When Time Machine goes awry, OS X's system logs record what went wrong. LogViewer makes it easier to find that info in the log. Note: If you are seeing the entry TeamViewerDesktop in your list, make sure to check this box as well. Repeat the same for Full Disk Access and Screen Recording. Those are required to control your Mac. Click again on the padlock in the lower-left corner to prevent further changes.

Why GoAccess?

GoAccess was designed to be a fast, terminal-based log analyzer. Its core idea is to quickly analyze and view web server statistics in real time without needing to use your browser (great if you want to do a quick analysis of your access log via SSH, or if you simply love working in the terminal).

While the terminal output is the default output, it has the capability to generate a complete, self-contained real-timeHTML report (great for analytics, monitoring and data visualization), as well as a JSON, and CSV report.

Key Features — See Full List

  • Fast, real-time, millisecond/second updates, written in C
  • Only ncurses as a dependency
  • Nearly all web log formats (Apache, Nginx, Amazon S3, Elastic Load Balancing, CloudFront, etc)
  • Simply set the log format and run it against your log
  • Beautiful terminal and bootstrap dashboards (Tailor GoAccess to suit your own color taste/schemes)
  • and of course, Valgrind tested.
