Thanks for sharing! Good to know that nerdlog turns out to be helpful not only for devs (the original use case), but also for DevOps :)
Fyi, support for journalctl was added to master, in case you wanted to try it out. I didn't yet add automated tests with the mocked journalctl, but my manual tests show that it's working fine.
If a system doesn't have either `/var/log/messages` or `/var/log/syslog`, nerdlog will now resort to `journalctl` by default.
It can also be selected explicitly by specifying `journalctl` as the file, e.g. `myserver.com:22:journalctl`.
Looking good so far! Now it just needs localhost-without-SSH enabled by default (so that as a new user I test out nerdlog immediately without having to think about which server to connect it to), and your initial onboarding/out-of-the-box experience will be ready for a very wide audience! :-)
Yeah, I agree. Gonna try and get it done on some weekend.
Thanks for trying it out, and for all the suggestions, very helpful!
And thank you again for being so receptive to feedback!
