I first responded before your edit about ssh and localhost, so: yeah, as briefly mentioned in the article, as of today there's no shortcut even for localhost. I was debating whether I should implement this feature before open sourcing it, but I had to draw the line somewhere (I have TONS of ideas what could be implemented), and since reading local logs isn't the primary focus of nerdlog, I decided to skip it for now.

But yes the bypass for localhost can definitely be implemented.

Yeah, I'm bouncing for now on the localhost requirement. Or, on a related issue of not parsing my .ssh/config, a Match directive, and not wanting it to parse it yet. I grep'ed for an env var to override, but only USER and SSH_AUTH_SOCK are pulled in.

I did go get install ...nerdlog/cmd/nerdlog-tui@latest just fine.

Thanks for hacking in the open, and releasing early.

  • Sorry to hear you're having issues. I'll try to reproduce and fix the issue with the Match.

    Not sure if that "Thanks" for releasing early is sarcastic, but regardless, I appreciate the feedback.

    • I would say that their thanks is sincere, and that they're applauding you for releasing a new tool to a public/critical audience while also taking feedback in very constructive manner.
