LogFormatter: Guide

What it does

• Formats plain text logs (e.g., Nginx access logs) into a readable view
• Highlights useful parts (status codes, methods, key terms)
• Filters lines to focus on errors or specific URLs/keywords
• Browser-only, no storage

Use this when

• You need to scan server logs quickly
• You want to isolate 500/404 lines or timeouts
• You want to share logs in an issue/chat with less explanation

Keywords: log formatter, nginx access log viewer, log highlighter, log filter tool

How to use

1. Paste your logs (multi-line)
2. Select a preset / format (if available)
3. Use filters to focus on the lines you need

Tip: start with “500”, “404”, “timeout”, or the path you’re investigating.

Notes (limits)

• If the log format is custom, highlighting/filtering may be less accurate.
• Check for secrets before pasting (tokens, emails, phone numbers).
• Very large logs can slow down the browser—paste in chunks.
