Video: "Doing better than tail -f"

Open tstack opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

Add a video to the lnav YT channel that goes over what makes it better than tail/grep.

Show a terminal that is split and running both things tailing a log (multiline line, postgres?).

Things to demonstrate:

  • Syntax highlighting means errors show up as red, warnings in yellow.
  • Can jump to the previous error by pressing Shift+E.
  • grep works on lines, not messages
  • Scrolling up is easier
  • Searching is always running and highlighting
