deepin Log Viewer is a graphical application for examining logs produced by the operating system and applications.
It provides a more approachable way to investigate system activity than manually opening individual log files or querying different logging facilities. The program is developed as part of the Deepin ecosystem and uses Qt together with the Deepin Tool Kit. Its interface brings different categories of diagnostic information together so that administrators and desktop users can investigate problems from a single application.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Search log entries by entering keywords, with matching results displayed as the query is entered.
- Filter displayed information using criteria appropriate to the selected type of log.
- Select an individual entry to inspect its detailed information separately from the main log list.
- Work with system and kernel logs together with other log categories exposed by the host system.
- Add custom log files for viewing through GSettings or DConfig configuration.
- Export the results of a log query to a local file for subsequent analysis or troubleshooting.
- Export all available logs in one operation rather than saving each category individually.
- Refresh log information manually or configure automatic refreshes at selectable intervals.
- Open the original storage location of supported logs directly in the file manager.
- Clear supported logs from the interface, using password authentication where privileged access is required.
- Offers Light, Dark and System themes so that its appearance can follow desktop preferences.
- Uses Polkit for operations that require elevated privileges rather than requiring the entire application to run as root.
