The logras (Logfile Read And Search) project is in its early stages.

The goal is to produce a pair of simple utilities (one interactive, one as a CLI utility) to provide a combined view of multiple logs on a Linux system. The reason for writing it is that I have been in need of a facility like this, and have not found one so far that fit my requirements, specifically of being able to deal with (very) large logs on small (embedded) systems connected through relatively slow lines.

Status:

• Released pre-alpha version 0.0-1, containing only lograw(1), the non-interactive utility, on 2015-05-31. Not suitable for any real use yet.
• Released second pre-alpha 0.0-2, containing an early version of logras(1) as well, on 2015-06-06. Likewise not usable yet.
• Now working on code for the interactive viewer, and the many open issues in their combined back-end code.

The intent for this project is to produce an easy-to use, terminal-based, single-stream viewer for logfiles like you'd find in /var/log, showing the entries in chronological order, to make it easy to correlate events that got logged to different files, with no learning curve for the default use.
No code yet, just starting on it.

Started on the basic skeleton for the file and configuration descriptors. About 1% done with this, a few hundred lines of very basic C++ in.
