The log formats **lnav** uses to parse a file are defined by a simple
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file. Many formats are already built in to the **lnav** binary
|
|
|
|
|
and you can define your own using a JSON file. When loading files, each format
|
|
|
|
|
is checked to see if it can parse the first few lines in the file. Once a match
|
|
|
|
|
is found, that format will be considered that files format and used to parse the
|
|
|
|
|
remaining lines in the file.
