humanlog

Read logs from stdin and prints them back to stdout, but prettier.

Using it

On macOS

brew tap humanlogio/homebrew-tap
brew install humanlog

On linux (and macOS)

curl -sSL "https://humanlog.io/install.sh" | sh

Otherwise

Grab a release!

Example

If you emit logs in JSON or in logfmt, you will enjoy pretty logs when those entries are encountered by humanlog. Unrecognized lines are left unchanged.

$ humanlog < /var/log/logfile.log
