAB` (or right-arrow) to move to the time crumb. + With the time crumb selected, you can then type in an absolute + or relative time. Or, you can use the up and down arrow keys + to select a preset relative time. +* Pressing `:` will activate the command prompt, then you can use + the `:goto` command to move to a given timestamp (or line number). + +Press `q` to switch to the log view and try moving to different +times. + +## Conclusion + +That's all for now, thanks for your time!
