PimpMyLog alternatives?

[jaredatch]

Seems this project is abandoned.

Last update was from 2017. If you visit their support/knowledge base forums, it's almost entirely spam. You can almost see the tumble weeds blowing down the street 😁

So with that said, are there any actively maintained alternatives?

[Judokus]

@jaredatch check out https://goaccess.io/

[DanielRuf]

Well but Goaccess is in C and not PHP so not a real alternative (for many).

[osopolar]

@Judokus AFAICS PimpMyLog is a log viewer, while GoAccess is a log analyzer, see project descriptions respectively. So it's not an alternative, but a complement.

PimpMyLog:

Pimp my Log is a web app written in PHP. It displays server logs friendly.

GoAccess:

GoAccess is an open source real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal on *nix systems or through your browser.

I am also interested in alternatives.

@jaredatch maybe https://github.com/Monitorr/logarr/

phpmylog is still awesome even though it is 2 years old last updated, what feature are you missing?
it is still the best log viewer...

[p3x-robot]

iright monitorr has 100x stars and phpmylog is over 500 stars, compare...

[DanielRuf]

The stars count does not tell anything about a software and its quality so it does not matter.

3 years later, just to inform people that don't test before opening mouth...

1. PimpMyLog works flawlessly, with ALL types of logs (yes, you need to open the hood and do regex)
2. It works on shared web hosting, where one can't install other solutions from terminal, like Graphana or Goaccess
3. The level of customization is without limits.
4. The code is VERY well written with comments, from classes to static files, so feel free to pull requests, @potsky always committed good ideas and fixes (like this the project will be ... recent ) ! Why fix it when it's not broken ?

Cheers !

PS. Thanks for this wonderful piece of art @potsky !

Hello folks,

thank you for your messages and indeed, PmL is abandoned for almost 3 years.

I had created a new company and it has crashed several months ago. I spend my time now to find a new job in France and... this is not the best period to do so :-)

I stopped the development too because open source is really time consuming. PR never respect correct branches, devs do not read the documentations (expected ok!), ...

PmL has no business model so I will not be able to live from PmL revenues. If we stay at home for 2 years because of Covid19 and if French government give me money to live with my family, perhaps I will restart the development !

Why restart ? Because I would rewrite it with :

• Lumen in PHP or in Go to make a binary without dependencies on all platforms
• Vue.js for frontend

Thank you all to have given a try to PmL.

💋

[DanielRuf]

Thanks for your update @potsky. Maybe you can join forces with @hunterlong who biulds @statping using Vue and Go and works great so far.

I would definitely prefer a solution in Go and with Vue for the frontend and I would support / help then.

so basically pimp my log is not working again on live host? @potsky

[DanielRuf]

so basically pimp my log is not working again on live host?

The code has not changed and should work like before.

[sirjp1]

It is not working when you try it on a hosted website it only works on localhost

"It is not working" is not a very helpful statement. In this case please open a new issue, provide all the steps that you have done and relevant errorlog files / error messages.

on a hosted server the page for configure me pops up but when i click on configure me now it shows a blank page i checked the network on inspection to know where the data stopped but the page did not send any data On Sunday, April 19, 2020, 1:16:32 PM GMT+1, Daniel Ruf <notifications@github.com> wrote: It is not working when you try it on a hosted website it only works on localhost "It is not working" is not a very helpful statement.

We can and will not troubleshoot this in this issue which has a completely different topic.

Also please also check your browser console for errors.

Hi !

@sirjp1 is PHP installed ? 😂 Ok, my bad, it was a joke :-)

It seems you have an error with your PHP install on your server and then PHP script cannot be executed. You should check manually what kind of error it could be...

I just have resuscitated demo.pimpmylog.com in HTTPS, you can take a look, it works ;-) https://demo.pimpmylog.com

And just between us, localhost, or my computer, or a baremetal server or a virtual server hosted by GCP, AWS, DO, whatever, this is exactly the same thing ;-)

Cheers 🍻

[sirjp1]

lol i will check on it and give you a feedback On Sunday, April 19, 2020, 8:47:27 PM GMT+1, Potsky <notifications@github.com> wrote: Hi ! @sirjp1 is PHP installed ? 😂 Ok, my bad, it was a joke :-) It seems you have an error with your PHP install on your server and then PHP script cannot be executed.

the demo looks pretty good but it is accessible for everyone that is for starters and please is the one on Github updated? because I am trying to do that one but the configure me keeps bouncing back and the manual way to configure it is pretty confusing On Monday, April 20, 2020, 1:09:45 AM GMT+1, johnpaul ezisi-abana <johnpaulezisiabana@yahoo.com> wrote: lol i will check on it and give you a feedback On Sunday, April 19, 2020, 8:47:27 PM GMT+1, Potsky <notifications@github.com> wrote: Hi ! @sirjp1 is PHP installed ? 😂 Ok, my bad, it was a joke :-) It seems you have an error with your PHP install on your server and then PHP script cannot be executed.

@potsky
Close another year gone and things got more challenging. But -
PmL is imho still one of the best tools around and I am happy with it.
It perfectly does what I am expecting - since years!
Do not give up, and even it may take some hours of your time, take a look to the PR´s or issues and respond to those who are willed to improve your great crafted piece of sw. It would be a shame if this is gonna dying silently.

[potsky]

Thank you @mmattel for your words 😍
I have definitively no time for open-source project :-( But I am opened to add contributors or repository owner if someone wants to continue the development...
