Jazz up the log viewer #12

Open dhruvkb opened 5 years ago

dhruvkb commented 5 years ago

As of now the log viewer, ./scripts/start/logs.sh is just a barebones Bash container. There are no helpful tools to ease the log tracing experience. The mission is to improve the log reading experience making it interactive, colourful, helpful and fun using tools, scripts, aliases and functions.

After some digging, I found Log File Navigator (lnav) which is a great tool for our cause. But it requires extensive configuration before use, in terms of explaining our log format to the tool before it can help us.

The mission is to develop a new Docker image containing lnav pre-configured with our log file format. Some change would also be made in IMGIITRoorkee/omniport-backend in order to make the logs more standardised.

Are you still looking to do this? I could help make a format file for you.
