Hi HN,<p>I built TWSLA because I was tired of waiting for grep/awk on multi-gigabyte logs, and I didn't want to spin up a full ELK stack just for a quick analysis.<p>TWSLA is a single binary CLI tool that focuses on three things:
1. Speed: Blazing fast log parsing and counting.
2. Simplicity: One command to extract data or generate terminal-based graphs.
3. Portability: No dependencies, works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.<p>It handles Syslog, Apache/Nginx access logs, and custom formats easily. I've been refining this as part of my 25-year journey in network management tools.<p>Key features:
- High-speed filtering and counting
- Data extraction (IPs, Emails, etc.) via simple commands
- Built-in graphing capabilities (even in the terminal for some environments)<p>I'd love to hear how you currently handle "quick and dirty" log analysis and if TWSLA could fit into your workflow.<p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/twsnmp/twsla" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/twsnmp/twsla</a>
