Look into https://logdy.dev . I've played around with it a little bit, but really putting some work into learning it and integrating it with OTEL traces is my next side project.
Another alternative is https://openobserve.ai/ . It needs to run as a daemon to ingest logs (instead of opening a file), but it has a really nice UI.
Logdy author here, thanks for calling out the project! Kubetail is probably best fit for k8s while Logdy is leveraging more unix-like philosophy of being a self contained tool you can tailor to your needs whether that's tailing files, pumping it through TCP socket or REST API.
I have plans to include a sqlite storage so Logdy could be used in environments where permanent storage is needed
I’ve tried it, but it didn’t seem to have enough structure log support, so I gave up. I just want a way to say “this is a jsonl stream” and have it do the right thing, which is parse out the json paths of each line, and let me filter by those, or add columns for those to the viewer table. It’s not trivial to do this, but that’s exactly why it needs to be done.
