CLOG v0.6.3 - High-Visibility Caddy Log Viewer now available!

Showcase

Hey all, I’ve been running Caddy for a while and got tired of squinting at raw JSON log streams. I built CLOG to solve that — it’s a lightweight terminal tool that transforms Caddy’s structured access logs into a clean, human-readable format.

It tails your log file in real time, colour codes statuses, and has a full dashboard mode which gives you a live RPS counter and status code distribution at a glance. There’s also filtering by host, URL, errors only, and an option to hide asset requests so you can focus on actual page hits.

It’s a single binary, zero config — just point it at your access log and go.

Linux amd64 and arm64 builds available.

Quick install:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hellotimking/clog/main/install.sh | bash

(or grab the binary directly from the releases page if you prefer)

Would love feedback from anyone who gives it a try, very open to adding / updating features!

I like the Top-IP in the dashboard mode and the simple ability to hide all “assets” like .css and images.

Would be great if you could add the user_id to the log lines columns.

Glad you like the dashboard mode, and hiding assets, and the user_id is a great suggestion to add to the columns!

I’ve been toying with the idea of adding a config-first stance with the next version that would allow a user to config the exact columns of data they’d like to see.
