Log--

English | 中文

log + AI = log-- : Regex-based VS Code log viewer.

• AI configures — spotlight what you care about, fold everything else.
• AI analyzes — visual reasoning chain, click any step to jump to that line.

Built for debugging large log files: Android logcat, kernel logs, app traces, and more.

Features

🎨 Group Coloring & Auto-Fold

Define regex groups with colors to spotlight issues. Unmatched lines auto-fold — expand on demand.

🔍 Keywords

Match annotation — annotate cryptic values with human-readable hints at line end. Live position — shows which match number your cursor is closest to, tap to jump. Timeline - see keyword hit distribution across time, click to navigate.

🔖 Bookmarks

Mark any line for quick return. Bookmarks live in a dedicated tree view with gutter icons in the editor. Drag to nest or reorder across files, F2 to rename, and pick a color to spot them at a glance.

🤖 AI + Evidence

Built-in Agent Skill — AI configures filters for you, analyzes logs, and draws clickable flowcharts tracing the evidence chain.

🚩 Ring Buffer Detection

Detects timestamp wrap-around in ring-buffer logs. The reset point is marked with a red flag icon.

🖱️ Right-Click Grep

Read logs in editor, grep definitions in terminal — best of both worlds.

Example: Agent Workflow

"This log file may contain a crash caused by the audio module. Use Log-- to filter out unrelated modules, analyze the crash from root cause to impact, and draw a flowchart with clickable links to key lines."

Usage

1. Open a log file in VS Code.
2. Configure regex groups and keywords in the Log-- sidebar.
   • Or use the Solution dropdown to apply a saved / AI-generated config.
3. Click Go — matched lines colorize, unmatched lines fold.
4. Navigate — ↑/↓ on keywords to jump hits; scroll-wheel on timeline to zoom.
5. Export & Import — share configs with your team.

📏 Large File Support

For huge logs (1M+ line Android dumps), use grep-export to extract matched lines to a smaller file where folding works.
