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.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
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.
