- dimonomid 2y agoNot really, at least not yet, because nerdlog's focus is very different than that of lnav. There is a section about it in the article as well. In fact nerdlog doesn't even support anything like -f (realtime following) yet. The idea to implement it did cross my mind, but I never really needed it in practice, so I figured I'd spend my time on something else. Might do it some day if the demand is popular, but still, nerdlog in general is not about just reading a continuous stream of logs; it's rather about being able to query arbitrary time periods from remote logs, and being very fast at that.
