Gonzo is an open-source terminal UI log analyzer that streams logs from cloud and container sources so engineers can triage runtime issues with patterns, heatmaps, and filters in real time.
About
Gonzo is ControlTheory's open-source terminal log analyzer—a Go TUI that streams logs from modern stacks into a fast dashboard with word frequency, severity timelines, heatmaps, and pattern detection. Developers reach for it when dashboards are too slow or heavy and they need in-flow triage during incidents, deployment checks, or local debugging. Pipe any log source to gonzo or point it at Kubernetes, OTLP, or log files for immediate visual analysis without standing up a full observability platform.
- k9s-inspired TUI with real-time charts and regex filtering
- Ingests Vercel, Supabase, K8s, Docker, AWS, Cloudflare, OTLP, and local files
- Drain3 pattern detection plus optional AI anomaly insights
- Free, no account; pipe kubectl logs or follow files with --follow
