DAW for logs #49

Open abitrolly opened 2 years ago

abitrolly commented 2 years ago

DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation and it allows to work with multiple parallel tracks to render a single audio stream in the end. Here is an example of LMMS.

I need the same stuff for inspecting logs and metrics at certain point of time.

If you have a simple web site with some script, the current DevOps solution is to throw an Elasticsearch + Prometeus + Graphana + somelogcollectors monstrosity at it and pay twice the rent of the server. An alternative is to use some 3rd party service to do the same stuff for you. But if the logs are already there. Web server writes them, my script writes them. Why I need all that stuff just to be able to set some paths and let my DAW4Logs go fetch them and display on a single timeline? That's the idea.
