This tool helps searching large numbers of files across multiple locations. It is particularly useful when looking for information in sosreports and can be run against multiple sosreports to get data across hosts.
Note that since this is a strictly confined snap the log files must be under $HOME
Install
sudo snap install logsearch
If you need to search a path on a remote file-system you will need:
sudo snap connect logsearch:removable-media
Examples
Basic search - all messages containing ERROR in /var/log/apache:
logsearch -d apache -k error mysosreports/
Or to look for errors in /var/log/syslog* (i.e. files not dir)
logsearch -f syslog -k error mysosreports/
Advanced search - all messages containing "2ae8d37" in /var/log/neutron and filtering out any debug or info level messages:
logsearch -d neutron -k 2ae8d37 -e 'DEBUG|INFO' mysosreports/

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 9 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install logsearch, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install logsearch
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
