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/` ### Package name * logsearch --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 15 January 2022 - latest/stable * 15 January 2022 - latest/edge This snap hasn't been updated in a while.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-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](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (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. ### Install logsearch To install logsearch, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install logsearch ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
