## What it is
Gonzo is a Go-based terminal UI (TUI) for real-time log analysis, inspired by k9s. It visualizes log streams with charts, filtering, and AI-powered insights via Ollama or OpenAI, and ingests logs from sources like OpenTelemetry and various cloud platforms.

## Use cases
- analyze kubernetes or cloud logs in the terminal
- view real-time log streams with charts and severity heatmaps
- get AI-generated summaries of log errors
- ingest opentelemetry OTLP logs locally
- filter and search high-volume log streams
- monitor vercel, supabase, or cloudwatch logs from the CLI

## When to choose
- you want a k9s-style interactive TUI for live log analysis
- you need AI-assisted log insights without leaving the terminal
- you work with OpenTelemetry or multiple cloud log sources

## When to avoid
- you need long-term log storage or a persistent web dashboard
- you prefer GUI-based log management tools
- you need structured log alerting or retention policies
