In looking for an app to view logs that doesn't require a lot of overhead, I stumbled upon Logwatch. After running it through it's paces, it seems to be pretty capable from docker, fail2ban, to sys logs.
I got to wondering if there are other such log viewers I could try that are in the same genre. Logwatch doesn't greate pretty graphics and dialed out dashboards, but it's fairly quick, I can view from a range of dates and times, and a variety of logs.
I checked out GoAcces, but it seemed geared towards web related logs like webpage hits, etc. With other options requiring elastisearch, databases, etc, they just seemed heavy for my application.
Anyone have any suggestions. So far, Logwatch does what it says on the tin, but I'm curious what others have tried or still use.
ETA: Thanks all for the recommends. I'm still going over a couple of them, but lnav seems like what I'm looking for.
That would be wild if it was caused by logging, even a cheap piece of crap SSD is usually rated for 500TBW. Even if you were generating 1TB of logs per month that would still be 41 years before it wears out.
My ebay used enterprise SSDs are rated for 3.6PBW, and they were cheaper than a basic consumer Samsung drive at the time.
