hl is a fast, high-performance CLI log viewer and processor written in Rust that converts JSON and logfmt logs into human-readable output. It supports filtering by field, level, and timestamp range, live follow mode, and fast chronological sorting with indexing.
Use cases
- view logs in human readable format
- filter structured logs by level and fields
- follow and sort logs from multiple files by timestamp
- pretty-print logfmt output in the terminal
- quickly search large log files by time range
When to choose
- you regularly read JSON or logfmt logs from the terminal
- you need fast filtering and sorting over very large log files
- you want a jq-less, human-friendly alternative to raw structured logs
When to avoid
- you need a centralized log aggregation service with a web UI
- your logs are plain unstructured text without JSON or logfmt
