firetail is a tui tool designed to filter and view your Opnsense firewall logs with ease, It's still in development, but it already offers key features for efficient log analysis.
Key features include:
- Interactive viewing: Use simple keybindings for efficient navigation.
- Real-time log viewing: Optionally view logs directly from the firewall.
With firetail, you can quickly parse and interact with firewall logs, ensuring you stay on top of your network security.
- A linux based OS.
- Nerd Fonts (optional, but recommended for proper icon rendering)
You can install firetail with cargo:
cargo install firetailfiretail [OPTIONS] [LOGFILE]
Use --help to print the help message.
