That's good news that we have /var/log/socklog/everything/current, but I'm also trying to figure the format. Is it like this? (sourced from chatgpt)

If so, then yeah it's totally doable to make this format supported.

Re: config.yaml, yeah I thought of that, but in the long term I rather wanted it to be nerdlogrc.lua, so a Lua script which nerdlog executes on startup. Similar to vim (or rather, more like neovim in this case since it's Lua). Certainly having config.yaml is easier to implement, but in the longer term it may make things more confusing if we also introduce the Lua scripting.

Sadly no. The format is (with examples):

  2025-04-21T19:18:15.09577 user.notice: Apr 21 21:18:15 root: ACPI group/action undefined: jack/lineout / LINEOUT

  2025-04-21T19:18:15.98845 daemon.debug: Apr 21 19:18:15 rtkit-daemon[1368]: Supervising 0 threads of 0 processes of 1 users.

And yes! That is even better for configuration!

Maybe the format could be customizable per log file, too.
