Comment on Are there any visualisations for hd-idle log files?
RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months agoI get your point and it was an emergency option to at some point take time and do it myself, sure. But that is not what I asked, not even sure when I have the time to do this.

There aren’t log visualizers for every artisanal log file format. But there’s a movement towards supporting JSON format logs for more services, and lots tools that can understand JSON logs making generating graphs and metrics from arbitrary logs fairly efficient.
If this tool is making the logs harder to parse by using a custom format, that’s something the tool could improve.
Some apps support both plaintext logs for humans and JSON logs for tools.
