Lnav PaaS: Instant, Searchable Insight from Your Logs

Lnav PaaS is a platform-as-a-service implementation of Lnav, the command-line log navigator. Running Lnav as a managed PaaS means you get powerful log parsing, syntax highlighting, SQL-style queries, and live views without the pain of setup or scaling. It’s built for real-time analysis in production.

Why Lnav PaaS matters

Logs contain the truth about performance, security, and failures. Most teams waste hours digging through them. Lnav PaaS indexes your logs, merges formats, and lets you interrogate data instantly. It eliminates manual tailing and cluttered text dumps. You get structured data from unstructured noise in seconds.

Key capabilities

  • Automatic format detection: Supports JSON, syslog, Apache, MySQL, and more.
  • SQL query language: Filter, join, and aggregate logs directly.
  • Live streaming: Watch logs update in real time without reloading.
  • Bookmarking and tagging: Keep critical events visible and organized.
  • Secure PaaS deployment: No local dependencies, no sync hassles.

Deploying Lnav PaaS

Because it runs as a managed service, installing Lnav PaaS is simple. Provision the instance, point it at your log sources, and start navigating. Scaling to millions of events per minute is automatic. Updates happen in the background with zero downtime.

When to use Lnav PaaS

Use it when an outage hits and you need answers now. Use it when compliance requires searchable history. Use it to debug microservices without drowning in containers’ stdout. Lnav PaaS turns logging from a chore into a fast, precise tool for making decisions.

Lnav has always been fast on the command line. Lnav PaaS makes it faster across your entire infrastructure.
