Klogg is cross-platform open source tool designed to view and search information in large log files.

Klogg:

  • Runs on Unix-like systems, Windows and Mac thanks to Qt5
  • Supports Perl-compatible regular expressions
  • Is fast and reads the file directly from disk, without loading it into memory
  • Utilizes all CPU cores to speed up regex-matching
  • Detects file encoding using uchardet library (support utf8, utf16, cp1251 and more)
  • Colorizes the log and search results
  • Watches for file changes on disk and reloads it (kind of like tail)

  • Share your greatest free tools
    Glogg is a great tool, but unfortunately it is not developed anymore. I maintain a fork -- klogg (https://klogg.filimonov.dev). It is generally faster for both opening a file and performing searches. Current dev builds that use hyperscan regular expression engine can open a file and do a search while glogg would still be indexing that file. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Opening large files (>2GB) in Windows
    Once I had to go through an unusually large log file which was around 2GB. I am a regular Notepad++ user but it couldn't handle the file. In addition to opening the file I also needed to search around the file for keywords like Error or Exception. I found klogg to be just the right tool for me. It allows for viewing as well searching for words within the large text file easily. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
  • pyTermTk, a personal attempt to create a Python TUI
    This is still an early stage TUI, many widgets are incomplete or missing (i.e. Text area, partial keyboard support, incomprehensible Documentation) I have very little time to work on it and the progresses are incredibly slow. I develop it in order to create a terminal log viewer that could mimic the features exposed by glogg or klogg. Source: about 2 years ago
