krapslog
Visualize a log file with sparklines
When troubleshooting a problem with a production service, I often need to get the general shape of a log file. Are there any spikes? Was the load higher during the incident than it was beforehand? Does anything else stand out? Without tooling to help you, a large log file is little more than a blob of data. This tool is designed to quickly surface key features of the log — and then get out of your way.

Custom date formats
By default, krapslog assumes that log timestamps are in the Common Log Format (CLF), which looks like this: "02/Jan/2006:15:04:05.000" (timezone offset is ignored). However, you can use the format parameter to find timestamps in other formats. The parameter value must use a format that's recognized by strftime.
For example, if your log contains dates that look like "Jan 1, 2020 15:04:05", you can run krapslog as follows:
krapslog --format "%b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S" ...
