Comment on Ask HN: What is a simple tool for parsing and analyzing log files?parent

It's simpler in the sense that journalctl already provides some filter options that you no longer need to build yourself.

There are a lot of people that use OS with systemd, but only a small part know about journalctl. I took this opportunity to spread this information.

The bastard in me wants to say "once again systemd and its ecosystem reinvent something that the Unix Way already solved decades ago, just in a different way".

But in reality, thanks for the tip. I used your example today to look into an issue I'd have otherwise been cussing "where's the damn logs!".
