LogAtlas

Stop reading raw log files. Start understanding them.

LogAtlas replaces VS Code's default text view for .log files with a purpose-built viewer — auto-parsed, colour-coded, and filterable without leaving your editor.

What it does

Just open a .log file. LogAtlas automatically detects whether it's a Laravel, Nginx, or Apache log and shows every entry in a clean, structured list — no setup, no config.

Features

🎨 Colour-coded severity — ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG each get a distinct badge colour that matches your VS Code theme (light, dark, and high-contrast)

🔍 Real-time search — filter by message, URL, or IP address as you type; matches are highlighted inline

⚡ Level & time filters — show only the severity you care about, optionally limited to the last 1h / 24h / 7 days

📋 Stack trace collapse — multi-line traces are folded by default; click ▶ or press Enter to expand

🚀 Handles huge files — files over 5 MB stream progressively so entries appear as they load, not after

Supported Formats

More formats coming — see the roadmap below.

Usage

1. Install LogAtlas from the Marketplace
2. Open any .log file — LogAtlas activates automatically
3. Use the filter bar to narrow down entries by level, keyword, or time

Need the raw file? Click the Open as Plain Text icon (↗) in the editor title bar to switch back to the default text view at any time.
