• Intrusion detection software?

  If you are looking for something more lightweight to start out with, I'd suggest a look at logwatch. Source: over 2 years ago

• Login monitoring (Windows + Linux); event log monitoring

• ht: Headless Terminal

  As others have kinda alluded to, it could be useful for testing TUI applications. I develop a logfile viewer for the terminal (https://lnav.org) and have a similar application[1] for testing, but it's a bit flaky. It produces/checks snapshots like [2]. I think the problems I run into are more around different versions of ncurses producing slightly different outputs. [1] - - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

• Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?

  The Logfile Navigator (https://lnav.org) is a log file viewer/merger/tailer for the terminal.

• Angle-grinder: Slice and dice logs on the command line

  See https://lnav.org for a powerful mini-ETL CLI power tool; it embeds SQLite, supports ~every format, has great UX and easily handles a few million rows at a time. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Toolong: Terminal application to view, tail, merge, and search log files

  The code base seems like a good reference as a small Python project. My fav option in this class of apps: https://lnav.org/ It lets you use journalctl with pipes as requested here: https://github.com/Textualize/toolong/issues/4. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Logdy.dev – web based logs viewer UI for local development environment

  For local development, I cannot recommend lnav[1] enough. Discovering this tool was a game changer in my day to day life. Adding comments, filtering in/out, prettify and analyse distribution is hard to live without now. I don't think a browser tool would fit in my workflow. I need to pipe the output to the tool.
