SQLite Interface#
Log analysis in lnav can be done using the SQLite interface. Log messages can be accessed via virtual tables that are created for each file format. The tables have the same name as the log format and each message is its own row in the table. For example, given the following log message from an Apache access log:
127.0.0.1 - frank [10/Oct/2000:13:55:36 -0700] "GET /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 2326
These columns would be available for its row in the access_log
table:
log_line |
log_part |
log_time |
log_idle_msecs |
log_level |
log_mark |
log_comment |
log_tags |
log_filters |
c_ip |
cs_method |
cs_referer |
cs_uri_query |
cs_uri_stem |
cs_user_agent |
cs_username |
cs_version |
sc_bytes |
sc_status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Note
Some columns are hidden by default to reduce the amount of noise in
results, but they can still be accessed when explicitly used. The hidden
columns are: log_path
, log_text
, log_body
, and
log_raw_text
.
You can activate the SQL prompt by pressing the ; key. At the prompt, you can start typing in the desired SQL statement and/or double-tap TAB to activate auto-completion. A help window will appear above the prompt to guide you in the usage of SQL keywords and functions.
A simple query to perform on an Apache access log might be to get the average and maximum number of bytes returned by the server, grouped by IP address:
;SELECT c_ip, avg(sc_bytes), max(sc_bytes) FROM access_log GROUP BY c_ip
After pressing Enter, SQLite will execute the query using lnav’s
virtual table implementation to extract the data directly from the log files.
Once the query has finished, the main window will switch to the DB view to
show the results. Press q to return to the log view and press v
to return to the log view. If the SQL results contain a
log_line
column, you can press to Shift + V to
switch between the DB view and the log
The DB view has the following display features:
Column headers stick to the top of the view when scrolling.
A stacked bar chart of the numeric column values is displayed underneath the rows. Pressing TAB will cycle through displaying no columns, each individual column, or all columns.
JSON columns in the top row can be pretty-printed by pressing p. The display will show the value and JSON-Pointer path that can be passed to the jget function.
Log Tables#
Each log format has its own database table that can be used to access log
messages that match that format. The table name is the same as the format
name, for example, the syslog_log
format will have a table that is
also named syslog_log
. There is also an all_logs
table
that provides access to all messages from all formats.
Note
Only the displayed log messages are reflected in the SQLite interface. Any log messages that have been filtered out are not accessible.
The columns in the log tables are made up of several builtins along with
the values captured by the log format specification. Use the .schema
command in the SQL prompt to examine a dump of the current database schema.
The following columns are builtin and included in a SELECT *
:
- log_line:
The line number for the message in the log view.
- log_part:
The partition the message is in. This column can be changed by an
UPDATE
or the :parition-name command.- log_time:
The adjusted timestamp for the log message. This time can differ from the log message’s time stamp if it arrived out-of-order and the log format expects log files to be time-ordered.
- log_actual_time:
The log messages original timestamp in the file.
- log_idle_msecs:
The difference in time between this messages and the previous. The unit of time is milliseconds.
- log_level:
The log message level.
- log_mark:
True if the log message was marked by the user.
- log_comment:
The comment for the message. This column can be changed by an
UPDATE
or the :comment command.- log_tags:
A JSON list of tags for the message. This column can be changed by an
UPDATE
or the :tag command.- log_annotations:
A JSON object of annotations for this message. This column is populated by the :annotate command.
- log_filters:
A JSON list of filter IDs that matched this message
The following columns are builtin and are hidden, so they will not be
included in a SELECT *
:
- log_time_msecs:
The adjusted timestamp for the log message as the number of milliseconds from the epoch. This column can be more efficient to use for time-related operations, like timeslice().
- log_path:
The path to the log file this message is from.
- log_text:
The full text of the log message.
- log_body:
The body of the log message.
- log_raw_text:
The raw text of this message from the log file. In this case of JSON and CSV logs, this will be the exact line of JSON-Line and CSV text from the file.
Extensions#
To make it easier to analyze log data from within lnav, there are several built-in extensions that provide extra functions and collators beyond those provided by SQLite. The majority of the functions are from the extensions-functions.c file available from the sqlite.org web site.
Tip
You can include a SQLite database file on the command-line and use lnav’s interface to perform queries. The database will be attached with a name based on the database file name.
Commands#
A SQL command is an internal macro implemented by lnav.
.schema
- Open the schema view. This view contains a dump of the schema for the internal tables and any tables in attached databases..msgformats
- Executes a canned query that groups and counts log messages by the format of their message bodies. This command can be useful for quickly finding out the types of messages that are most common in a log file.
Variables#
The following variables are available in SQL statements:
$LINES
- The number of lines in the terminal window.$COLS
- The number of columns in the terminal window.
Environment#
Environment variables can be accessed in queries using the usual syntax of
$VAR_NAME
. For example, to read the value of the “USER” variable, you
can write:
;SELECT $USER
Collators#
naturalcase - Compare strings “naturally” so that number values in the string are compared based on their numeric value and not their character values. For example, “foo10” would be considered greater than “foo2”.
naturalnocase - The same as naturalcase, but case-insensitive.
ipaddress - Compare IPv4/IPv6 addresses.
