Grep works… until it doesn't.
Once logs get messy - multi-line stack traces, mixed formats, repeated errors - reading them in the terminal gets painful fast. I usually start with grep, maybe pipe things through awk, and at some point end up scrolling through less trying to spot where the pattern breaks.
How do you usually deal with this? When logs get hard to read, do you:
- preprocess logs first?
- build awk/grep pipelines?
- rely on centralized logging?
- or just scroll and try to recognize patterns?
