Yata is a general purpose log viewer and file monitor with a nice pretty GUI. "Yata" is an acronym for "Yet Another Tail Application", so named because of its focus on viewing logs in real time (similar to what one might use "tail -f" on the unix command line for). Another possible rendering of "yata" is "Yata Ain't TAil!", for yata does not just replicate the functionality of the unix tail command in a GUI. For instance, here is a short list of current features:
- Ability to open large files quickly, and fast scrolling to anywhere in the file
- Searching and highlighting by regular expression
- Viewing real-time changes to a file, with or without highlighting
Yata is based on Qt 5.10.0 (or greater) and yaml-cpp 0.5.x. Currently targeted platforms are Linux and Windows.
Based on the great work of James Smith Yata has been restarted by MrMontag. I hope I'll have new features ready soon.
After a long hiatus, I am continuing development on Yata again. A lot has happened in my personal life over the past year that has prevented me from focusing on this project (i.e., new baby, new job, etc.), but I'm now committed to pushing out some new features over the next few months.
Thank you to everyone who has tried it out despite my warnings that it's prerelease software, and thank you especially to those of you who have submitted bug reports! I'm going through them now, and can hopefully do some fixing soon.
The latest version of Yata is 0.2.0. While still an alpha release, this new version has a few improvements over 0.1; namely the ability to select and copy text and customizing text colors. Many thanks to people who have downloaded the first version so far. I hope the second version works even better! If you have any feedback, please send me an email.
Please note that yata is currently alpha quality software; please do not use for anything mission critical!
