Live tail, search and deep search

Pick a log, watch it tail live, and filter it instantly — with an optional second term to narrow the results. Deep search digs through rotated and gzipped archives when you need history.

37 pre-configured logs: Apache, Nginx, Exim, MySQL/MariaDB, cPanel and system
Case-insensitive substring filter with highlighted matches, plus a second "narrow" term
Deep search across the whole rotation family (access_log.1, access_log.2.gz…), decompressed on the fly
Terminal-style viewer with infinite scroll and a 5-second live refresh

Tune the log list to your server

Hide the defaults you never open, let the extension find where MySQL really writes its logs, and add any custom path on the server.

Hide or show any shipped log without deleting it — survives updates
MySQL/MariaDB auto-discovery of error, slow-query and general logs
Add your own absolute log paths (validated — no ".." or glob characters)
A quick-search tile on the dashboard launches a search without opening the module

Search Logs — questions

Yes. Search Logs ships bundled with the Astral Toolbox core at no cost — install the module and it's there.

Yes. Deep search traverses the whole rotation family — access_log.1, access_log.2.gz, and so on — decompressing .gz archives on the fly (up to 30 files).

No. A search stops after scanning 16 MiB (single file) or 64 MiB (deep search) and asks you to refine the term, so a broad search never exhausts the server.

Yes. Add any absolute path on the server; custom entries are stored separately and preserved across extension updates.

Stop SSHing in just to read a log

Search Logs is free with Astral Toolbox — install the module and start searching.
